Onchain finance won’t win by being louder.
It’ll win by being boring in the right way.
Predictable. Automated. Composable.
Less “watch the charts”, more “let the system run”.
That’s why Concrete feels closer to finance than most DeFi apps.

Welcome to RISE Foundations
RISE Mainnet Genesis has begun
The world rewards focus and specialisation. RISE has hyper-tuned the EVM for one primary use case: trading.
RISE is symbiotic with Ethereum.
For the first time, through @risextrade, performant orderbooks will share execution and state with DeFi.
With this, RISE will generate new yield sources and atomic structured products to fuel a new kind of onchain ecosystem for DeFi builders and users.
Deployments have already begun.
Over the coming weeks, infrastructure partners and applications will deploy, test, and tune in preparation to welcome users.
Builders are welcome. To get your hands on a private RPC, please complete the form below or contact the team directly.
This is the beginning of the Home for Global Markets.
Watch it RISE.
The Incentiv Ambassador Program is now live.
Scaling a next gen L1 requires working with visionaries looking to make every action count.
Here's how it works 🧵

Concrete vaults assume one uncomfortable truth:
good intentions don’t scale.
That’s why Concrete enforces structure directly in code (explained in detail at https://t.co/jZCwjaEjk5
), instead of relying on admins to behave correctly forever.
Structure beats hope.
Concrete vaults build on this framework to deliver ctASSETs, automated rebalancing, and one-click DeFi designed for both users and institutions.

The next ByteDance is a prediction market
The media has profoundly changed. News consumption evolved from passive curation to active engagement. Today, 54% of the U.S. population accessed news via social, and AI is playing an increasing role in our daily information. LLMs paired with a powerful and pervasive “For You” pattern increases convenience, but exacerbate echo chambers: Narrower, more confirmatory, and more polarized.
In a world of infinite mirrors, markets remain the most powerful compass of consensus. An effective prediction market design focuses on matching information providers with varying degrees of knowledge at lowest possible cost. It crowdsources private knowledge and turns them into common information.
While prediction market metrics are growing at unprecedented rates, demand remains constrained and unevenly distributed. Polymarket recorded approximately 1.16 billion dollars in monthly volume in June 2025. Activity spikes clustering around elections and major events. Outside these peaks, most markets have low participation with open interest below six figures. This happens when distribution fails to reach the right long-tail audience and fails to scale.
To achieve social consensus at scale, a prediction market feed should personalize, evolve, and measure itself. Retrieval should surface questions relevant to users' identity, location, and demonstrated expertise. Ranking should prioritize expected information gain per interaction. Exploration should direct attention where uncertainty and user fit are high. Learning should happen online AND onchain. ByteDance's key lesson was precisely matching long-tail content with the right consumers.
Liquidity concentration in headline topics isn't an outcome of natural selection of market topics, but also structural. The Conditional Token Framework is clean and composable but relies on external market makers and loss-bearing liquidity providers. Unlike standardized markets such as perps or tokens, each topic needs to be modeled by subsidized market makers. This approach is expensive, explaining why liquidity bootstrapping remains challenging.
If every topic requires over a million dollars in working capital for proper probability discovery, prediction markets will remain limited to select topics, and the future of media will devolve into just another glorified sportsbook. The core mechanism needs to be liquidity-agnostic, such that a $1000 market feels as engaging and fun as a $100 million market. Without protocol-level innovation, scaling liquidity for new markets will repeatedly face the same costly issue.
We are working on all these big problems at 42. We are building a prediction‑market protocol that localizes, personalizes, and evolves. By pairing an innovative suite of liquidity‑agnostic mechanisms with identity‑aware distribution, we aim to unlock market consensus on any topic. Long-tail topics aren't niche. They're where most tacit, local knowledge resides. This is where prediction markets truly shine.
Come work with us to build the next generation of media. Break free from the world of infinite mirrors.
