The protocol behind decentralized prediction trading

Welcome

Financial speculation has evolved far beyond simple buy-and-sell of price movements. Today's traders want tools that let them express their conviction not just on the current market price, but on what they believe will happen next. They want to trade outcomes, global events, decision impacts, information shifts, and future realities, not just candle charts.

IOTrader is built to serve that trader. Live at iotrader.io.

The Problem

The current crypto infrastructure offers narrow and limited choices for high-conviction trading:

Our Solution

IOTrader introduces a new class of trading primitive: Leveraged Prediction Markets. Users don't just speculate on existing prices, they speculate on future states, and amplify conviction with leverage.

The platform unifies four trading modes traders previously had to assemble from separate venues:

• Perpetual futures on crypto with up to 20× leverage
• Prediction markets on price moves and real-world outcomes (5 min, 10 min, 1 hour, 24 hour, custom)
• Stocks & indices tradeable with crypto collateral
• Custom community markets users can create themselves

Mission & Vision

Perpetual Futures

Trade BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, and 90+ pairs with up to 20× leverage. Cross or isolated margin. Standard order types: market, limit, stop-limit. Maker-taker fee model with funding settled three times daily (00:00, 08:00, 16:00 UTC).

Wallet-native execution: connect Bitget Wallet, MetaMask, Rabby, OKX Wallet, Coinbase Wallet, Trust, or any EVM wallet. No deposit, no signup, no email.

Prediction Markets

Predict directional moves on any market over short timeframes. Two modes:

• Binary predictions, classic Yes/No on outcome questions ("Will BTC hit $100K by June?")
• Directional predictions, Buy (above) or Sell (below) the current price over a chosen window (1 min, 10 min, 1 hour)

Returns are pool-based, +85% to +95% on winning predictions depending on side balance. Settlement is automatic on-chain at expiry, oracle-fed.

Stocks & Indices

Synthetic perpetuals on equities and indices, settled in USDC, fully wallet-native. Trade NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, S&P 500, and more without leaving your wallet or KYC'ing into a brokerage.

Same orderbook model as crypto perps, same margin engine, same risk controls.

All Markets

The unified market browser surfaces everything live, hot, and upcoming, with filters for 5 minutes, 15 minutes, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, one-off, custom. Categories cover Crypto, Sports, Politics, Pop Culture, Economy, and General.

Anyone can browse and trade. Search by event, asset, or category.

Outcome Tokenization & Secondary Trading

Each prediction-market position is represented as a tokenized claim on the outcome pool. This lets positions be transferred, sold, or composed before market expiry, opening up secondary-market liquidity that primitive yes/no markets don't have.

Practical effect: traders can exit a winning prediction early at a premium, or sell a position to free capital before settlement.

Architecture

IOTrader runs on a hybrid model: off-chain order matching for speed and depth, with on-chain settlement and custody for trustlessness and verifiability. Users always retain custody of their assets.

Smart Contracts

The protocol runs on a small set of audited contracts on BNB Smart Chain.

All contracts are audited by Blockchain Tools. Audit report published on GitHub.

Network & Oracles

Built on BNB Smart Chain (BSC), an EVM-compatible Layer 1 with Proof of Staked Authority consensus, ~3-second finality, and ~2,000+ TPS throughput. Low gas, fast execution, broad wallet support.

Price feeds for prediction markets and futures settlement use Chainlink and Pyth Network, two independent decentralized oracle networks, providing redundancy and reducing single-source manipulation risk.

AI Insights Engine

The AI engine ingests three data streams in real time:

• On-chain flow: large wallet movements, DEX volume shifts, liquidation cascades, funding-rate divergence
• Market structure: orderbook depth, bid-ask imbalance, recent trade clustering
• Macro signals: rates, ETF flows, news sentiment, social activity

It surfaces probability-weighted setups, not predictions. The trader still decides. Think of it as a copilot, not autopilot.

$IOI Token Specs

Token Utility

$IOI powers six core functions across the platform:

Value Loop

The economic loop is simple: more activity → more fees → more buyback & staker reward → more demand for $IOI → more access tiers and incentives → more activity.

Contract Specifications

Example specs for a flagship perpetual contract:

Fees

Transparent. No hidden fees. Two simple rules:

• Bets and positions: 1% (100 bps) on the stake amount, charged once on entry. Fee taken in the same currency as the bet (USDT for USDT markets, BNB for BNB markets).
• Settlement, payouts, and withdrawals: 0%. No fee on claiming, no fee on receiving payouts, no recurring or hidden fees.

Risk & Margin

Standard cross or isolated margin model. Real-time risk engine monitors:

• Account margin ratio
• Maintenance margin ratio
• Liquidation price (per position)
• Funding rate exposure

Liquidation is partial-first: positions are reduced to bring margin ratio above maintenance threshold, rather than full position closure. Funding is settled three times daily at standard intervals.

Network Status

Operational status for transfers, trading, and chain nodes is published live at iotrader.io/status. The page covers 16+ networks and shows deposit, withdrawal, trade, and node status with reasons for any disabled state.

Examples

# Get all 90+ perpetual pair tickers
curl https://iotrader.io/api/v1/perp/tickers

curl "https://iotrader.io/api/v1/perp/orderbook?ticker_id=BTC-USDC"

const res = await fetch('https://iotrader.io/api/v1/perp/tickers');
const tickers = await res.json();
const eth = tickers.find(t => t.ticker_id === 'ETH-USDC');
console.log(eth.last_price, eth.funding_rate);

Audited Smart Contracts

All protocol contracts have been independently audited by two separate security firms. Both reports are public.

Findings have been remediated; each report includes post-fix verification. A second InterFi audit is planned ahead of cross-chain deployment in Q3 2026.

Non-Custodial Architecture

Users retain full control of their private keys and assets. There is no centralized deposit, no IOTrader-controlled custody wallet, no signup with email or password. Trade directly from your own wallet, the only on-chain interaction is a contract approval to use your funds for the specific trade.

Regulatory Compliance

IOTrader is one of a small number of DeFi protocols with a publicly-filed and accepted MiCA Title II crypto-asset whitepaper. The $IOI whitepaper has been notified to the Central Bank of Ireland and is publicly listed on the ESMA central register under Article 109 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCAR).

What this unlocks

• EU passporting: the whitepaper is valid across all EU and EEA Member States with Ireland as Home Member State.
• Compliant retail offering: $IOI can be offered to EU retail under the MiCA framework without requiring a separate authorisation in each Member State.
• Token classification: $IOI is classified as a Utility Token, not a financial instrument, EMT, ART, deposit, fund, securitisation, insurance, or pension product (per Article 8(4) Explanatory Note).
• Audit trail: the whitepaper is iXBRL-tagged and machine-readable, satisfying the ESMA taxonomy requirements introduced under MiCAR Level 2.

Read the full whitepaper: iotrader.io/whitepaper.html.

Corporate Structure

IOTrader operates through a multi-jurisdictional structure designed to separate token issuance (EU regulated), operations (US), and global service delivery (BVI).

The UK entity (regulated issuer) holds the MiCA whitepaper notification with the Central Bank of Ireland. Operating activity sits in the US LLC. The BVI entity is in registration to provide global service delivery and treasury flexibility.
