👋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 predicting on whether prices will go up or down—but with sophisticated mechanics that reward skill and timing.

What is Libera?

Libera is a fully on-chain prediction market platform featuring a professional Central Limit Order Book (CLOB), advanced order types, and non-custodial trading. Built on Base (Ethereum Layer 2), it's a DEX-like prediction market—the Hyperliquid of Prediction Markets.

Trade binary outcomes (UP/DOWN or YES/NO, based on market) on real-world events with the same professional infrastructure you'd expect from leading DeFi protocols—plus enhanced market maker rewards and simple risk management.

What Problems Does Libera Solve?

Problem 1: UX Built for Casual Betting, Not Professional Trading

The fundamental question is: why aren't serious traders using prediction markets? The answer is simple—traditional platforms have mobile-first interfaces that don't scale to desktop, no real-time data with stale prices and delayed updates, basic charts without TradingView integration, no orderbook depth visibility, cluttered layouts unsuitable for multi-market monitoring, and zero portfolio management tools.

Libera's Solution: Desktop-First Trading Terminal

We built the terminal prediction markets deserve. Our platform features TradingView charts with professional charting capabilities including indicators, drawing tools, and multi-timeframe analysis. Every data point updates in real-time—prices, balances, positions, and open interest all refresh with sub-second latency, ensuring you're always trading on current information. The interface uses data-dense dashboards with multi-panel layouts that feel like Bloomberg Terminal, not a mobile betting app. Live orderbook depth visualization provides visual depth charts, spread visibility, and real-time liquidity monitoring so you always know market conditions. The responsive design is optimized for 1440p and higher displays with collapsible sidebars that let you customize your workspace. Finally, our portfolio suite offers a unified dashboard for positions, open orders, trade history, and P&L tracking all in one place.

Problem 2: Limited Order Types & Execution

Most prediction markets only offer market orders. There are no advanced risk management tools, poor execution on large orders, no algorithmic trading support, and no way to automate strategies. This makes professional trading impossible.

Libera's Solution: Professional Order Execution

We offer Scale orders that let you enter or exit positions gradually at better average prices, essentially providing a DCA strategy. Stop Limit orders trigger a limit order at your stop price, giving you precise control over your exit pricing. Stop Market orders trigger a market order at your stop price for guaranteed execution when you need to exit fast. Take Limit orders lock in profits with limit orders at your target price, ensuring you get your desired exit price. Take Market orders provide instant profit-taking with market orders when speed matters more than price. TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price) orders break large trades into smaller chunks executed over time for minimal market impact. Finally, our smart order routing automatically finds the best execution path across the orderbook, optimizing your fills without manual intervention.

Problem 3: Poor Market Discovery & Filtering

Traditional platforms have no way to filter markets by volume, volatility, or expiry. You can't sort by category or asset type, making it difficult to find high-conviction opportunities. There are no leaderboards to identify top traders and no wallet discovery tools to learn from the best.

Libera's Solution: Advanced Market Discovery

Our verbose filtering system lets you sort markets by volume, volatility, expiry, category, liquidity, and spread—whatever matters most to your strategy. Wallet discovery helps you find and follow the most profitable traders on the platform. Category leaderboards showcase top performers across crypto, sports, and stocks, organized by strategy type like scalping, swing trading, or position trading. Custom watchlists let you track your favorite markets with price and volume alerts. Market stats display open interest, 24-hour volume, and historical volatility at a glance for quick decision-making. Smart recommendations use AI to suggest markets matching your trading style and historical performance.

Problem 4: Granular Timeframe Limitations

Most platforms only offer daily or event-based markets. You can't trade intraday volatility, miss short-term opportunities, and have no flexibility for different strategies.

Libera's Solution: Complete Timeframe Flexibility

We offer 15-minute markets for ultra-short-term trading and rapid feedback cycles. 30-minute markets provide quick scalping opportunities for active traders. Hourly markets enable day trading with fast feedback loops. 4-hour markets hit the swing trading sweet spot with balanced volatility and liquidity. Daily markets support overnight positions for those who don't want to monitor constantly. Weekly markets offer medium-term trading with better liquidity. Monthly markets provide long-term positions with the deepest liquidity pools on the platform.

Problem 5: Thin Liquidity & Wide Spreads

Traditional platforms have thin orderbooks that make execution difficult. Wide spreads eat into profits before you even start trading. Large orders can't be executed without massive slippage. Poor execution kills returns.

Libera's Solution: AI-Powered Market Making

Deep liquidity on every market is ensured by automated market makers that maintain orderbook depth 24/7. Tight spreads averaging 6-8% (compared to 15-30% on competitors) mean you keep more of your profits. Instant fills eliminate waiting for manual market makers to respond. 24/7 liquidity means bots never sleep and are always providing quotes. Dynamic pricing automatically tightens spreads in high-volume markets. Reduced slippage through smart routing finds the best execution path across all available liquidity.

