Market Mechanics
Trading Outcome Tokens on Betify
Betify lets users trade digital outcome tokens that represent future events. Each market has a question, such as “Will Bitcoin surpass $100,000 by the end of 2025?” Tokens are priced between 0.00 and 1.00 BUSD, reflecting the market’s current probability of that outcome.
When a market resolves, tokens linked to the correct result redeem for 1.00 BUSD, while others lose value. All trades occur peer-to-peer, with prices determined by supply and demand — not by a centralized “house.”
Users can buy or sell tokens anytime before the event settles, allowing them to lock in profits or adjust their positions as sentiment changes.
Buying Tokens
When a user buys an outcome, collateral (like BNB) is deposited into the automated market maker. The system creates tokens for all outcomes, gives the chosen tokens to the buyer, and holds the rest to keep market balance.
Selling Tokens
To sell, users return their tokens to the pool. The system redeems them for collateral at the current market rate, distributing a small fee to liquidity providers.
Understanding Prices
Token prices equal probabilities. A token trading at 0.40 means a 40 percent chance of that outcome occurring. Prices move as users buy and sell, forming a real-time reflection of community belief.
