Pre-Market
The gamified onboarding layer that lets anyone predict for free.
What is Pre-Market?
Pre-Market is Triadmarkets's zero-risk entry point into prediction markets. It allows users to participate in markets before they officially launch — without depositing any funds.
Think of it as a training ground where your predictions are real, your positions are tracked, and your projected earnings are calculated — all before you put a single dollar at risk.
How It Works
1. Discover Markets via the Swipe Feed
Pre-Market uses a Vertical Swipe Feed — similar to Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts — to present markets to users. Each card shows a prediction question, and users simply swipe to predict YES or NO.
This UX is designed to feel native to Gen Z and Gen Alpha audiences who are already fluent in swipe-based interactions.
2. Enter Positions for Free
When you make a prediction in Pre-Market, you enter a position without any upfront cost. There is no balance required. Your position is recorded and tracked in real time.
3. See Your Projected Earnings
As the market evolves, Pre-Market calculates your Projected Earnings — the amount you would earn if your prediction is correct. This creates excitement and engagement before any money is involved.
4. Convert to a Real Position
When a Pre-Market officially launches as a live market, your position is automatically converted to an active one. At this point, you are invited to deposit funds based on your projected earnings.
Why Pre-Market Matters
| Traditional Onboarding | Pre-Market Onboarding |
|---|---|
| Requires deposit first | Zero cost to start |
| High friction (KYC, wallet setup) | Swipe-based, instant entry |
| Users must understand prediction markets | Users learn by doing |
| Drop-off at deposit stage | Conversion based on projected profit |
Key Benefits
