What is PreMarket.trade?
PreMarket.trade is an on-chain prediction trading platform built on EVM-compatible networks. Users can trade market outcomes directly from their own wallets without depositing funds into a centralized account. On the platform, each topic is split into two tradable sides:- YES
- NO
Fully On-Chain
Trading, liquidity, settlement, and resolution run through smart contracts. Funds stay in your wallet until you trade.
AMM Pools
Trade directly against protocol liquidity — no need to wait for a counterparty on the other side.
Creator Markets
Anyone can launch a topic by providing initial liquidity and earn trading commissions.
Community Security
Disputed results can be challenged and settled through DAO voting with PMT staking.
Core Features
1. Fully On-Chain Trading
All trading, liquidity, settlement, and result-related actions are executed through smart contracts.- Users connect a Web3 wallet directly
- Funds remain on-chain
- Profits are paid directly to the user’s wallet
2. No Opposite Counterparty Needed
PreMarket.trade uses an AMM (Automated Market Maker) model. This means:- Users do not need to wait for another trader to take the opposite side
- Trades are executed directly against liquidity pools
- YES and NO positions remain continuously tradable before the market closes
3. Topic Creator Liquidity Model
Each market is created by a Topic Creator, who provides the initial liquidity. For each topic:- A YES pool and a NO pool are created
- The creator provides real liquidity to one side
- The protocol creates mirrored virtual liquidity for the opposite side to ensure two-way trading
4. Dynamic Market Pricing
Prices change automatically according to pool activity. When users buy:- USDC in the pool increases
- Available outcome tokens decrease
- Price rises
- USDC in the pool decreases
- Available outcome tokens increase
- Price falls
How Trading Works
Buy Low, Sell High
Users can trade outcome tokens before the market closes. Typical short-term strategy:- Buy YES or NO when the implied probability is low
- Sell later if market sentiment moves in your favor
Hold Until Settlement
Users can also hold tokens until the final result is confirmed. After settlement:- The losing side loses its pool value
- The winning side shares the combined pool proportionally
Resolution & Challenge System
Creator Resolution
After trading ends, the Topic Creator submits the market result within the resolution window.
Community Challenge
If traders believe the result is wrong, eligible participants can challenge during the challenge period.
