Lighter code reveals binary options support, hinting at prediction markets
- —The 'Binary options support' commit describes a ZK scheme for binary-outcome contracts
- —Contracts are fully collateralized in USDC, with no leverage or liquidations
- —Market settlement is 0 or the cap (usually 100), with continuous markets also possible
- —Whitelisted operators would create and settle markets, as in HIP-3
Why it matters: Lighter could enter the prediction market space, competing with Polymarket and Kalshi, but for now it is only code without official confirmation.
