What does your ideal Castora pool look like?

If you could design the default Castora pools, how would you set them up?

Show us:
• The asset / market type
• How long the pool stays open
• Snapshot timing before settlement
• Why you structured the pool that way (this increases your chances of winning)

Creating a pool on Castora with those exact parameters is not compulsory, but doing so will further increase your chances.

How to submit:
• Make a post explaining your idea
• Share that post in the comments under this tweet and tag two friends
• Like and repost this tweet

Best idea wins 2,000 $MON 🏆

[MLørd @mean_lordx]

Castora is actually simple

👉You pick a market, like Sol
👉You guess the price the market will be at a certain time (snapshot time)
👉You put a small stake
👉Top 50% closest price to snapshot price wins
Easy 3x,That’s it

Weekly Update @castora_xyz

This week was all about stability, activity, and better visibility for users on mainnet.

We successfully followed up and maintained all the latest mainnet pools, ensuring they stayed active, clean, and properly settled throughout the week.

On the activity side, we recorded 10 pools created by users and fully settled, showing consistent usage and healthy prediction flow on mainnet.

We also shipped an important UX improvement: a List / Table view for prediction activities, making it easier for users to track their entries, outcomes, and overall performance at a glance.

Steady progress.
More clarity for users.
We keep building.

[Jude Jar 🔮 @JarJude]

@hyperjwu Cheers to more 🍻

[Jude Jar 🔮 @JarJude]

It has all led us to this point.
Congratulations to the entire team and community for a successful mainnet launch.

[Castora (mainnet arc) @Castora_xyz]

We started Castora as a platform for people to make straightforward predictions and have fun in the process.

It began with the simple idea of assuming that the playground is a coin toss, where heads win and tails get to pay heads. Of course, we knew we didn’t want to leave people’s fate to chance, so we came up with closest price predictions, something that doesn’t quite exist in the space yet.

Castora has always been designed to be simple and fair for whoever wants to play in today’s ultra-competitive market, and we are glad to see that the product will find the right audience on mainnet.

Once the product idea was finessed, we had to choose a home for it. It was one of the biggest decisions we’ve had to make, because we knew our overall performance was dependent on the blockchain that hosts Castora.

Two years later, over a million testnet transactions, countless feedback, and a tight-knit community, we can proudly say we made the right decision to deploy Castora on @monad.

What’s Next???

Amidst the flurry of activities, the electrifying excitement amongst the Monad community, Castora is live on Mainnet.

And yes, we heard you.

We will be rolling out some of the features you have suggested, and the biggest rollout of them all: Cas Cabal 🐷

Details will be released for each update.

The future of predictions is here, and we are here to stay.

Oink Oink ✨✨✨

My approach is a little different: make it work, make it beautiful, and refine it until every detail is functional and optimized.

[Jude Jar 🔮 @JarJude]

@Easyboy_yoo Gmonad Easyboy 🔥

[Jude Jar 🔮 @JarJude]

I actually wrote a long post to go with this but I changed my mind about explaining every little detail.

The truth is simple: the “big pot” everyone wants: growth, mindshare, users, liquidity, attention, is large enough for all of us.

The “long spoons” are our strategies. And while fighting only weakens those strategies, even eating with long spoons is possible but easier when we help each other.

Monad’s ecosystem will succeed. But the sooner we drop the internal petty fights and mature into a culture of collaboration, the faster we get there.

People underestimate the ecosystem right now, but Monad is filled with some of the smartest and most capable founders in the space. Yes, many of us are building new things for the first time, but so was Solana in its early days. And unlike Solana then, we have the advantage of a foundation willing to guide, support, and empower the entire ecosystem.

Monad launched with one of the strongest infrastructures and broadest ecosystems any L1 has ever had. Betting against Monad at this stage is simply unreasonable with everything being built around it.

For those watching from the sidelines: you’re looking at the possibility biggest thing since a while now, a performant L1 that speaks, and is spoken to, in the lingua franca of the blockchains, EVM.

To every builder and community leader: this ecosystem is our home. Focus on your strengths. If you see a grift, call it out and move on, but put more energy into highlighting the beauty, innovation, and progress happening here. There’s so much worth amplifying.

Most importantly, don’t take sides. Be mature. Be gracious.

And like the popular saying goes... with great power comes great responsibility.

If you’ve watched The Platform, you know how it goes when everyone acts only for themselves. Chaos, scarcity, and destruction. But the moment people choose restraint, cooperation, and shared purpose, everything changes.

The message is clear: when we help the ones below and trust the ones above, the system works. When we don’t, it collapses.

Going to end this here before it becomes another long post.

Let’s win together.
GMONAD 💜
