Introducing Atomic Prediction Markets: Step-by-Step Guide

We are excited to officially announce Atomic Prediction Markets, a native integration with Polymarket, the world’s leading decentralized prediction platform.

The Web3 landscape is evolving. It is no longer just about holding assets; it is about engaging with information. With this update, Atomic Wallet users can now access deep global liquidity on real-world events directly through the app interface. We have streamlined the experience to remove the need for external dApp browsers, wallet connections, or complex setups.

Whether you are tracking the cryptocurrency market cap prediction, sports outcomes, or political cycles, you can now trade on your insights with the same security and self-custody you expect from Atomic Wallet.

What is a Prediction Market?

A prediction market is a financial exchange where participants trade on the outcome of future events. Unlike traditional polls or pundit opinions, which can be biased or consequence-free, prediction markets rely on capital-backed forecasting.

The core concept is simple: market prices represent the collective probability of an event occurring. If a share for a specific outcome trades at $0.60, the market is assigning a 60% probability to that event happening. This creates a real-time, data-driven forecast generated by the "wisdom of the crowd."

Atomic Predictions: The Secure & Native Way to Trade

One of the biggest friction points in DeFi is the connectivity layer. Users often have to navigate to third-party websites, approve permissions, and expose themselves to potential phishing links.

Atomic Predictions solves this by bringing the market inside the wallet.

• Zero-Connect Experience: No need to "Connect Wallet" to a website. The interface is native.
• Enhanced Security: You sign transactions within the secure environment of Atomic Wallet. Your private keys remain encrypted on your device.
• Seamless Settlement: All trades settle in USDC.e (POL) directly to your balance, making it easy to manage your portfolio alongside your predictions.
