What is Context?

Context is a prediction market platform where you can trade on the outcomes of real-world events. Whether it’s politics, sports, crypto, or current events - if there’s an outcome to predict, you can trade on it.

How it works

On Context, every question becomes a market. Each market has outcome tokens (like “Yes” and “No”) that you can buy and sell. The price of each token reflects what the market thinks the probability of that outcome is.

Buy Yes at 40 cents

You think an event is more likely than 40%. If you’re right and it happens, your shares are worth $1 each.

Buy No at 60 cents

You think an event is less likely than 40%. If you’re right and it doesn’t happen, your No shares are worth $1 each.

Example

Let’s say there’s a market: “Will Bitcoin hit $100k by March 2025?”
  • Yes is trading at 45 cents
  • No is trading at 55 cents
If you believe Bitcoin will hit $100k, you can buy Yes shares for 45 cents each. If Bitcoin does reach $100k before March 2025:
  • Your Yes shares are worth $1 each
  • You profit 55 cents per share (minus fees)
If Bitcoin doesn’t reach $100k, your Yes shares expire worthless, and No holders collect $1 per share.

What makes Context different

AI-powered resolution

Markets resolve automatically using our AI Oracle. When a market’s end time arrives, AI agents verify the outcome against trusted sources. No waiting for manual review - most markets resolve within minutes.

True orderbook trading

Unlike other prediction markets that use automated market makers (AMMs), Context uses a central limit order book. This means:
  • Better prices - Trade at the exact price you want with limit orders
  • Tighter spreads - More efficient price discovery
  • No slippage surprises - Know exactly what you’ll pay before you trade

Built on Base

Context runs on Base, an Ethereum L2. This gives you:
  • No gas fees - We cover all gas costs so you never pay for transactions
  • Fast settlement - Trades confirm in seconds
  • Real ownership - Your positions are onchain, in your wallet