Problem 6: Centralized Infrastructure

Traditional platforms require KYC and identity verification. Custodial wallets mean they control your funds. Opaque settlement processes hide how outcomes are determined. Geographic restrictions limit who can trade. Account freezes and withdrawal limits trap your capital.

Libera's Solution: Fully On-Chain DEX

No KYC means you can connect your wallet and trade in seconds. Non-custodial architecture ensures your keys control your funds, always. Transparent on-chain settlement makes all trades verifiable on Base. Global accessibility (where legally permitted) opens markets to everyone. Instant withdrawals with no limits or waiting periods mean your capital is always available.

Problem 7: Complex Risk Management

Perpetuals have liquidation risk that can wipe out accounts. Funding rates eat into profits continuously. Margin calls and forced closures happen at the worst times. It's difficult to calculate your maximum loss before entering a trade.

Libera's Solution: Binary Simplicity

No liquidations because binary outcomes eliminate liquidation risk entirely. No funding rates means no hidden costs draining your account. Clear max loss that always equals your position size—if you buy $1,000 of positions, your max loss is exactly $1,000. Exit anytime by trading positions before expiration if you change your mind. Simple math: you either win $1 or $0 per position.

Why Aren't Serious Traders Using Prediction Markets?

The Problem: Traditional prediction market UIs are built for casual betting, not professional trading.

What's Missing: No desktop-optimized interfaces as everything is mobile-first. Stale data with prices updating every 5-30 seconds instead of real-time. Basic charts without professional indicators or drawing tools. No orderbook depth visibility to assess liquidity. Can't filter markets by volume, volatility, or strategy fit. Zero portfolio management tools for tracking performance. Limited order types with only market orders available. Thin liquidity with 15-30% spreads eating into profits.

Libera's Solution: We built the terminal prediction markets deserve.

First, our desktop-first UX includes TradingView charts with a full indicator suite including RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, and more. Multi-panel layouts are optimized for 1440p and higher displays. Data-dense dashboards feel like Bloomberg Terminal with real-time data everywhere. Collapsible sidebars enable custom workflows tailored to your trading style.

Second, our live orderbook provides real-time depth visualization so you can see liquidity distribution instantly. Spread monitoring with visual alerts keeps you informed of changing conditions. Liquidity heatmaps identify key support and resistance zones formed by orderbook depth. True price discovery comes from the CLOB, not AMM curves that distort prices.

Third, advanced execution offers Scale orders for DCA in and out of positions. Stop Limit provides precise stop loss control. Stop Market guarantees execution when you need to exit. Take Limit locks in profits at your target price. Take Market provides instant exits. TWAP minimizes slippage on large orders.

Fourth, granular durations include 15-minute markets for ultra-fast scalping, 30-minute markets for quick day trades, hourly markets for intraday volatility, 4-hour markets for swing trading, daily markets for overnight positions, weekly markets for medium-term trading, and monthly markets offering the deepest liquidity.

Realized versus unrealized P&L shows your actual performance. Position size distribution reveals concentration risk. Best and worst trades analysis highlights what's working.

Core Innovation: Binary Outcome Trading

Every market asks a simple question: "Will this asset's price go UP?" or "Will this event happen? (YES/NO)"

For Price Prediction Markets: An UP position pays $1.00 if the price increases from open to close, and $0 if it doesn't. A DOWN position pays $1.00 if the price decreases from open to close, and $0 if it doesn't.

For Event Markets (Coming Soon): A YES position pays $1.00 if the event happens, and $0 if it doesn't. A NO position pays $1.00 if the event doesn't happen, and $0 if it does.

Example for Price Market: You buy 1,000 UP positions at 62¢, costing you $620. If Bitcoin's price increases, you receive $1,000, giving you $380 profit. If Bitcoin's price decreases, you receive $0, losing your $620 investment.

Example for Event Market (Coming Soon): You buy 500 YES positions at 45¢, costing you $225. If the event happens, you receive $500, giving you $275 profit. If the event doesn't happen, you receive $0, losing your $225 investment.

Price Equals Probability: A position priced at 62¢ means the market estimates a 62% chance of that outcome. The position price for UP/DOWN (or YES/NO) plus the opposite position approximately equals $1.00, maintaining perfect balance.

Why "DEX-like"? Libera brings the same infrastructure quality as leading DeFi DEXs like Uniswap and Hyperliquid to prediction markets. This means fully on-chain execution where every trade is verifiable, non-custodial trading where you always control your funds, a professional order book providing true price discovery, transparent settlement with no hidden processes, and no intermediaries taking cuts or controlling outcomes.
