Abstract

The global prediction market is entering a stage of rapid growth, with its economic potential and informational value being redefined. According to research data from MetaTech Insights, the overall size of the decentralized prediction market is expected to reach USD 95.5 billion by 2035, with a compound annual growth rate of 46.8%. Meanwhile, centralized platforms (such as Kalshi) have reached valuations exceeding USD 5 billion, and decentralized representative Polymarket has recorded a weekly trading volume of USD 2 billion, setting a historical high.

However, the industry’s explosive growth also exposes structural issues: regulatory uncertainty, insufficient market liquidity, oracle security risks, and high user experience barriers. These problems limit the mainstream adoption of prediction markets, keeping the sector in an early exploratory phase.

Merin was born to resolve these core contradictions. It is a future-oriented, AI-enhanced predictive market base protocol, aiming to build a compliant, secure, liquid, and user-friendly prediction market ecosystem through a composable smart contract system, multi-layer oracle network, cross-market liquidity mechanism, and AI analysis engine.

Merin is not just a platform, but a new market logic — transforming human collective intelligence into tradable predictive assets.

In the future, Merin aspires to become the public infrastructure for predictive data, allowing every social signal and event outcome to be transformed into informational value through market consensus.
