Core concepts

Prediction markets resolve real-world questions into prices. These are the building blocks SatoriEx uses to do that consistently.

Mental model

Treat each market as a question, each outcome as a possible answer, and each price as the crowd's estimated probability of that answer being correct.

A working mental model

Three nouns carry most of the platform. Hold these in mind as you read the rest of the docs.

An event is the real-world thing you want to predict.
A market is one specific tradable question about that event.
An outcome is one of the possible answers to a market — exactly one resolves true.

How real-world questions become tradable markets, and why one event can host many of them.

Why outcome prices live between 0 and 1, and how payouts work in dollar terms.

From halt to settlement: the multi-stage process that turns a real outcome into a payout.

Taker fees, maker rebates, and the other fees you pay (or earn) across the platform.
