About POTS

What is POTS?

POTS is a prediction-market ecosystem that answers to its community, not a company. Consensus, node voting, and open-source code decide how it runs — there's no central operator in the middle.

The idea is straightforward: a shared, verifiable layer for working out what's true. People anywhere can weigh in on real-world events and future outcomes, and every result settles on-chain where anyone can check it.

Two engines drive it. Pots Market pulls scattered information into clear price signals — a non-custodial prediction platform running on Polymarket's shared CLOB. Pots Money works like an on-chain treasury: issuing assets, managing liquidity, and keeping the loop running over the long term.

Three contradictions

Existing prediction platforms can't keep their promises

They call it Web3, but the custody, the rules, and the incentives tell a different story. POTS fixes all three the same way — by replacing "trust us" with infrastructure you can check yourself.

False asset sovereignty

Most platforms hold funds in centralized custody — no different from depositing into a centralized exchange. Asset control is fragile and vulnerable to freezing without notice.

Fragile rules

KYC and geo-restrictions turn prediction into a permissioned gamble. Regulatory changes can alter the rules mid-game. Censorship-resistant truth discovery requires censorship-resistant infrastructure.

Misaligned purpose

Platforms optimized for institutional risk hedging sacrifice community wisdom infrastructure. Prediction markets become financial tools instead of decentralized mechanisms for truth discovery.

The dual engine

Two engines that feed each other

Each one fixes a different thing centralized prediction gets wrong. Put them together and the loop closes: trading fills the treasury, and a solid treasury gives people the confidence to keep trading.

Market

Pots Market

Binary prediction infrastructure on Polymarket's shared CLOB

  • Non-custodial — EIP-712 signed, platform never takes custody
  • Shared CLOB with Polymarket — deepest prediction liquidity pool
  • Yes/No tokens settle at $1.00 — pure probability pricing
  • Settles on Polygon via CTF Exchange
Money

Pots Money

Algorithmic treasury layer — IBS token, Smart Treasury, POTS governance

  • IBS — algorithmic token with $1 collateral floor, not a stablecoin
  • Four-layer Smart Treasury: V_LP · T_RBS · T_ST · T_PBM
  • POTS governance token — 21M fixed supply, Snapshot DAO
  • 25-of-50 multi-sig — no single actor controls treasury
How it fits

Three pieces, one loop

1

IBS / USDT

The liquidity entry point

IBS is the algorithmic token traded against USDT on BNB Chain. It is designed to hold a $1 collateral floor backed by protocol-owned LP — the on-ramp for staking, bonds, and ecosystem participation.

Role Liquidity & participation
2

POTS / BTC

The fixed-supply value layer

POTS is the 21M fixed-supply governance token, paired with BTC in a protocol-owned pool. Earned through the PBM auction — not pre-sold. Value depends on ecosystem activity and is subject to market risk.

Role Governance & value capture
3

Pots Market

The revenue engine

Prediction trading routes protocol revenue into the Smart Treasury, which buys and burns IBS. Activity is the input; treasury backing is the output — every step verifiable on-chain.

Role Revenue & treasury
Structural guarantees

Four properties no centralized platform can offer

These aren't features a team chose to add. They're built into the contracts — enforced by code, not by anyone's promise.

Your keys, your orders

Every prediction order is EIP-712 signed by your private key. The platform routes — it never holds. Funds cannot be frozen, seized, or accessed by any operator.

Math, not promises

The IBS $1 floor is enforced by on-chain LP collateral — not by a team's commitment. Treasury value ÷ supply = floor. The formula runs automatically. No one can override it.

Revenue circulates back

Prediction market fees flow into the YRF — buying IBS from the open market and burning it permanently. Every trade strengthens the treasury. Activity compounds into ecosystem value.

Audited & immutable

CertiK and Bitlabs audited. Ownership renounced to the zero address. 25-of-50 multi-sig treasury. $10M+ LP permanently burned. Every claim is verifiable on BSCScan — independently, right now.

The compounding loop

How prediction activity turns into ecosystem value

The two engines are wired together in a loop. Get this part, and the rest of the page falls into place.

Non-custodial Trade

User trades on Pots Market — EIP-712 signed by their own wallet, routed through Polymarket's shared CLOB.

Truth Signal

Yes/No prices aggregate dispersed information into a public, verifiable on-chain probability signal.

Protocol Revenue

Trading volume generates protocol revenue — visible on-chain at every settlement step.

Smart Treasury

Revenue routes into the four-layer Smart Treasury — V_LP, T_RBS, T_ST, and T_PBM bid pool.

