@cz_binance Superb collab CZ!

Now let's BUIDL

https://t.co/8zLTelZDa2

[vibe/vibe @vibevibefun]

The Lounge is back tomorrow for an in-depth conversation about building in public!

@meta_alchemist will be joined by @sharbel and @jesusislord to hear the best advice, insights and reflections from key builders shaping the Web3 space

October 15 | 2pm – 3pm UTC
Live on X

80+ project submissions so far on Seedify Prediction Markets Hackathon powered by @BNBCHAIN

You can still apply!

Tomorrow, we will be dropping more updates!

[Meta Alchemist @meta_alchemist]

Today Amazon AWS Vibe Coding Hackathon is starting.

We are the only launchpad and a technology & blockchain partner in it!

As Seedify we'll continue to support hackathons / builders:

To help them raise & launch at our new permissionless launchpad made for utility tokens & ICM.

[Meta Alchemist @meta_alchemist]

Should every community member become the jury in the Seedify Prediction Markets Hackathon?

Or should it be builders and creators who can judge a gud project?

Or should it be a system of a mix of both?

The Lounge #08 - Building in Public with Sharbel and Chev https://t.co/NtZhBwjQf7

[Meta Alchemist @meta_alchemist]

We will start to vibe code the Prediction Market Hackathon website today on stream, including voting, Predictions, and Futarchy:

So that the people who vote on their winners can get WL lists on the bonding curve for them and buy the tokens cheaper when they raise from Seedify.

It will be the first hackathon like this where prediction markets will be ingrained in the system, with an incentive mechanism for people to make the right decisions.

The idea of Futarchy came from @0xTone, so shoutout to him!

[vibe/vibe @vibevibefun]

Last Friday at Vibe Connect NYC with the teams from Lovable (one of the top vibe coding apps with 2M+ users and 180k+ subscribers) and Emergent (Y Combinator-backed vibe coding platform) was incredible

Over 50 builders joined us to explore AI-driven development, ICM strategies and the funding opportunities it offers for teams and projects. We also started some great post-event conversations

We’ll keep showing up where talent is, creating key collaborations that strengthen the builder ecosystem and bring new innovators into Web3 through Internet Capital Markets

The $SFUND engine is just getting started, fueling the next wave of onchain creativity ⚡

[vibe/vibe @vibevibefun]

We’re delivering as promised!

The new $SFUND token has officially passed three major audits:

✅ CertiK
✅ Hacken
✅ Zokyo

Triple-Audited. Verified.

The foundation for a new chapter of safer and permissionless growth

[vibe/vibe @vibevibefun]

CEX trading for the new $SFUND goes live tomorrow!

→ 9 AM UTC on @htx_global & @Bybit_Official
→ 10 AM UTC on @kucoincom

Balances will be converted 1:1 to the new token

We’ll share more updates as more CEXs confirm

Please check their official announcements for details

[vibe/vibe @vibevibefun]

Dear algorithm,

Please show this post to builders, creators, and innovators ready to ignite the new era of ICM and utility permissionless launches together on BNB Chain

Thank you

[Meta Alchemist @meta_alchemist]

@cz_binance We have a prediction markets hackathon starting soon powered by @BNBCHAIN and many other key names

We can add this prediction market specific oracle, as CZ's choice into the hackathon as a leg if you like CZ

Starting the hackathon next week

Remember:

• Balances convert 1:1 to the new token
• Always check official announcements for full details

[Meta Alchemist @meta_alchemist]

This has been a very informative post, about what kind of projects you guys are looking for that can disrupt the prediction market space

We are starting a Prediction Markets Hackathon next week, powered by @BNBCHAIN

Wondering if we can do a collaboration with YZi Labs too, so if one of the projects build something close to the examples you described here, they may get a chance an entry to YZi Labs too

We have many other big supporters that will be supporting the projects to gain more leverage during the hackathon, just wanted to write here too, since we may be able to help bring some projects to YZi

Here is BNBchain's post too about our hackathon:

About prediction market, I shared some thoughts at yesterday's Columbia University blockchain class. Would love to share here:

Prediction is human nature. It’s one of the oldest and most universal cognitive behaviors we have. Life is uncertain — and from the very beginning, humans have sought to know the future. Prediction isn’t new. It’s everywhere, every day.

