# Overview

## PredictEX Overview

PredictEX is the first boosted prediction market exchange for sports. Trade the outcomes of NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, EPL, and more and boost your position on every play.

Platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi built the spot market for event contracts. PredictEX is the derivatives layer. Boosted contracts give you more exposure per dollar, live in-game trading, and a professional-grade exchange experience, all settled on-chain.

Pick a team, choose your size, and boost your position. Your position updates live as odds shift with every play. All contracts settle automatically in USDC on Base.

## Built by digital asset exchange pioneers

PredictEX was incubated by Cadenza VC, the venture firm spun out of BitMEX Ventures. Our founding team includes early BitMEX employees who helped build the exchange that invented perpetual swaps and processed over $1 trillion in cumulative trading volume. At its peak, BitMEX was one of the largest digital asset derivatives exchanges in the world.

The team is applying the same playbook to sports betting: derivatives on binary outcome contracts, powered by proprietary risk management and dynamic pricing. Our cofounding engineers both hold PhDs in quantitative finance and economics, with backgrounds in risk modeling at UBS. They bring deep expertise in trading technologies, derivatives instruments, matching engines, and market making.

PredictEX is also backed by investors and an advisory group with experience spanning crypto exchanges, prediction markets, gaming, and traditional bookmaking. The team's combined experience covers every layer of the stack, from smart contract infrastructure to regulatory licensing to user acquisition.
