TBD Predict operates a real‑time prediction market where fans of sports and other interests can place monetary bets on poll outcomes, such as game results or award winners. Participants join themed groups (e.g., soccer‑fans, mma‑fans, nba‑fans), submit votes that are locked until the poll closes, and receive payouts based on the final result and the total volume staked. The platform monetizes by taking a commission on the pooled funds and charging transaction fees.

Problem
Enthusiasts of sports, entertainment, crypto, and current events often lack a simple, community‑driven way to place monetary wagers on opinion polls while keeping outcomes confidential until the poll closes. Existing platforms either focus on pure prediction markets without social context or on casual polls without financial stakes, limiting engagement for users who want both interaction and risk‑based incentives.
Solution
TBD Predict offers a web‑based polling service that lets any user launch a topic‑specific poll and attach a wagering pool funded through Solana‑compatible wallets. Participants place bets on predefined answer options, with odds displayed as multipliers that update in real time as the pool grows. All votes remain hidden until the poll’s expiration, at which point the smart contract automatically distributes winnings to the correct bettors and retains a predefined commission for the platform. The system supports global participation, age verification, and optional risk‑free bet credits for new users, creating a seamless blend of social polling and decentralized betting. Results and payout data are recorded on‑chain, ensuring transparency and tamper‑resistance while the front‑end provides a clean, mobile‑first UI for poll creation and voting.
Target Audience
The primary users are community members and fans of niche interest groups—such as sports, esports, cryptocurrency, and pop culture—who seek interactive, wager‑based polling experiences, as well as creators who want to monetize engagement within their audiences.
