Predict+ Tokens

Tokenomics

Predict+ Tokens: Event-specific tokens utilizing Stable+ smart contract mechanics, paired with STASIS. Each prediction market has one Predict+ token — not individual outcome tokens. Tokens maintain an up-only price floor, ensuring low-risk participation independent of betting.

Transaction Fees: A 1.5% gross fee on Predict+ trades — 1% recycled into the prediction ecosystem (0.95% to the winning pot + 0.05% to the bounty pool) and 0.5% net platform fee, distributed through the standard fee waterfall: Creator (20%), Staking (16%), Reward-phase buyers (4%), Treasury (60%).

Accuracy Incentive: A portion of trading fees flows into the Trader-to-Bettor Pot — a bounty paid to winning outcome bettors. More token trading volume = bigger pot = more bettor incentive. This creates a symbiotic loop between traders and bettors.

Reward Shares: Early bonding phase participants earn proportional shares in transaction fees from token trading, perpetually.

Four Ways to Participate: Trade, Hold, Bet, or Borrow

Unlike traditional prediction markets where you can only bet on outcomes, Basis Predict+ tokens are multi-utility assets:

1. Hold for Price Appreciation (Investment Strategy)

  • Each prediction event launches its own Predict+ token (using Stable+ technology)
  • Token has a guaranteed floor price that cannot decrease (slippage retention)
  • As event gains attention and volume increases, token price rises
  • Profit from popularity WITHOUT betting on any outcome

Example: Super Bowl Predict+ token launches at $1.00. As game approaches and volume increases, token price rises to $1.50. You profit 50% just from holding, regardless of game outcome.

2. Bet on Outcomes (Prediction Strategy)

  • Betting happens through a separate USDC pool — not by selling your tokens
  • Winners split the entire losing pool — uncapped payouts (vs Polymarket's $1/share cap)
  • Share prices start equal across outcomes ($0.50 each for binary)
  • Prices adjust as shares are purchased, reflecting market sentiment

Example: You bet USDC on Team A. If Team A wins, you receive your proportional share of the entire losing pool. No cap on winnings.

3. Use as Loan Collateral (Liquidity Strategy)

  • Predict+ tokens qualify for 100% LTV loans (Stable+ backed, zero liquidation risk)
  • Take USDC loans WITHOUT selling your position
  • Keep tokens for appreciation AND use USDC for other opportunities
  • Repay loan from winnings or other sources

4. Trade the Volatility (Trading Strategy)

  • Token price increases based on event news and sentiment
  • Trade tokens on DEX like any other Basis token
  • Up-only price ensures you cannot lose below entry
  • AI agents can trade prediction tokens 24/7 based on real-time data feeds

The Complete Predict+ Token Lifecycle

Phase 1 — Launch and Bonding: Event creator pays zero fees to set up the market. Token enters optional bonding phase. Early buyers earn perpetual reward shares. Token price starts at $1.00.

Phase 2 — Trading and Appreciation: Token trades freely on DEX. Price appreciates with demand via slippage retention. Holders can take loans against tokens. Trading fees generate revenue for ecosystem.

Phase 3 — Betting Period: Users bet USDC on outcomes through the separate pool. OR continue holding/trading. OR use as collateral for loans. Multiple strategies available simultaneously.

Phase 4 — Resolution and Aftermath: Resolution system confirms outcome (Basis Managed or Creator Managed). Winners claim USDC payouts (no time limit). Post-resolution: selling burns tokens, fees inject into remaining liquidity, price goes UP. Patient holders exit at higher prices than early sellers.
