A market where people can review evidence and trade True or False on disputed facts. Think prediction markets, but instead of asking what will happen, we ask what has actually happened. A new category created for a world where information is abundant, but truth is increasingly debatable.
The internet gave everyone the power to make or amplify a claim, but it never built a reliable way to resolve one. Verifact Markets exists to change that.
Finding the truth requires sorting through more information than any individual, journalist, or institution can reasonably evaluate. Evidence is scattered, incentives are misaligned, and people understandably stop searching once they find enough information to confirm what they already believe.
For example: Covid originated from a laboratory in Wuhan. True or false? Verifact lets the market price that question. The trading experience is similar to prediction markets, but the resolution path is different. Verifact Markets is evidence-based.
Behind the scenes, we will use technology to help our team resolve markets. We have a patent-pending resolution system. We combine evidence collection, market incentives, and a purpose-built system to examine disputed claims at scale.
Not every question will be resolved immediately, but every Verifact Market should make the evidence clearer, the competing arguments easier to understand, and the public better informed than it was before.
Our mission is to serve the search for truth.
