Prediction Markets Explained: Mechanism Design, Trading Logic, and On-Chain Applications

Prediction markets are rapidly emerging as one of the fastest-growing and most institutionally watched application areas in Web3. As real-world events become increasingly intertwined with on-chain assets, market participants are turning to prices to capture “probability consensus” ahead of time. This evolution positions prediction markets as a form of financial infrastructure that reflects sentiment, decision-making, and expectations about the future. This course will help you understand why prediction markets can serve as “price oracles for the real world,” why traditional polling and survey methods are losing effectiveness, and how on-chain prediction markets leverage transparent mechanisms, decentralized settlement, and real-time data flows to construct a credible probability system for future events.

MEV Ecosystem Explained: How Trading, Liquidations, and Ordering Competition Shape On-Chain Markets

The expansion of decentralized finance has turned the right to sequence transactions from a hidden variable in blockchain’s underlying mechanisms into a core force shaping market efficiency, user experience, and infrastructure evolution. This course centers around MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) to systematically analyze how the complete value chain—from transaction ordering, arbitrage, and liquidation to block construction and PBS architecture—is formed. It will help you understand why today's on-chain markets are no longer first-come-first-served, but rather a competitive environment driven by strategy, data, and sequencing engineering. Through real-world ecosystem structures and technical logic, this course will guide you through the entire process of how blockchain market behavior is being reshaped.

Gate Research: CC Surges Over 43% This Week; Ethereum Records the Highest Net Inflows | Weekly Report for Gate VIPs

BTC consolidated between $87,000 and $90,500 and gradually stabilized, but upward momentum remains limited. ETH continued its low-level recovery, slowly climbing after finding solid support around $2,900. CC surged 43.84% over the past week, standing out as the top performer. Ethereum led net inflows with nearly $200 million. This trend largely reflects defensive capital reallocation during a contraction phase. Transaction volumes on crypto payment cards continue to expand, and stablecoin payment use cases are accelerating, emerging as one of the few areas that maintain growth certainty in a cautious market environment.

Gate Research: Bitcoin Fails to Hold the $90,000 Level | RWA Sector TVL Surpasses DEX

Gate Research Daily Report: Bitcoin continues to trade within a narrow range, having faced resistance near the $90,000 level four times since mid-December. Recent price action in Ethereum suggests a clear shift toward a wait-and-see market sentiment, with bullish momentum weakening while bears have yet to take effective control. ZEROBASE surged 61.82%, mainly driven by sector rotation into privacy-focused tokens, while ZRT gained 27.80%, largely fueled by investor sentiment. The RWA sector’s TVL has surpassed that of DEXs, ranking as the fifth-largest vertical in DeFi. Bitcoin’s year-end rebound toward $90,000 has lost momentum amid insufficient demand and weakening on-chain activity. Meanwhile, as silver prices surged to record highs, trading volume in tokenized silver increased by more than 1,200%.

Glossary

apr

Annual Percentage Rate (APR) represents the yearly yield or cost as a simple interest rate, excluding the effects of compounding interest. You will commonly see the APR label on exchange savings products, DeFi lending platforms, and staking pages. Understanding APR helps you estimate returns based on the number of days held, compare different products, and determine whether compound interest or lock-up rules apply.

fomo

Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) refers to the psychological phenomenon where individuals, upon witnessing others profit or seeing a sudden surge in market trends, become anxious about being left behind and rush to participate. This behavior is common in crypto trading, Initial Exchange Offerings (IEOs), NFT minting, and airdrop claims. FOMO can drive up trading volume and market volatility, while also amplifying the risk of losses. Understanding and managing FOMO is essential for beginners to avoid impulsive buying during price surges and panic selling during downturns.

nft

NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are unique digital certificates recorded on the blockchain, designed to establish authenticity and ownership of digital items, in-game assets, membership privileges, or representations of real-world assets. NFTs can be bought, sold, and transferred, with all rules and transactions governed by smart contracts that execute automatically on-chain. They are commonly found on public blockchains such as Ethereum and across NFT marketplaces, serving use cases like collectibles, trading, and identity verification.

leverage

Leverage refers to the practice of using a small amount of personal capital as margin to amplify your available trading or investment funds. This allows you to take larger positions with limited initial capital. In the crypto market, leverage is commonly seen in perpetual contracts, leveraged tokens, and DeFi collateralized lending. It can enhance capital efficiency and improve hedging strategies, but also introduces risks such as forced liquidation, funding rates, and increased price volatility. Proper risk management and stop-loss mechanisms are essential when using leverage.
