🚀 Why AroundMarket?
AroundMarket isn't just another prediction platform; it's a hyper-efficient liquidity engine designed to maximize the value of every participant's capital.
2.1 Self-Yielding Innovation: Making Capital Work
Traditional prediction markets leave funds "dead" until an event concludes. AroundMarket introduces the industry’s first Self-Yielding Pool architecture via Aave V3 integration.
The Value Loop
By routing pool collateral into Aave, we create a sustainable ecosystem:
- 🛡️ Pool Owners/LPs: Earn Aave lending yields on top of trading fees.
- 📈 Traders: Enjoy deeper liquidity as yield-seeking capital flows into the platform.
- 🌐 The System: Becomes more robust as the TVL (Total Value Locked) is constantly productive.
2.2 Virtual Liquidity AMM: Solving the "Cold Start"
Most decentralized markets suffer from high slippage and "broken" prices at launch. Our Virtual Liquidity model ensures every market is born ready.
- ⚡ Immediate Price Discovery: Markets start at a fair 50/50 (0.5 price) automatically, even before the first trade occurs.
- 🌊 Slippage Buffer: Virtual liquidity acts as a "synthetic depth," providing a much smoother trading experience for early participants.
- ⚙️ Creator Control: Market creators can configure initial virtual liquidity amounts to match expected volume.
2.3 Comprehensive Reward Ecosystem
We’ve designed a circular economy that rewards every active role in the AroundMarket universe:

2.4 Robust Risk Management
Security is our north star. AroundMarket implements institutional-grade safeguards to protect your assets.
Multi-Layer Protection
- 🏢 Multi-signature Controls: All critical protocol parameters and fund movements require multi-sig approval from the ELF LABS DAO.
- 🚫 Invalid Market Mechanism: If an event outcome is ambiguous or cannot be verified (e.g., a game is cancelled), the market is marked
Invalid, allowing users to reclaim their collateral safely. - 🛡️ Insurance Pool: A dedicated
InsurancePool.solcontract acts as a backstop to repair any unforeseen fund shortfalls.
Prediction markets involve inherent risks. While our smart contracts are built with security first, always perform your own due diligence before providing liquidity or trading.
