Prediction markets

Prediction market — A platform where users buy and sell shares whose value depends on the outcome of a future event. Prices reflect the market’s estimate of how likely each outcome is. YES / NO shares — For binary outcomes (e.g. “Will X happen?”), YES shares pay out if the event occurs, NO shares if it doesn’t. Each share resolves to $1 for the winning side and $0 for the losing side. Resolution — The process of deciding how a market settles after the event. Once resolved, winning shares can be redeemed and losing shares become worthless. Expiry date — The time when a market closes and resolves. After expiry, no new trades are allowed. Multi-outcome market — A market with more than two possible outcomes (e.g. “Which candidate will win?”). Each outcome has its own shares; only the correct outcome pays out. Bond market — A market where one outcome is priced near certainty (e.g. NO at $0.98). Users may buy the “safe” side for a small yield instead of pure speculation.

Creator-led markets

Creator market — A prediction event created and run by a creator (influencer) for their audience. The creator sets the topic, rules, and timing. Creator-led — Markets that are launched, promoted, and controlled by creators, not by the platform alone. Maybee’s markets are creator-led. Audience challenge — A prediction event where the creator’s audience competes against each other or against the creator. Branded prediction event — A market tied to a creator’s brand, community, or campaign. Often custom topics and formats.

Social & reputation

Battle — A structured competition where users (or creators vs audience) predict the same event and compare results. Winners are ranked publicly. Reputation — A user’s or creator’s visible record of forecasting accuracy. Built over time and shown in leaderboards. Leaderboard — A ranked list of users or creators by forecasting performance (e.g. accuracy, profit, streaks). Performance — How well someone predicts outcomes. Measured by accuracy, PnL, and other metrics, and used for reputation.
