Key Features
Conviction combines the power of decentralized finance with a seamless user experience. Here are the platform's core features.
#1. Smart Wallet (Account Abstraction)
Conviction gives every user a single-address smart wallet for a frictionless trading experience.
- No gas fees — All transactions are sponsored by Conviction.
- No seed phrases — Users who sign up with email or social login receive an embedded wallet automatically. No need to manage private keys.
- Seamless UX — Sign transactions with a single click. No pop-ups asking for gas approval.
Your wallet is one address that does everything — it receives deposits, places orders, and holds positions. Smart-account features (gasless, batched transactions) are enabled on that same address through EIP-7702 delegation. See User wallet for details.
#2. Gasless Trading
Every transaction on Conviction is gas-sponsored. Users never need to hold BNB or any other native token to pay for gas.
- Order placement, cancellation, redemption, splits, merges — all gasless.
- Powered by a bundler and paymaster infrastructure under the hood.
#3. Cross-Chain Deposits
Deposit funds from multiple supported blockchains directly into your Conviction account, powered by an integrated bridge service.
- Source chains: Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, and BSC.
- Send USDT (or another supported token) to the deposit address shown on screen.
- Funds arrive automatically as USDT on BSC in your wallet — no manual bridging required.
The exact tokens and minimum amounts supported per chain are shown in the deposit screen. See Cross-chain funding for details.
#4. Limit & Market Orders
Conviction features a full orderbook trading system, giving users control over execution.
- Limit Orders — Set the exact price (1¢–99¢ or 0.1¢–99.9¢) at which you want to buy or sell. Your order sits in the orderbook until another user matches it.
- Market Orders — Execute instantly at the best available prices. Configure slippage tolerance (0.5%, 1%, 2%, or 5%) to manage execution risk.
All orders are signed client-side using EIP-712 typed signatures for maximum security.
#5. Binary & Categorical Markets
Conviction supports two types of prediction markets:
- Binary Markets — Simple YES or NO outcomes. Example: "Will BTC exceed $200k in 2026?"
- Categorical Markets — Multiple possible outcomes. Example: "Which candidate will win the 2028 presidential election?" with options like Candidate A, Candidate B, Candidate C, etc.
#6. Split & Merge
Advanced share operations for sophisticated traders:
- Split — Convert USDT into equal amounts of YES + NO shares. Useful for gaining exposure to both sides of a market for hedging or arbitrage.
- Merge — Combine equal amounts of YES + NO shares back into USDT. Useful for exiting a position without selling on the orderbook.
Split and merge operations are executed at a 1:1 ratio and are fully gasless.
#7. Real-Time Updates

- Live Orderbook — Watch bids and asks update in real time.
