Unlike most prediction markets that feel “DeFi-native” and targeting advanced traders, 0Y is built for everyday users and traders who want simple choices, instant execution, and transparent settlement. We’re live on BNB Chain Mainnet, with more chain integrations coming soon. ### 0Y is focused on emerging markets; Asia and SEA 0Y Markets is built with emerging markets in mind — especially Asia and Southeast Asia (SEA). That means we focus on what local traders actually care about: fast, social, simple Higher/Lower and YES/NO markets, and settlement rules that are clear and easy to trust. We also prioritise accessible payment rails and familiar stablecoins, supporting USDT, USDC and USDG deposits across multiple chains, as well as fiat deposits via Binance Connect. Most importantly, 0Y aims to offer markets that feel culturally relevant and “always fresh” for the region — from crypto short-timeframe moves to high-attention local and global events — so users can participate without needing advanced trading knowledge or complicated trading tools. *** #### Background Prediction markets work because they compress what everyone knows — news, sentiment, charts, and crowd expectations — into a single number: the odds. When incentives are real, odds update fast. Markets seek truth. {% hint style="info" %} 0Y Markets is not an orderbook exchange but using automated market maker; LMSR {% endhint %} 0Y creates the market via LMSR, which stands for Logarithmic Market Scoring Rule as pricing engine, and market (players) determines the latest prices via LMSR algorithm. **You pick UP or DOWN. You stake. The pool settles. Winners get paid.** That's it at its core. Everything else in these docs explains the mechanics so you can trade smarter. #### What 0Y is NOT * ❌ Not a P2P exchange — you don't need someone to match your trade * ❌ Not an order book — no limit orders, no fills, no slippage hunting * ❌ Not a house-vs-player — 0Y earns fees as a platform, not your losses #### What 0Y IS * ✅ A pool-based prediction market where you trade against other traders * ✅ Fast settlement driven by live oracle price feeds (Binance, Bybit, Chainlink and more) * ✅ Transparent pools — you can see exactly how much is staked UP and DOWN * ✅ Available for crypto (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB) and commodities (GOLD, OIL, CRUDE OIL) and more #### Why this is better for beginners * No orderbook confusion such as market order or limit order. * No “my order didn’t fill”. User just need to trade and the rest is automated and executed. * No advanced trading setup required. Just analyse market odds and press trade. > You will always see a payout preview before confirming. > > You can’t “post orders” like a P2P exchange because 0Y isn’t an orderbook exchange. *** ### What makes 0Y Markets different? 0Y Markets is a prediction market platform using LMSR — Logarithmic Market Scoring Rule (not peer-to-peer exchange). * ✅ Your trade fills instantly into a pool (no waiting for other users) * ✅ You see your potential payout before confirming * ✅ Clear rules and data sources for market resolution --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.0y.world/welcome-to-0y-markets.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
