👋Introduction

Libera is a decentralized prediction market platform built on Base (Ethereum Layer 2) that lets you trade on real-world asset price movements. Think of it as betting on whether prices will go up or down—but with sophisticated mechanics that reward skill and timing.

Platform Overview

Built on Base (Ethereum Layer 2), Libera creates liquid, transparent markets where users can take LONG or SHORT positions (Beginner Mode) or YES or NO positions (Standard Mode) on whether assets will increase or decrease in value.

Vision Statement

To create the world's most accessible prediction markets for speculating on real-world asset dynamics, providing transparent price discovery and democratizing sophisticated financial instruments across multiple asset classes and timeframes.

Core Innovation

Beginner Mode features an entry-weighted pool system that rewards timing skill. Your entry point matters significantly. Entering a Bitcoin LONG position early in the week when it's at $95,000 and it settles at $102,000 earns substantially more than entering late at $100,000, even with identical stake amounts.

Standard Mode offers professional order book trading with YES/NO shares paying $1.00 if correct, $0 if wrong. This enables limit orders, stop losses, TWAP execution, and flexible intraweek trading.

Position Commitment: In Beginner Mode, positions lock until market expiration with no early exit. In Standard Mode, shares can be traded freely before settlement, with flexible timeframes from 1 hour to 1 month.

Position Types

Beginner Mode (LONG/SHORT):

  • LONG Position: Predicts the asset price will increase from opening to closing (equivalent to traditional long positions)

  • SHORT Position: Predicts the asset price will decrease from opening to closing (equivalent to traditional short positions)

Standard Mode (YES/NO):

  • YES Shares: Pay $1.00 if asset price increases, $0 if it decreases

  • NO Shares: Pay $1.00 if asset price decreases, $0 if it increases

This dual terminology system makes Beginner Mode intuitive for newcomers while Standard Mode appeals to experienced traders familiar with share-based prediction markets.
