Trade Predictions & LP

Overview

Trading on Nostradamus is designed to be simple, instant, and powered by USDC.

Here’s the flow:

  1. Choose a Market

    • Browse live predictions like “Will Bitcoin close above $170k this month?”

    • Every market has two sides: YES and NO.

  2. Deposit USDC

    • All trading is done in USDC (on Solana).

    • This makes it easy to track values and payouts without price volatility.

  3. Buy YES or NO

    • Prices are shown as probabilities.

      • Example: YES = 60% (costs 0.60 USDC), NO = 40% (costs 0.40 USDC).

    • If you think the event will happen, buy YES.

    • If not, buy NO.

  4. Price Adjustments

    • Prices shift automatically as trades happen, powered by an AMM (Automated Market Maker).

    • The more YES is bought, the more expensive it gets, and NO gets cheaper (and vice versa).

  5. Settlement & Winnings

    • When the prediction ends, the correct side pays out 1 USDC per share.

    • Example: If you bought 10 YES shares at 0.60 USDC each, and YES wins, you get 10 USDC.

Quick Notes:

  • There are no order books for now just instant trades.

  • Every trade has a fee, depending on your VIP Tier Level

  • You can sell your position anytime before the market closes.


How Liquidity Works on Nostradamus

Prediction markets need liquidity to function smoothly — and Nostradamus ensures there’s always enough.

Here’s how:

  1. We Provide the Liquidity

    • Each new market starts with a pool of USDC that we supply.

    • This pool is divided between YES and NO from the start.

  2. Always Trade-Ready

    • You don’t need to wait for another person to take the opposite side of your trade.

    • The Automated Market Maker (AMM) adjusts prices instantly when you buy or sell.

  3. Balanced Pricing

    • The AMM ensures that when YES gets more expensive, NO gets cheaper, keeping markets fair.

    • This balance means you can always buy or sell either side.

  4. Why This Matters

    • Instant trades: no waiting for a counterparty.

    • Consistent experience: every market is live from the start.

    • Stable payouts in USDC: your winnings don’t fluctuate with crypto volatility.

In short: We fund the starting pool, you make the predictions.


The whole system is USDC-native on Solana.
