Abstract

Prediction markets have long been hailed as the "holy grail" of information aggregation, yet they have struggled to gain mainstream adoption due to low liquidity, high latency, and poor user experience.

In order to unleash the On-chain potential of predictions markets, last decade was spent on trying to adapt Market Scoring Rules (MSRs) as Automated Market Makers (AMM). All of that AMM setup has liquidity crisis as well as bounded losses to liquidity providers. This paper introduces a new framework that addresses these inherent limitations of current prediction markets.

The key paradigm shift proposed is that belief-driven actions in the outcome by participants' trading actions should determine outcome consensus probabilities, rather than prices directly representing those probabilities.

Consensus AMM (CAMM) builds on this philosophy and enforces zero-LP-loss, bounded reward function and stable wisdom of crowd probability expectation of the outcomes ensuring robust liquidity, fair payout, and accurate collective inference in decentralized prediction environments.Foresure addresses these challenges by introducing a Hybrid Consensus Automated Market Maker (CAMM) on the Base Network.
