Building systems
where the truth wins

A Prediction Markets protocol helping steer humanity
towards truth and progress

Our Philosophy

At Zeitgeist, we believe truth is the ally of progress

In a world overloaded with data, discerning the truth is a challenge. Every bit of information carries the bias of its creator, but how do we cut through the noise and focus on facts?

Enter the power of prediction markets. Here at Zeitgeist, we harness collective wisdom, proving time and again that crowds outsmart the individual. Participants in our markets bet on outcomes, not preferences, stripping away bias and revealing truths.

We pioneer with a governance model called futarchy, where bets dictate actions. Unlike conventional systems where votes may not translate into real-world effects, futarchy aligns successful predictions with actionable decisions—ensuring biases don't skew outcomes.

At Zeitgeist, everyone has a stake, not only in predicting outcomes but in forging a fairer, more just society. Join us, and be part of building a future grounded in truth.

Technology

Built on
Substrate

Zeitgeist is built using the Substrate blockchain framework, the same infrastructure used to build the Polkadot and Kusama networks.
Permissionless
Decentralization

Decentralization is a core value to us. No single entity controls our network, and its distributed governance mechanisms ensure it stays that way.
Scalable SDK
Tech

Our Layer 1 protocol is designed and optimized to be used as an SDK for anyone looking to implement their own prediction market technology. Learn more.
The Quest
For Truth

We’re building Zeitgeist because we believe in the progress of civilization… with truth being a core ally of this progress. Prediction markets aid our quest for truth by reliably providing accurate forecast data.

Innovations

Always Liquid

We have dedicated to building a prediction markets platform that is always liquid, meaning that no matter what market gets created, there will be enough volume for traders to engage.
Futarchy

We are the first parachain project in the Substrate ecosystem to introduce the Futarchy form of governance. We believe we may even be the first blockchain project to introduce Futarchy.
SDK

As mentioned above, our Software Development Kit means that any project or company can introduce prediction markets or futarchy into their own ecosystem. Start building.

Applications

Sports and eSports

Competitive gaming (real world or digital) is one of the most utilized applications for Prediction Markets. Fans love to trade positions in real time as part of the excitement of live sport.
Politics

Prediction markets for politics are a fantastic mechanism for aggregating information about political races. They also allow users to hedge against possible outcomes.
Cryptocurrency

The prices of cryptocurrency are notoriously volatile. Zeitgeist allows traders to predict upcoming price and market milestones.
Insurance

Markets for various events can act as decentralized insurance by hedging outcomes.
Startups

It's difficult to predict whether a particular startup may succeed. Prediction markets can help by allowing traders to take positions on the success or failure of these new companies.
Futarchy

Essentially, organizations can run their entire decision-making process based on the data provided by prediction markets.