IBS Floor Holds

Treasury backing keeps IBS above its $1 collateral floor — algorithmic supply expands with real demand.

Confidence Loop

A credible, verifiable floor drives ecosystem confidence — which drives more prediction activity.

Protocol mechanics

Enter through IBS. Earn POTS. The loop compounds over time.

It starts with IBS staking. Deposit USDT to get IBS, stake it for vIBS, and you're in the 500-day PBM auction — the main way POTS tokens get distributed. The POTS you earn can go into the POTS/BTC liquidity pool, where daily deflation hands out rewards by VIP level. Meanwhile, trading on Pots Market feeds revenue into the Smart Treasury, which buys and burns IBS — designed to tighten supply and support the collateral floor. How it plays out depends on ecosystem activity, and it's subject to market risk.

IBS Staking Flow Active
01 Stake IBS → vIBS

Deposit USDT to mint IBS. Stake IBS to receive vIBS — your participation position. vIBS size determines auction weight and reward share.

02 500-day PBM Auction

vIBS holders participate in the Prediction Bid Module cycle. Each period distributes POTS tokens proportionally to staking position.

03 POTS/BTC Liquidity Pool

Earned POTS deploys into the POTS/BTC pool on PancakeSwap. Daily 0.5% deflation redistributes POTS to pool participants by VIP level (1–9).

04 Market Revenue Loop

Pots Market trading revenue → Smart Treasury → IBS buy & burn → supply contracts → collateral floor supported. Designed mechanism, not guaranteed return.

Pots Money

IBS and POTS token serve different roles

Both tokens belong to the POTS ecosystem, but they do different jobs. Neither is a stablecoin, and neither promises a return. Know what each one is for before you touch it.

Contract
On-chain verification

Don't trust the landing page. Verify the system.

Everything here is checkable — contracts, treasury, signer count, wallet permissions. Honestly, it's the checklist worth running on any DeFi project before you connect a wallet.

Contracts

IBS: 0x255e…A7cd on BSCScan. All canonical addresses in the Contracts section. Never interact with unlisted contracts.

Liquidity

V_LP is locked in the Blackhole LP pool — immutable. Review pool depth, LP lock, and holder data with DEX analytics tools.

Treasury

25-of-50 multi-sig. No single actor can unilaterally access treasury funds — including the founding team. Verify the Safe.

Permissions

Review wallet approvals before and after any interaction. Unlimited allowances are a risk vector. Revoke what you don't need.

FAQ

Questions people ask before connecting a wallet

01 What is the POTS Ecosystem?

POTS is a dual-engine decentralized infrastructure. Pots Market is the prediction layer — non-custodial binary markets on Polymarket's shared CLOB, settling on Polygon. Pots Money is the DeFi layer — algorithmic IBS token, four-layer Smart Treasury, bonds, and staking on BNB Chain. Each engine is designed to make the other more powerful.

02 How does Pots Market work?

Pots Market is a Polymarket Builder. Users trade Yes/No outcome tokens on Polygon via the CTF Exchange. Every order is EIP-712 signed by the user's own private key — the platform routes orders but never takes custody. Yes + No = $1.00 at all times. Winning tokens pay $1.00 at resolution. All trades access Polymarket's shared CLOB.

03 What is the IBS $1 floor?

Every IBS in circulation is backed by at least $1 USD in protocol-owned LP assets — a collateral floor, not a peg. IBS can trade above $1 as ecosystem activity grows. The floor is enforced by V_LP (permanent, immutable LP), T_RBS (range-bounded stability reserve), and T_ST (25-of-50 multi-sig safety treasury).

04 Why is POTS called the Human Nature Facility?

Prediction is innate to humanity. Centralized platforms introduced custody risk, censorship, and institutional bias. POTS is designed as permissionless, non-custodial infrastructure for decentralized truth discovery — analogous to what Bitcoin created for value. Bitcoin asked "can we transfer value without intermediaries?" POTS asks "can we predict truth without authority?"

05 How do I verify POTS before connecting a wallet?

Check IBS contract on BSCScan: 0x255e746aBb8D9Acac00d6d023e5E63E3b8DFA7cd. Review all canonical addresses at /resources/contracts/. Read audit reports at /security/. Check the Smart Treasury Safe — verify signer count and threshold. Never interact with contracts not listed on official POTS channels.

Two engines. One ecosystem. One door in.

Non-custodial prediction markets, an on-chain treasury, everything verifiable. One door into the whole thing.
