POTS is a decentralized infrastructure with two synergistic engines: Pots Market (binary prediction markets on Polymarket's shared CLOB) and Pots Money (algorithmic IBS token with four-layer Smart Treasury). Each engine makes the other more powerful through a compounding flywheel.

POTS is the plural of "Pot" (Prize Pool) — a place where the hopes of humanity converge. It represents the ecosystem's role as the ultimate Human Nature Facility: harnessing the innate human drive to predict into infrastructure for truth and capital.

To create the finality of truth — an immutable, decentralized consensus layer for prediction, analogous to what Bitcoin created for value. The long-term end state is POTS-native infrastructure for the entire prediction and DeFi ecosystem.

Yes. All POTS Money smart contracts are open-source and verifiable on BSCScan. Pots Market settlement occurs via the Gnosis CTF Exchange, which is also open-source and audited by ChainSecurity.

Pots Market is a non-custodial binary prediction platform operating as a Polymarket Builder. All orders access Polymarket's Central Limit Order Book (CLOB). Trades settle on Polygon via the CTF Exchange. Every order is EIP-712 signed by the user's private key.

Pots Market is a Polymarket Builder — same CLOB, same CTF Exchange, same ERC1155 tokens. There is no separate orderbook. Pots Market adds the POTS token economy on top, not between the user and settlement.

Every market produces two ERC1155 tokens: Yes and No. The rule is Yes + No = $1.00. A Yes token at $0.65 implies a 65% probability. At resolution, winning tokens pay $1.00; losing tokens pay $0. Every pair is backed by exactly $1 locked in a smart contract.

Polymarket accuracy data: 90.4% accurate 1 month before resolution, 94% at 1 week, 95.8% at 1 day, 96.7% at 4 hours. Markets converge on truth as resolution approaches. Source: polymarket.com/accuracy.

No. Every order is EIP-712 signed by your private key. The operator cannot set prices, execute unauthorized trades, or access user funds. Settlement occurs via the CTF Exchange — a structural guarantee, not a promise.

IBS (Intelligent Bonding System) is the algorithmic, collateral-backed native token of Pots Money. Every IBS is backed by at least $1 USD in LP collateral. Supply is algorithmic — it mints when collateral is deposited and burns when stabilization mechanisms activate.

Every IBS in circulation is backed by at least $1 USD equivalent in protocol-owned LP assets. This is the primary backing — not a peg. IBS can and is designed to trade above $1 as ecosystem activity grows. The floor is enforced by the three-layer treasury.

No. IBS has a $1 minimum floor, not a $1 peg. It is not designed to stay at $1 — it can appreciate above that floor as ecosystem activity grows. Unlike stablecoins, IBS is designed to be internet-native money that captures value from protocol activity.

The Smart Treasury is a four-layer reserve: V_LP (permanent protocol-owned LP, immutable), T_RBS (automated range-bounded stability reserve), T_ST (multi-sig solvency guarantee), and T_PBM (POTS bid pool). The solvency condition (V_LP + T_RBS + T_ST) / circulating IBS ≥ 1 is maintained at all times.

25 of 50 keyholders must sign to approve any strategic treasury action — deploying the Safety Treasury, updating parameters, or making strategic allocations. No single actor, including the founding team, can unilaterally access treasury funds.

No. V_LP is locked in the Blackhole LP pool and is immutable. No actor can move or remove it under any circumstance. This permanent liquidity floor is the foundational backing for every IBS in circulation.

Yes. POTS smart contracts are audited by CertiK (4,000+ projects, $360B+ secured) and Bitlabs (DeFi specialist, formal verification). All audit reports are publicly available at /security/.

$1,000,000 USD bug bounty via CertiK Skynet. Covers all critical vulnerabilities in POTS smart contracts. To report: [email protected]. Include steps to reproduce. Do not disclose publicly before resolution.

All canonical contract addresses are at /resources/contracts/ with direct BSCScan links. Always verify through official channels before interacting with any contract. POTS will never ask you to interact with unlisted contracts.

You need a Web3 wallet (MetaMask or WalletConnect compatible), USDC on Polygon for trading, and access to pots.market. All trades are non-custodial — your wallet is your account. See /join/ for a step-by-step guide.

POTS ecosystem participation involves smart contract risk, liquidity risk, market risk, and governance risk. IBS has a $1 floor design target — not a guarantee of value. Prediction market trading involves the risk of losing your stake. Users should verify contracts and assess risk before interacting.
