Why Linera: microchains enable parallel execution, so markets can resolve quickly and independently, even under load. Our goal is a new category: high-frequency prediction games that settle in minutes.
All markets launch with parimutuel payouts with no market makers or liquidity seeding required. Odds adjust as pools update, and winners split the pot. All parties watch the action together.
Pick a market, predict whether the market will close higher or lower. Each round locks, resolves, then immediately reopens, so your testnet capital is back in play in real time, enabling continuous sessions. linera.io/marketsupdate
