Prediction Market

The prediction market on Donald Buff's platform will function as an engaging and gamified system where users can create and participate in binary outcome events, with market dynamics driven by the collective wisdom of the crowd.

🟡 Key Mechanics of the Prediction Market:

  1. Event Creation by Users: Any user on the platform can create a prediction event. This feature empowers the community to generate content, driving engagement and diversity in the types of events available for others to participate in.

  2. Binary Outcome Structure: Each event will have two possible outcomes, such as true/false, win/lose, or victory 1/victory 2. This binary approach simplifies the decision-making process for participants, making the system intuitive and easy to navigate.

  3. Token Pools for Each Outcome: The prediction event will be represented by two token pools—one for each outcome. At the start, each token will be priced equally, for example, $0.50 for each possible outcome. Users who want to participate will buy tokens representing the outcome they believe will happen.

  4. Price Fluctuations Based on "Wisdom of the Crowd": As time progresses, the price of tokens for each outcome will shift according to market sentiment and participation. The more users bet on one side, the higher the price for that outcome's token, while the token for the less popular outcome will decrease in value. This pricing mechanism reflects the collective predictions and confidence of the crowd, creating a dynamic market for each event.

  5. Event Closure and Token Resolution: Shortly before the actual event occurs (e.g., an hour before), the prediction market will close, locking in all bets. Once the event concludes and the outcome is determined, tokens for the losing side will become worthless, while tokens for the winning outcome will increase in value (e.g., to $1). This incentivizes users to make accurate predictions and participate early when tokens are cheaper.


🟡 Predict-Creators

On the DonaldBuff platform, users have the ability to become Predict-Creators, generating their own predictions on various events. This feature opens up a creative and interactive way for participants to engage with real-world occurrences, sports matches, entertainment outcomes, or any other events they find intriguing.

Key Features of Predict-Creators:

  1. User-Generated Predictions Participants can design custom prediction events, specifying the topic, time frame, and potential outcomes. This functionality provides flexibility, allowing creators to set up predictions on everything from political results to sports, entertainment, and even niche events. The platform supports a wide range of categories, fostering a diverse environment of prediction activities.

  2. Encouraging Content Creation DonaldBuff incentivizes users to actively contribute by creating their own prediction events. Since predictions serve as valuable content for the platform, users who generate popular or high-quality predictions receive a share of the platform's commission earned from those prediction events. This model encourages creativity, frequent engagement, and the development of content that attracts more users.

  3. Revenue Sharing To motivate Predict-Creators further, DonaldBuff offers a percentage of the commission generated from users participating in their prediction events. This creates a collaborative model where content creation is not only fun and engaging but also financially rewarding. Predict-Creators can benefit from their insights, knowledge, and ability to craft compelling predictions that attract large audiences.

  4. Community Engagement and Growth By allowing users to take part in building the platform’s content, DonaldBuff fosters a sense of ownership and involvement within its community. As more users contribute, the prediction pool grows, leading to a broader array of events to bet on and increasing the overall activity on the platform. This in turn drives engagement and enhances the platform’s appeal to new and existing users alike.

  5. Platform Moderation and Quality Control While Predict-Creators have the freedom to generate their own content, the platform ensures that all predictions adhere to certain guidelines, such as fairness and clarity, to maintain the quality and integrity of the system. This ensures a balanced, fun, and transparent experience for all participants.


🟡 Participant Engagement

Other users on the platform can participate in the prediction market by placing their bets on the outcome they believe is more likely. This allows for diverse participation, as users can choose to back their predictions with tokens, watching market prices fluctuate in real-time as the event approaches.


In this system, Donald Buff's platform uses prediction markets not only as a form of entertainment and engagement but also as a way to reward creativity and market participation. By incorporating staking, betting, and market dynamics, it gamifies financial prediction in a way that aligns with the platform's ethos of interactive fun and competition.
