Documenting my ARC w/ @launcherkey .. Sub @macofweb3 | https://t.co/RmDNQeZdxj

just registered @uselotusai We are building a risk aware execution + liquidity layer for on-chain prediction markets. This would be our first hackathon, although im extremely confident lotus would already be a major player before the end of the event. More updates soon.

unpopular Opinion : I see alot of people solving the pain-points in Prediction markets by creating more markets. We need better infrastructure , better mechanics , better ways for to help users to make the most of it Not more UI , not more markets , just better infra.

the hyperliquid playbook, mapped to prediction markets: 1. build the best infrastructure first hyperliquid built a custom L1 with sub-second finality and a full onchain order book it wasn't just another perp dex, it was structurally better than everything else. the pm equivalent: build a matching engine and resolution system that's genuinely faster, cheaper, and more reliable than polymarket or kalshi. 2. be first to list, always hyperliquid listed every trending token before anyone else. when a token was pumping on ct, hyperliquid already had the perp live. traders went there because that's where the market existed when they needed it. the pm equivalent: when news breaks, your market should be live within minutes, not days. 3. no vc, return everything to users users own the platform. the pm equivalent: don't build for investors, build for traders return fees to the community through rewards, accuracy-based incentives, or direct revenue share the platforms that optimize for investor returns lose to the ones that optimize for trader retention. 4. protocol-owned liquidity solves cold start (only if you have the capital) hyperliquid built HLP, a protocol-owned vault that actively market makes across every perp. it handled 40% of volume and offered 17% APY to depositors with no reliance on external market makers. the pm equivalent: build a protocol-owned liquidity vault that seeds every new market automatically. when a market goes live on a breaking story, the vault provides initial depth. users arrive to a market that already has liquidity instead of an empty order book. 5. composability attracts builders hyperliquid launched HyperEVM and gave developers direct access to the trading layer through precompiles. hundreds of teams started building on top. the ecosystem created its own gravity. the pm equivalent: open apis, public data feeds, embeddable markets, developer tools. let anyone build a terminal, a news app, an alert system, a bot on top of your markets. polymarket understood this and they became the backend for metamask, trust wallet, jupiter. 6. community-first distribution hyperliquid grew from 300k to 1.4m users in 2025 with zero paid marketing. dozens of regional communities, hundreds of teams building, grassroots adoption fueled by aligned incentives. the pm equivalent: let your best predictors become your growth engine. every correct prediction is a distribution event and every top predictor with a following is an unpaid ambassador. 7. fee structure as a competitive weapon hyperliquid's fee-to-buyback loop created a virtuous cycle with more volume, more fees, more buybacks, higher token price, more users. the pm equivalent: dynamic fees that reward makers and scale with uncertainty. return fees to the community or use them to deepen liquidity.




URL : airportfits.com I am not here to challenge you as a dev or undermine your role. I am here to appreciate what AI can do and the future of internet and computer powered by AI. I am going to be building this business publicly as you all seem overly interested. The initial idea lift off was done 100% by AI. Definitely a human intervention will be needed in my second phase and I welcome all your criticisms and opinions and vulnerability tests. At the end of the day, don’t ship your opinions. Ship a real product. Cheers 🥂
