A new era of prediction markets.

Trade what happens. On-chain.

Connect

Connect Phantom or any Solana wallet. Your funds stay in your wallet until you commit them to a market.

Get NOVUS

Deposit converts SOL into NOVUS at the market price (on its Meteora bonding curve, or via Jupiter once it lists). Withdraw converts back. Devnet: grab test SOL from the faucet first.

Take a position

Choose YES or NO and commit NOVUS. The probability is each side's share of the pool.

Resolution

Crypto markets settle automatically from the Pyth oracle. Event markets are settled by the NOVUS resolver against a published source.

Get paid

Winners claim their stake plus a share of the losing side, straight from the on-chain escrow to their wallet.

Payouts: pari-mutuel pools

Every market has a YES pool and a NO pool. When it resolves, winners receive their stake back plus a share of the losing pool proportional to their stake, minus a small fee on the winnings only. Payouts are always fully funded because the escrow holds exactly what was staked; NOVUS never takes the other side of your trade. If nobody backed the winning side, the market is voided and everyone is refunded. Positions are held until resolution: selling early is not supported in pari-mutuel markets.

Resolution

Crypto markets settle from the first fully verified Pyth price published at or after the resolution time (within 15 minutes). Anyone can submit it; the program checks it is genuine Pyth data for the right asset and time.

Event markets (politics, sports, world events and more) are resolved by the NOVUS resolver after betting closes, using the source named on the market. Anything still unresolved 3 days after its resolution date can be voided by anyone, refunding every stake.

Custody

Stakes sit in a vault controlled by the NOVUS program on Solana, not by a person or company wallet. The program only pays a stake back to the wallet that placed it, as winnings or a refund. Program: GPnEqNPUa5265MfdaM75cgZGnLhQRYTbAG8PhfqYiFHK. The program has not yet been independently audited.

NOVUS is market-priced

NOVUS trades freely. Its price in SOL is set by its liquidity pool, not by NOVUS, and it can rise or fall. Winnings are paid in NOVUS and are always fully funded by the market escrow, but how much SOL they convert back into depends on the NOVUS price and pool depth at the time you withdraw. Every conversion shows the expected amount, the minimum you will accept and the price impact before you sign.

Risks & legal

This deployment runs on Solana devnet. NOVUS and SOL here are test assets with no value.

Prediction markets and event contracts are regulated in many places (for example by the CFTC in the United States) and may be treated as gambling elsewhere, including Australia. Only use NOVUS where it is legal for you. You can lose your entire stake. Nothing here is financial advice.
