Polymarket Berita

Polymarket is a prediction market platform built using blockchain technology that lets people speculate on the outcome of real-world events by trading shares tied to those outcomes. It’s often described as the world’s largest decentralized prediction market.

At its core, Polymarket is a peer-to-peer prediction market:

Like other prediction markets, Polymarket’s markets are tied to questions like “Will X happen?”

You can buy “Yes” or “No” shares on an outcome.

The price reflects its implied probability (e.g., $0.70 ≈ 70% chance) and this is commonly referred to as ‘the wisdom of the crowd’.

Trade or Hold: You can trade those shares with others before the event resolves, similar to trading financial assets.

Resolution: After the event concludes, the correct outcome is verified (often via decentralized oracles) and winners are paid.

This means that the user is not just placing a fixed-odds bet — they are participating in a market that aggregates collective beliefs about future events. Polymarket markets cover a wide range of topics, such as:

• - Politics and elections.

• - Economic indicators and macro outcomes.

• - Sports and entertainment events.

• - Weather, culture, tech milestones, and more.
