Polars Roadmap 2022

The main problem for prediction markets is Low liquidity in unpopular markets.

We have a vicious circle that cannot be broken. Liquidity providers are reluctant to add liquidity to unpopular events due to low user activity. Users, in turn, do not want to make predictions in illiquid markets due to high risks and slippage. And so in a circle. As we can see, liquidity farming and other defi mechanics like Staking and ect do not help much.

Polars fundamentally solves the problem of low liquidity for unpopular markets.

We turned it around. In traditional models, a separate liquidity pool with a unique set of assets is created for each individual event. If the market is unpopular, we have low liquidity and low trading volume. There are more than 95% of such markets at the moment.

Polars has one liquidity pool for one polar token pair. Many events one after another, every day, consistently affect the price of polar tokens and change it. At the same time, we have constant concentrated liquidity and a constantly high trading volume due to the fact that at one point in time, within one pair of polar tokens, the interests of liquidity providers, betters, traders, arbitrageurs and POL holders intersect.

Unconventional and unique solution to this problem could make it possible for Polars to become the most liquid DeFi protocol in the prediction market space.

Polars Business Model

Its simple, like Uniswap or MDEX. Users pay the comission 0.3% for polar token swaps in the Prediction Pool. Received fees are distributed:

Prediction Pool fees:
40% — buy back POL and Burn
40% — buy back POL and distribute between advanced users
15% — Controller fee
5% — increasing the aggregate price of polar tokens

As you can see, a fairly large number of generated commissions are directed to the buyback of POL tokens from the market, which will subsequently affect the stabilization of the circulating supply
