The prediction market space is dominated by centralized platforms right now. There's a different way though—building it as a DEX instead. When you cut out the middleman, transparency becomes the actual competitive edge. That's where the real differentiation lies.

Haha, yet another story of "decentralization saving the world." I just smile and say nothing. The last time, the oracle that was hyped as a bottom-fishing tool was also praised like this. And what happened? After being cut in half, we still have to continue fighting on the battlefield.

Decentralized prediction markets sound good, but how many can actually run smoothly? Most still rely on the centralized system to survive.

Centralized prediction markets are indeed monopolized by major platforms now, but as for DEX... to be honest, I have some doubts about whether it can truly take off, and what about the user experience?

DEX is the future. Centralized systems will be phased out sooner or later. Transparency is truly the key to success.

Centralized prediction markets indeed have many issues. The DEX model sounds good, but can it really master the transparency aspect? Ultimately, it still depends on liquidity and user experience.

well, *actually* if you look at the liquidity mechanics... DEX prediction markets fundamentally break under non-trivial orderbook pressure. show me the formal verification on your AMM bonding curve or it's just another rug waiting to happen
