Welcome to Myriad: Your Essential Guide to Getting Started – Decrypt

Myriad is a prediction market created by Dastan, the parent company of Decrypt. It allows users to forecast outcomes in areas such as cryptocurrency, politics, and sports.

What sets Myriad apart is how it blends prediction markets with editorial and video content from outlets like Decrypt and Rug Radio—creating fresh ways for readers to engage and unlocking new revenue streams for publishers.

Here’s a breakdown of how it works and how you can begin using it.

What are Myriad prediction markets?

At the core of Myriad are its on-chain prediction markets, which let users place bets on real-world events. These events span a wide range of topics, from sports and cryptocurrency to gaming and politics.

As more participants join a prediction market, the odds adjust in real time, reflecting the community’s collective view on which outcome is most likely.

Myriad’s prediction markets consist of “shares” priced between 0 and 1 point, where the price corresponds to the percentage likelihood of that outcome occurring. For example, if a share for outcome A is priced at 0.53 points, the market estimates a 53% probability of outcome A happening.

Once the market resolves, shares for the winning outcome are worth 1 point each. This means that the less likely an event seems, the cheaper it is to bet on—and the more likely it appears, the more expensive the shares become.

Types of Myriad prediction markets

• 📖 Central Limit Order Book (CLOB): In Order Book markets, liquidity comes from traders who place limit orders. A CLOB matches buy and sell orders based on price and time priority, allowing users to trade directly with one another without an intermediary. Myriad’s CLOB supports a variety of features, including slippage controls, limit orders, dynamic fees, and comprehensive market data for users.
• 🤖 Automated Market Maker (AMM): An AMM offers a more linear liquidity curve, resulting in more predictable pricing for traders. Prices update automatically and dynamically as trades occur, and the combined prices of all outcomes always add up to $1. Market fees range from 0% to 2% on buy transactions, and the myriad.markets platform charges a small fee of $0.0085 per transaction to cover blockchain gas costs.
