The true face of prediction markets 🙌🏻

I used to think prediction markets were just a casino in disguise—high leverage, forced liquidation, and in the end, the whales call the shots. Until I came across the project philosophy of AlignerZ Labs.

They are doing one thing: fixing the misalignment between users and incentive mechanisms. It sounds simple, but it hits the core pain point of prediction markets.

Why do traditional prediction markets easily turn into "whale playgrounds"? The fundamental reason is misaligned incentives. The interests of retail investors often conflict with those of platforms and market makers. High leverage systems, liquidity restrictions, information asymmetry—all these work behind the scenes, making players increasingly feel like they are fighting against the market's capillaries.

AlignerZ Labs' idea is to change this situation from the source. By redesigning the incentive structure, they aim to let truly insightful predictors profit, rather than winning based on capital size and risk tolerance. This is how prediction markets should look.

Honestly, I'm already tired of the whales eating retail investors' tricks. It's only interesting when the incentive mechanism is changed.

Sounds like yet another "game-changing" project that even whales want to laugh at. Another story of incentives—why can't I just not believe it? What makes you think this time won't get rug pulled again?

It's the same old story of incentive alignment. I've heard it countless times; now let's see who actually makes it happen.

Incentive alignment sounds nice, but will the whales let go of this cake?

It's the same old story of incentive alignment—sounds nice, but it's just the same old trick with a new coat of paint. Come on, whales always win, and small investors are just the leeks. There are plenty of projects like this, but the key is how long they can survive.

nah this incentive realignment stuff sounds nice on paper but let me be honest—we've heard this pitch before. the math doesn't check out until someone actually shows the numbers working at scale.

Sounds good, but can incentive alignment really solve the problem of whales crushing the market? --- Another project that aims to be revolutionary, but we need to see how it actually performs. --- Making money through insights? I need to study this logic. --- Finally, someone wants to fix this mess. About time. --- The question is, who defines what "true insight" is? --- I just want to know if this can truly protect small investors, instead of just repackaging old ideas with a new bottle. --- No matter how well-designed the incentive mechanism is, it can't withstand information warfare. --- Interesting, worth following up on this project. --- Feels like they're just making up stories again, let's talk about it later. --- Changing from the source? Just listen, but what can actually be changed?
