Decentralized prediction markets are rewriting how the world forecasts the future. But what if you could earn not just by trading, but by actively creating, curating, and governing the ecosystem?
Welcome to InterPredictโa decentralized, community-owned prediction marketplace built natively on the Interlink Network.
Whether you are an analytical thinker, a community builder, or a sharp market forecaster, InterPredict is designed so that everyone who adds value to the network is rewarded.
Here is exactly how you can participate and benefit from the InterPredict ecosystem:
1๏ธโฃ BECOME A MARKET MAKER (Create & Earn 1%)
Have your finger on the pulse of sports, tech, finance, or global events? You donโt have to just watch from the sidelines.
โข How it works: Propose custom prediction markets by locking a safety stake.
โข The Benefit: Once your proposal is approved by our curation committee and players start trading YES or NO shares, you automatically earn a 1% yield from the total revenue generated by your market upon settlement. You build the playground; you earn from the volume.
2๏ธโฃ JOIN THE DEC COMMITTEE (Curate & Share 2%)
Ecosystem integrity is everything. The Decentralized Curation Committee (DEC) acts as the gatekeeper, protecting the platform from spam and ensuring only high-quality, unambiguous markets are deployed.
โข How it works: Register as a DEC member by locking a temporary security validation stake of 0.1 tITL.
โข The Benefit: By reviewing, voting on, and curating community market proposals, DEC members share a dedicated 2% protocol fee pool accumulated from all settled markets on the platform. It pays to govern.
3๏ธโฃ SPAM PROTECTION & ALGORITHMIC ALIGNMENT
To keep the market registry clean and protect curators' time, InterPredict enforces strict economic alignment.
โข How it works: If a proposed market is rejected during the curation phase due to poor phrasing, bias, or spam, a 10% curation penalty (0.1 tITL) is charged from the creator's initial stake.
โข The Benefit: This penalty directly supports ecosystem security, aligning incentives so creators focus on high-quality proposals while protecting DEC members' efforts.
4๏ธโฃ PREDICT & WIN (The Active Trader)
At its core, InterPredict is a peer-to-peer arena for your insights.
โข How it works: Find markets that match your expertise, purchase YES or NO contract shares, and back your predictions with tITL.
โข The Benefit: When the market resolves, winners claim their proportional share of the entire opposing pool. Your knowledge is a valuable assetโInterPredict lets you monetize it with complete transparency, low fees, and non-custodial security.
๐ WHY INTERPREDICT MATTERS
Traditional prediction platforms are run by centralized corporations that extract massive fees and dictate which markets can exist. InterPredict hands the keys back to the community.
From creation to curation to resolution, the platform is entirely run by you.
Keep your eyes peeled - we are finalizing our launch steps on the Interlink Testnet. Get your wallets ready to propose, curate, and predict!

The future of decentralized forecasting has officially arrived on the Interlink Network. ๐ฎ
We are thrilled to announce the official release of the InterPredict Whitepaper (Version 1.0)!
As prediction markets capture global attention, legacy platforms remain bottlenecked by high multi-hop gas fees, bridge vulnerabilities, and oligarchic whale manipulation. InterPredict solves this by introducing a sovereign, peer-to-peer prediction marketplace built natively on the Interlink L1.
Whether you are a researcher, developer, market maker, or speculator, here is why InterPredict is a paradigm shift:
โก What Makes InterPredict Different?
100% Native ITL Settlement: No wrapped stablecoins, no external bridging friction, and no collateral slippage. All wagers, curation stakes, and payouts are settled natively in ITL, keeping transactions highly secure and lightning-fast.
Sybil-Resistant DEC Committee: Curation shouldn't belong only to the wealthiest wallets. By integrating directly with Interlink's sovereign Proof of Humanity (PoH) registers, our Decentralized Ecosystem Curation (DEC) Committee operates on a true, democratic one-human-one-vote basis.
