Introducing Conviction
Conviction is an on-chain prediction market where you can bet on the outcomes of future events. For a question like "Will BTC break $100,000 by December 31?", you buy and sell YES or NO. When a market ends, the side matching the correct answer settles at 1 USDT per share, and the other side goes to 0.
A price is simply the probability the market estimates. A price of 0.65 means "the market sees a 65% chance of this happening". You make money by buying low and selling high, or by redeeming once your outcome is correct.
#What you can do
- Browse markets, trade, and redeem. Sign in with an email/social account or an external wallet, and buy and sell outcomes with USDT.
- Move funds from other chains. Funds sent from Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, and more arrive automatically as BSC USDT. There's no need for a separate, complicated bridge app.
- Gas-free trading. You don't need to hold a gas coin like BNB. Conviction covers the network fees for you.
#How it works at a glance
