Custody ≠ privacy. We built a ~$10 hardware wallet (STM32 + ATECC608A) and mapped where a signed tx still leaks after the key never leaves the chip.

Prediction markets tell you what a crowd believes. They don't tell you how hard anyone believes it — a confident bet and a nervous one look identical on the price.

@geeky_kartikey@monad@monad_dev Every switch, timestamp and payout is on-chain, on Monad testnet. A 100-second game ending in a last-second stampede needs sub-second blocks — on a 12-second chain, "switched at second 50" and "switched at second 95" land in the same block and the timing mechanic stops existing.
@geeky_kartikey@monad@monad_dev What it actually produces: a normal vote tells you a group picked A. This tells you they picked A, committed at second 12, and never flinched — or that 40% of them jumped in at second 99. Same winner, completely different confidence. That's the signal a poll throws away.
@geeky_kartikey@monad@monad_dev Herding isn't discouraged by a rule. It's punished by arithmetic. Which means the only way to win big is to put your phone down and convince the people standing next to you.
@geeky_kartikey@monad@monad_dev When 60 people panic and pile onto the leader, they split it 60 ways. Most walk away down.
If 10 people quietly coordinate behind an underdog and land the upset, those 10 split the same pot of 100k monads .
@geeky_kartikey@monad@monad_dev How it plays:
→ 100 players, 100 seconds, everyone stakes 1,000 monads.
→ You're randomly assigned a team — you didn't pick it
→ You can switch, but every switch increases your chances of booking a net loss .
The catch: the pot is fixed.
@geeky_kartikey@monad@monad_dev Investing rewards conviction and entering early . Trading rewards speed.
What if you had 100 seconds to do both?
So at Monad Blitz New Delhi V4 we built Sponsio : a market that measures conviction, not just opinion.
