Gnosis was created to help users explore and profit when they participate in prediction markets. A prediction market utilizes user-predictions to aggregate all information about future events. In this market, users trade tokens that represent the outcome of a certain future event. Naturally, some outcomes are more likely to occur than others, the different tokens end up attracting different prices in an open market.
With time going on, the related events start unfolding. Some token outcomes may have a higher likelihood of becoming true and hence their value will increase. Once an event occurs, the tokens representing the final outcome will receive full value while the other tokens’ value is zero.
Summarily, we can say that Gnosis is designed to enable a person forecast in the virtual markets.
Among the programs users can access on the Gnosis platform include Financial Markets, Insurance, Futarchy, The Hunch Game and Price Discovery.
