👋 Welcome to Prediction Markets 101: What is Polymarket?
If you’ve been hearing about "prediction markets" lately, you might be wondering what they actually are. Let's break it down simply.
At its core, Polymarket is a platform where people can trade based on the outcome of future events.
Think of it like a news feed that you can interact with. Instead of just reading about a future event (like an election, a sports game, or a pop culture moment), participants can buy shares in the outcome they believe will happen.
It is built on blockchain technology, which makes it open and decentralized. It’s a fascinating way to see what the collective "crowd" thinks is going to happen next in the real world! 🌍

Clearing the Confusion
🤔 Common Questions: Polymarket vs. Solana
We often see newcomers asking about the difference between Polymarket and Solana. It’s a great question because it highlights how different parts of the crypto ecosystem work.
Let's clarify: They aren't competitors; they are different types of tools!
🔹 Solana is a Layer 1 Blockchain (like a highway system). It’s the infrastructure that applications are built on, known for being very fast.
🔹 Polymarket is a Decentralized Application (DApp) (like a car driving on a highway).
