Pricing mechanism
LMSR (Hanson)
Settlement
Self-resolving: Pyth (with confidence-interval gating) + Dune SQL + kolscan snapshot; sub-minute deterministic
Strengths
- Mechanism design (per round-4 notes) was technically interesting · LMSR + sub-minute oracle + Solana Pay QR + Lulo yield
- Self-resolving design removed the human-arbitrator dependency that plagues binary PMs
- Same-chain (Solana) precedent · if it shipped, it proved certain UX patterns work on the chain
Weaknesses
- Site offline in May 2026; project status unclear.
- Anonymous team · no recovery channel for verification
- No funding/team disclosure means no commitment signal · easy come, easy go
- Vertical (KOL leaderboards + Solana asset prices) is narrow vs horizontal PM brands