- Ancient times: people predicted where to hunt — for survival.
- Astrology in Babylon and India: the first systematic prediction framework, observing patterns in the stars.
- Societies: forecasting outcomes of wars, harvests, and births to plan better.
- Dating: predicting future happiness with a significant other.
- Parenting: predicting our children’s needs and reactions.
- Weather: scientific prediction powered by data and models.
- Stock markets: collective forecasting of companies’ performance.
- Insurance: prediction of risk and loss probabilities.
- Even AI models: at their core, they predict the next token, pixel, or action.

Building a product based on human nature, first principle thinking. The opportunity is massive.

But what’s left to build?

With strong incumbents like Polymarket, is there still room for innovation?Absolutely. The space still has clear gaps — and therefore, opportunities:

- UMA’s Optimistic Oracle (OO), which Polymarket depends on, is decentralized and transparent but slow (24–48h resolution). Opportunity: domain-specific or AI-assisted oracles for faster, contextual resolution.

- UMA OO can be vulnerable in low-liquidity, low-attention markets. Opportunity: build cross-protocol incentive layers to reward honest disputes, or autonomous dispute-bot networks to detect manipulation.

- Prediction markets still feel like DeFi dApps: complex wallets, bridging, and gas. Opportunity: leverage account abstraction and gasless UX to make prediction markets feel like normal apps.

- Polymarket covers only well-defined, publicly verifiable events. Opportunity: solve for subjective or multi-stage predictions

- Liquidity is spread across many small markets. Opportunity: aggregators, routing layers, or AMM-style liquidity pools to concentrate and reuse capital efficiently.

We also learned a lot from the founders we talked to, we ask why and how, and learn their brilliant mind, vision and values (the beauty of our job ^_^).

Here's one:
"TikTok is becoming the next universal prediction market. In some way, every scroll, every like, every share — is a bet on what others will find valuable next. That’s how big the opportunity really is and why we decided to work on this."

And another one:
"The beauty of prediction markets lies in their duality — they are living content and precise market instruments at the same time. It’s rarely a single clever mechanism or a viral go-to-market that determines success. Instead, it’s about continuously orchestrating the organic (human behavior, narratives, attention) and the inorganic (protocol design, incentives, liquidity) parts of a complex system. To sustain that orchestration over time, a team needs more than technical skill — it needs a refined taste for complexity."

With the respect of Polymarket's founder Shayne Coplan, who was inspired by economic theories around information aggregation, decentralized systems, and especially the concept of futarchy (Robin Hanson). We also see the Big Picture -
The "next Polymarket" could be emerge by abstracting crypto complexity, expanding byond binary bets, and owning its data + oracle layer - becoming a prediction infrastructure stack rather than just a betting site.

Thank you so much for your reply!

We will then open these innovation areas specifically for what you guys are looking at YZi, informing the participants about it that way

Hope we can bring out some amazing projects that you guys will love to back at YZi

If there is any other specific things we should add please lmk! Thanks once again 🫶

[Ella Zhang @ellazhang516]

@meta_alchemist @BNBCHAIN Sure! @yzilabs team works hand in hand with @BNBCHAIN team to support builders.

Who believes in big comeback stories here?

We go first: 🙋‍♂️

[Meta Alchemist @meta_alchemist]

Hi @cz_binance a few hours ago our bridge/oft contract got hacked, and hackers transferred minted tokens onto many chains, including BNB, where they sold most of the $SFUND tokens.

Currently they hold more than $1.2M in BNBchain:
0x14181636dd5BC8C6b8b47F8D0fd1b1e351B84bE4

A lot of people in BNBchain got affected by this (64k people), as this is where our biggest holder base is.

We have contacted many chains, exchanges, layerzero, and identified the hacker group, before they can get the funds out of blockchain, can you help us?

It would mean a lot to our community and us, thank you🙏
