How PredMart Keeps Your Money Safe
PredMart runs on a smart contract on Base. A smart contract is a program that lives on the blockchain and follows its rules exactly, without anyone being able to change how it works on the fly.
Your Money Stays in the Contract
When your money enters PredMart — margin for a trade, or an LP deposit into the pool — it goes into the smart contract, not into a company bank account. The PredMart team cannot take it, move it, or freeze it. The contract's rules decide when money moves, and those rules are public for anyone to check.
For traders: Your margin sits in the contract until your trade closes. If you win, the contract pays you. If you lose, the contract takes only what the rules allow.
For LPs: Your deposited funds stay in the contract. You can withdraw at any time (subject to available liquidity). The contract automatically tracks your share of the pool and any fees you've earned.
What the PredMart Team Can Do
To open, close, or settle a trade, you go through PredMart's system. The team runs the service that connects you to the contract. They can:
- Submit your trade requests to the contract
- Provide price updates (the contract checks that prices are fresh — within 30 seconds)
- Close out trades that fall below the safety margin (15%)
- Pause the system in an emergency
What the PredMart Team Cannot Do
The team cannot:
- Take money from the contract
- Change your trade after you've confirmed it
- Close a healthy trade without your permission
Any rule changes require approval from multiple team members, and there's a waiting period before changes take effect. This gives everyone time to see what's coming.
