Traders and teams are building on powerful prediction market rails, but the infrastructure layer hasn’t kept up, and the gap is widening.
After months of conversations with traders and teams across prediction and DeFi, we’re opening the Lotus waitlist with 100 spots to the execution layer the stack has been missing.

Its been a while coming but , we at @uselotusai are currently looking for a founding engineer
Someone to work directly with me and the team and be one of the founding pillars of what we are building , while taking responsibility and have true ownership on what we are building.
if that sounds like you dm me, drop your pow in the comments, or tag someone looking for a similar role.
we did it ! almost half a year of building , multiple pivots, we came into the @colosseum hackathon with one goal to win .
we are proud to say LOTUS over the course of the hackathon , we have :
- Gained over 200 organic followers
- Gotten interest from top traders, MMs
- Had meetings with ecosystem teams
- Gained over 100+ traders organically on our waitlist
- Gained the support of @superteam@SuperteamBLKN and @solana
- Got an ecosystem grant
- And we are close to launching our private beta.
As we wait for the results , we would keep breaking milestones and make sure we expand the rails and possibilities prediction markets can open up
We appreciate the support .
Grateful to receive a grant and backing from @SuperteamBLKN.
It’s a strong signal for the direction we’re building toward in Lotus .
Execution infrastructure for prediction markets is still early.
We’re powering the rails for that layer.
We’re pleased to share that Lotus is now partnered with @trylimitless.
As part of this partnership, we’ve been given access to Limitless Partners APIs and will be supporting Limitless as a routing venue inside Lotus.
Another step toward better execution infrastructure across prediction markets.
Dmitry is right about where this goes;
prediction markets won’t just reveal judgment
capital will eventually organize around it
our view is simple:
that future gets a lot stronger once the layer underneath the trade stops being fragmented, harder to route, and harder to build on
that’s a big part of what @uselotusai is being built for
spent 11+ hours today deep in prediction market resolutions, UMAs, and venue rule differences for @uselotusai .
came away with the same conclusion:
the hardest part of prediction market infrastructure is not finding markets that look the same,
it’s knowing when they are actually safe to treat as the same market
from the outside, cross-venue prediction market infra sounds simple
- same event
- same headline
- same yes/no outcome
should be easy to connect, right?
not really
because similarity is where the trap is
a market on @Polymarket and a market on another venue can point to the same real-world event and still carry enough differences in wording, interpretation, or resolution logic to break your assumptions
and once your assumptions break, your routing breaks with it
that is how you end up with hidden risk, bad abstractions, and failing routes pushed downstream to traders
this is also why a lot of builders stay on the surface
the UI is easier
the dashboard is easier
the analytics layer is easier
the hard part is doing the slow work underneath:
reading the resolution criteria
studying how venues define outcomes
understanding when two markets are economically similar but not safely interchangeable
that is the layer we are building through at lotus
because traders should not have to manually inspect venue logic just to get better execution
builders should not have to rebuild market interpretation from scratch every time they want to integrate prediction markets
and institutions definitely will not scale into this category if the infrastructure underneath it is still fragile
most people see similar markets
we see the hidden differences that decide whether routing is safe or broken
that gap is a big part of what @uselotusai is built to solve.
unpopular Opinion :
I see alot of people solving the pain-points in Prediction markets by creating more markets.
We need better infrastructure , better mechanics , better ways for to help users to make the most of it
Not more UI , not more markets , just better infra.
If yall read chapter 16 lyrics , Kano asked Dave (so who’s gonna get this one then , whats her name ) what if , just what if he was asking who he wants to get engaged to and its TEMS !!!
