#### Sentiment <a href="#sentiment" id="sentiment"></a>

Sentiment is a **prediction market** where participants trade on the **likelihood of real-world outcomes**.

Each market represents a **specific event**. Traders take a position by buying **YES** or **NO** contracts. When the event resolves, the **winning side settles at full value**, while the **losing side settles at zero**.

Prices represent **probability**. They move dynamically **only as a result of user trading activity**, reflecting collective market expectations rather than external price feeds, indexes, or automated adjustments.

Sentiment is designed to be **simple, transparent, and fast**. All markets operate **fully on-chain**, with **open pricing** and **verifiable settlement**.

***

#### Purpose of Sentiment <a href="#purpose-of-sentiment" id="purpose-of-sentiment"></a>

Sentiment provides access to a **different market dimension**: expectations and crowd psychology.

Instead of trading price movement, participants trade **probabilities**.

Sentiment enables users to:

* speculate on **crypto market outcomes**
* trade **macro and economic events**
* take positions on **sports results**
* react to **political decisions and global news**
* participate in **hype cycles and cultural trends**
* trade **region-specific and non-standard events**
* hedge **uncertainty independently of price direction**
* profit from **changes in perceived probability**

***

#### How It Works <a href="#how-it-works" id="how-it-works"></a>

Each market consists of **two possible outcomes**:

* **YES**
* **NO**

The price of each outcome reflects the probability assigned by the market **through user activity**.

A participant buys contracts at the **current market price**:

* if the selected outcome resolves as true, **each contract settles at 1 dollar**
* if it resolves as false, **each contract settles at zero**

***

#### Trading Flow <a href="#trading-flow" id="trading-flow"></a>

**1. Selecting a Market**

Each market card includes:

* **event title**
* **current YES and NO probabilities**
* **time remaining until resolution**
* **trading volume**
* **recent probability movement**

**2. Opening a Position**

The participant selects **YES or NO** and enters an amount. The system calculates the **number of contracts acquired**.

**3. Closing Before Resolution**

Positions can be **closed prior to event resolution** to **realize profit** or **limit losses** if sentiment shifts.

***

#### What Moves Sentiment Price <a href="#what-moves-sentiment-price" id="what-moves-sentiment-price"></a>

Sentiment prices are driven **exclusively by user actions**.

Prices change **only when participants buy or sell YES or NO contracts**. Information influences **how users act**, but does not move prices directly.

***

#### Market Tools Inside Sentiment <a href="#market-tools-inside-sentiment" id="market-tools-inside-sentiment"></a>

Sentiment provides **real-time visibility** into market dynamics:

* **live probability changes**
* **trading volume dynamics**
* **sentiment evolution over time**

***

#### Settlement <a href="#settlement" id="settlement"></a>

When an event concludes and the outcome is verified:

* the market resolves **deterministically**
* **winning positions settle at full value**
* **losing positions settle at zero**
* **funds are credited immediately**

Settlement is **transparent and trust-minimized**.

***

#### Best Use Cases <a href="#best-use-cases" id="best-use-cases"></a>

Sentiment is effective for:

* trading **uncertainty rather than price action**
* **hedging** volatile market conditions
* **contrarian strategies** against crowd behavior
* **early positioning** before information is priced in

***

#### Summary <a href="#summary" id="summary"></a>

Sentiment enables **probability-based trading** on real-world outcomes, where market prices reflect **collective belief expressed through user activity**.