Game-Theoretic Curation Incentives: To join the DEC, users stake exactly 0.10 ITL. In return, active curators programmatically claim a pro-rata share of the 2.0% platform fee generated from settled markets.
Aggressive Spam Deterrence: To protect the platform from low-quality or ambiguous listings, proposing a market requires a 1.00 ITL security stake. If the DEC committee rejects a bad-faith proposal, the contract executes an automated 10% penalty / 90% refund split, sending 0.10 ITL to the treasury and returning the rest.
Dynamic 5.0% Fee Splits: A flat 5.0% fee is deducted only from winning payouts and distributed dynamically:
Community Pools: 2.0% to DEC Curators, 2.0% to the Team, and 1.0% held in escrow as a yield reward for the market creator.
Team-Created Pools: 2.0% to DEC Curators and 3.0% to the Team Treasury.
๐ ๏ธ The BUIDL Phase is Live!
This whitepaper is not just a conceptโit is the direct technical blueprint of the live smart contracts we are deploying. Our architecture is engineered to scale, beginning with binary YES/NO markets and a secure First-Party Oracle model, paving the path toward federated multi-sig oracle consensus and scalar prediction pools in Version 2.0.
We invite the entire Web3 ecosystem to review the specifications, propose markets, join the DEC curation committee, and help us build the most transparent forecasting engine in decentralized finance.

Revenue Models and the Economic Sustainability of dApps
Decentralized applications are commonly evaluated through scalability, security, and transaction performance. However, their long-term survival depends on a more fundamental question: Can a dApp generate recurring revenue without continuously relying on token emissions?
Revenue Models
DApps typically generate income through:
- Transaction and service fees
- Subscriptions and premium access
- Marketplace commissions
- Lending interest spreads
- Performance and asset-management fees
- APIs, data services, and enterprise integrations
Diversified revenue sources can improve resilience during periods of lower market demand. However, the most suitable model depends on the dAppโs core utility. A DEX may rely on trading fees, while a lending protocol can generate income from interest spreads and liquidation fees.
Revenue vs. Token Incentives
Airdrops, liquidity mining, and token rewards can accelerate user acquisition, but they are expenses, not operating revenue.
A protocol may report high transaction volume while spending more on incentives than it retains. Therefore, analysis should distinguish between:
- Total fees paid by users
- Revenue retained by the protocol
- Rewards distributed to service providers
- Token incentives
- Value captured by token holders
This reveals whether growth comes from genuine demand or temporary subsidies. If user activity declines immediately after rewards are reduced, the protocol may have attracted incentive-driven participants rather than loyal users.
Measuring Sustainability
Relevant indicators include:
- Protocol revenue growth
- Revenue per active user
- User retention
- Customer-acquisition cost
- Incentive-to-revenue ratio
- Treasury runway
- Token-emission rate
A simple measurement is:
> Economic sustainability = Protocol revenue รท (Operating costs + Token incentive costs)
When a dApp consistently spends more than it earns, it must depend on treasury reserves, external capital, or further token issuance, potentially causing long-term dilution.
Early-stage dApps do not necessarily need to be profitable immediately. The key question is whether incentives eventually create recurring usage and whether the protocol has a realistic path toward reducing subsidies.
The Role of InterLink
A sustainable revenue model also requires dependable infrastructure. Downtime, difficult integration, and high development costs can prevent a promising dApp from achieving commercial viability.
@itl_fdn supports developers through:
- Reliable and scalable infrastructure
- Developer-friendly SDKs and APIs
- Faster, simpler integration
- Accessible technical resources
- Continuous ecosystem assistance
- 24/7 developer support
Reliable infrastructure reduces operational risk, while easier integration lowers development costs and shortens time to market. These advantages allow teams to focus more resources on product utility, user retention, and revenue generation.
Sustainable dApps align four essential elements: infrastructure, real utility, recurring revenue, and fair value distribution. Token incentives may attract early users, but long-term growth begins when users stay because the product delivers genuine value.
> Sustainable dApps convert real demand into recurring revenue and lasting ecosystem value.
