CLUE Prediction Markets

On-chain prediction markets protocol with transparent economics, DAO governance, and verifiable outcomes

CLUE is a decentralized protocol for prediction markets on real-world events across gold, commodities, economics, crypto, and technology, with on-chain governance, arbitration, and transparent settlement for retail and institutional participants.

What is CLUE?

30-second understanding of the protocol

Open market publishing, stake-based quality checks, self-custodial on-chain trading, and arbitration-backed outcomes in one protocol flow.

Anyone can publish markets directly on-chain.
Staked moderators verify market quality and rule clarity.
Traders participate via self-custodial wallets.
Staked arbitrators resolve disputes on-chain.

Who can earn in CLUE

Incentives for every contributor role

Revenue and influence are tied to measurable contribution in each protocol circuit.

Market creator

≈0.65%

Share of trade volume from creator markets (standard branch).

Trader

3% → lower

Base fee can be reduced via staking discount slots (up to 99%).

Referral partner

≈0.75%

Share of invited traders volume (25% of fee branch).

Moderator

500 CLUE + ≈0.10%

Listing fee share + commission share by moderation weights.

Arbitrator

Case-based payout

Receives redirected creator share and appeal bonds in confirmed cases.

DAO (no referral)

≈0.75%

Receives referral-equivalent branch when no referral is attached.

Burn mechanism

Deflationary Utility Model

CLUE is a utility token for trading, market creation, and staking. Core user actions feed on-chain fee flow with a burn share, while staking and role participation keep liquidity committed inside the protocol economy.

Burn scales with market volume

  • 50% of feeRouted into Burn Treasury on each finalized flow
  • 1.50% of volumeEffective burn lane at 3% base trading fee
  • 500,000,000 CLUEFixed max supply reinforced by burn mechanics

Governance & trust model

Governance without hidden controls

Governance is encoded in proposal flow, stake-weight snapshots, and on-chain execution limits.

  • Protocol parameters change through DAO proposals, voting, and on-chain execution.
  • Voting uses snapshot-based weight (stake × activity), not off-chain admin decisions.
  • Finalization has grace and execution windows, with penalties for non-participation.
  • DAO treasury unlocks geometrically (0.008% of remaining balance every 24 hours).
  • Moderation/arbitration roles are separated from DAO governance roles.

Why CLUE is different

Clear protocol-level differentiation

Only verifiable points from current docs and contract-aligned mechanics.

Code-defined governance
Admin-defined decisions
Activity-powered economics
Campaign-powered traction
Deflation through usage
Inflation through distribution
Permissionless market creation
Markets listed by administration
Resilient protocol architecture
Centralized control risk

Token CLUE

Utility-first token design

CLUE is used directly in trading, role access, discounts, governance, and fee mechanics.

  • Fixed max supply: 500,000,000 CLUE; no additional mint path.
  • Core utility: trading operations, role staking, fee discounts, and DAO governance.
  • Discount circuit uses 10 slots / 25 seats with stake-based competition.
  • Fee model routes a burn share on each finalized market fee flow.
  • Staking locks and vesting reduce free-float pressure over time.
  • Token demand is tied to real protocol usage, not pure emission incentives.
