Veyra is a decentralized prediction market platform built on the Solana blockchain. It enables users to trade shares representing the outcome of real-world events, effectively creating a market-based forecasting system.
The Power of Prediction Markets
Prediction markets leverage the "wisdom of the crowd" to forecast future events. By allowing people to put their money where their beliefs are, these markets often prove more accurate than traditional polls or expert predictions.

How Prediction Markets Work
1. Market Creation
A market is created with:
Question: Clear, unambiguous event
Outcomes: Possible results (Yes/No or multiple options)
End Date: When the event will be resolved
Resolution Source: How outcome will be determined
2. Trading Phase
Users trade shares:
Buy shares if you think an outcome will happen
Sell shares if you think it won't
Prices reflect probability (0.01 to 0.99)
Market moves based on supply/demand
3. Resolution
When event concludes:
Market is resolved based on real-world outcome
Winning shares worth $1.00
Losing shares worth $0.00
Automatic payout to winners
4. Profit Calculation
Example Trade:
Key Concepts
Market Price = Implied Probability
If a market trades at $0.70:
Market believes 70% chance of YES
Market believes 30% chance of NO
Arbitrage Opportunities
Prices must add up to ~$1.00:
YES at $0.60 + NO at $0.40 = $1.00 ✅
YES at $0.60 + NO at $0.50 = $1.10 ❌ (Arbitrage opportunity)
