BNB Chain Interview Record: Myriad - Building the Next-Generation Prediction Market
Source: Myriad
Host: BNB Chain Mandarin
Myriad: @MyriadMarkets
Q1: Could you please start by briefly introducing your project? What problem are you looking to solve?
A1: Myriad is a next-generation, content-centric prediction market. The information age demands a platform for the exchange of the world's most influential asset—'information.' As we incentivize people to participate in event contracts, the price delta between 'yes' and 'no' becomes a dynamic signal, reflecting the participants' confidence levels in the likelihood of the event occurring. Myriad leverages this signal among decision-makers, media consumers, and even content creators, enabling them to better harness the power of collective intelligence.
Q2: The concept of a 'prediction market' may be relatively new to many people; could you explain in simple terms how it operates?
A2: A prediction market is essentially a market that allows people to trade 'opinions on future events'—encompassing everything from election results, sports events, economic trends to celebrity news. Instead of relying on expert commentary or polls, prediction markets allow the public to participate in outcome predictions through 'betting,' transforming collective sentiment into quantifiable data. In such a market, each contract (or 'share') represents a possible outcome, such as 'yes, this will happen' or 'no, this will not happen,' and the price of that contract reflects the participants' confidence in the event's occurrence. With the development of news events, changes in media coverage, public discourse, and shifts in social media popularity, these prices fluctuate in real-time, dynamically capturing the evolution of public perception. Therefore, a prediction market is not just a tool for predicting events—it also serves as a mirror, reflecting how the flow of information, media influence, and public sentiment collectively shape our expectations of the future.
Q3: Why did you choose to build on the BNB Chain?
A3: Many of the main competitors in prediction markets are heavily focused on the North American market. However, we believe there is still a significant user base globally that is severely underestimated and overlooked. Myriad's core objective on BNB is to achieve 'Glocalization' and 'Focus on Growth,' particularly targeting the strongest region in BNB's community—the global Eastern market—to drive development.
Q4: Compared to traditional prediction markets, what makes your product special or innovative?
A4: Connecting content with prediction markets. Traditional media and news outlets can deliver messages, viewpoints, and narratives, but they cannot directly reflect the public's expectations or confidence in future events. Myriad integrates prediction markets into content, allowing readers to directly participate in the narrative process, transforming "passive media consumption" into "active interactive engagement."
Q5: What are "Sentiment Markets," and what problem do you hope to solve through these markets?
A5: Opinion polls were originally used to measure people's thoughts, but most of the time, they only capture what people "claim" to think. When beliefs are filtered through bias, identity politics, and the ritual of two-party systems, they ultimately become noise. When expressing opinions has no cost, opinions become cheap. Markets can address this issue. Myriad's Perpetual Sentiment Markets replace traditional surveys with a price discovery mechanism. Participants no longer just check an option but express their stance through buying or selling positions representing their beliefs, such as "fear vs. greed," "support vs. oppose a political figure," etc., and wager real money on their beliefs. The result is a continuous, self-correcting collective emotional signal. Each transaction comes with costs and consequences: bias becomes expensive, beliefs become measurable, and truth (ideally) gains liquidity. Unlike our other expiry-settled prediction markets and event contracts, these sentiment markets never settle. They continuously track the "live pulse" of public sentiment on-chain and maintain liquidity. Fluctuations in people's confidence in specific figures, tokens, or ideas can be expressed and financialized in real time.
Q6: What are Automated Candle Markets for BNB? Will we see more automated markets in the future?
A6: The core design of automated markets lies in automatic settlement, short time frames, and continuous liquidity, allowing users to engage in fast-paced prediction or trading environments without waiting for long settlement periods. The BNB automated market is just the beginning; in the near future, we will expand this fast-paced, short-term prediction market to Bitcoin and other mainstream cryptocurrencies!
Q7: Is there any upcoming event or feature that we can look forward to?
A7: Currently, we have launched an instant point reward system for USDT users on the BNB Chain and users participating in SocialFi interaction through XEET.AI. Early adopters and users of the BNB Automated Market will receive special rewards. In the future, we may also engage in larger-scale joint activities with the BNB Chain, so stay tuned and start your predictions now!
Community Q&A Session
BNB CHAIN Host: The above is the sharing prepared by our guest today! I believe everyone now has a better understanding of Myriad~ Next up is our community Q&A session.
Q1: How does Myriad utilize social media integration to amplify community momentum and drive the growth of the prediction market?
A1: Myriad is under the same parent company as Rug Radio and Decrypt Media. Rug Radio is a gathering place for many top KOLs in the crypto field, with its accounts having millions of followers on major social media platforms, enabling us to effectively bring traffic and volume to the platform. Opinion leaders with large audiences such as Farokh (who has interviewed President Trump and CZ), Mando, Tyler Did It, etc., maintain high community interest in Myriad. Decrypt Media is the most trusted news website in the crypto field, not only having a broad readership outside of X, but also widely read globally, allowing us to reach users from different backgrounds and expand into a more diverse market.
Q2: What types of prediction markets does Myriad plan to launch? Besides common cryptocurrency and political events, will AI be used to explore or establish more innovative and complex long-tail markets?
A2: The long-tail market is indeed very attractive, and we will definitely delve into this area. However, what interests us more is how to integrate "rapid format" and "more capital-efficient" markets to assist industry professionals in making wiser decisions not only in investment but also in key decisions such as insurance, market risk exposure, hedging, and more.
Q3: How does Myriad's embedded widget feature drive adoption among non-crypto native users?
A3: We choose to meet users where they are. Many are always asking "how to bring mainstream users into crypto," yet refuse to offer services in the user's existing context, instead forcing them into applications that require crypto knowledge. Myriad's embedding technology is designed to eliminate this friction— with just a few clicks, all users can easily interact and use prediction contracts.
Q4: What role does AI play in the Myriad ecosystem? Does it include emotional/social intelligence or smart content recommendation features?
A4: We are developing an AI-driven market recommendation engine designed to identify emerging narratives and predictable events. The engine integrates real-time data from our in-house media (such as Decrypt) and social platforms to actively discover high-potential niche or viral topics. We are continuously optimizing the model to more accurately understand trend propagation speed, emotional changes, and topic relevance. The ultimate goal is to have Myriad intelligently present real-time markets highly aligned with user attention trends and with high signal value. Additionally, AI also plays a key role in automating and optimizing market rule-making, ensuring clearer, more consistent result definitions and settlement processes, and reducing biases.
Q5: How does Myriad's launch on the BNB Chain— including automated markets, short settlement periods, and a localized Chinese experience— strengthen its multi-chain expansion strategy and enhance Asian users' accessibility in the global prediction market ecosystem?
A5: The prediction market is a powerful information tool, but most existing products are slow-paced, unengaging, and capital-inefficient. Myriad's launch on the BNB Chain aims to "gamify" the prediction market, significantly enhancing engagement and interactivity without compromising its academic value. We found that nearly all current leading markets focus exclusively on U.S. users, which is not only fundamentally wrong but also extremely short-sighted. Myriad's deployment on the BNB Chain is optimized to target a user base that controls key liquidity in BNB and the Asian markets. These users have high signal value and strong economic influence, needing not only a translated market interface but also prediction topics highly relevant to their interests and expertise.
Q6: Can you summarize the core mission of the Myriad Markets project in one sentence?
A6: Myriad's mission is to reshape the information economy – rewarding truth over noise, aligning incentive mechanisms around honesty and information speed, and replacing the broken ad-driven model with a new system that values accuracy, insight, and engagement.
