Charles Hoskinson and Ding X on Predict.Fun, Privacy and Building in Public
summary
Predict.fun turns prediction positions into yield-bearing NFTs that deposit wagered funds into on-chain lending so positions earn yield immediately and can later be used as collateral for borrowing or leverage. It runs on BNB Chain and aims to draw DeFi liquidity into markets that today sit on separate platforms; PancakeSwap is cited as the precedent for large DEX liquidity. Privacy solutions like selective disclosure and ZK partners (ZKME) are proposed to prove attributes without revealing identity. The claim: financialize prediction positions and make them composable with existing DeFi.
