The cryptocurrency trading platform Gate officially integrates with the well-known prediction market platform Polymarket and adds a "Polymarket" entry in the Gate App, becoming the first centralized exchange (CEX) to integrate Polymarket, now entering the public testing phase. Through this product, users can directly participate in prediction trades on global hot events in sports, finance, cryptocurrency, etc., by buying Yes / No shares based on their judgments of future event outcomes and obtaining corresponding profits after the event settlement, opening up a new experience in gaining insights into market trends and potential profits.

As prediction markets continue to heat up globally, more and more users are participating in hot topics such as sports events, macroeconomics, and the development of the cryptocurrency industry through event trading. When integrating Polymarket, the Gate platform not only retains its fundamental trading capabilities completely but also innovatively introduces a dual-interactive structure with prediction mode and trading mode: the prediction mode features an intuitive "probability + odds" display mechanism that lowers the participation threshold, helping ordinary users quickly understand market expectations; the trading mode provides professional traders with order books, price trends, and complete ordering functions, allowing them to participate in the prediction market in a way that is closer to trading in financial derivatives.

In terms of participation methods, the Gate platform's Polymarket supports two paths: exchange accounts and Web3 wallets. Users can log in to the Gate App (updated to version v8.12.5 and above) directly using their Gate exchange account and enter the Polymarket module under the Alpha page. Users only need to use USDT in their spot account to participate in prediction trades without any on-chain operations, and the overall process is consistent with the conventional trading experience, allowing users to quickly engage in the market. Additionally, the platform supports Web3 wallet login. Users can connect through their wallets to participate in the Polymarket prediction market and use USDC on the Polygon network for trading and settlement, with funds processed on-chain, providing more options for users familiar with on-chain operations and decentralized trading environments.

Regarding market structure, Polymarket provides various event classifications, including popular fields such as recommendations, sports, cryptocurrency, and finance. Users can quickly view event probability trends, odds levels, and market heat in the list and choose to buy promising future outcomes based on their judgments, thus participating in event prediction trades. Moreover, market prices reflect the probabilities of events in real time and automatically calculate corresponding odds, helping users quickly understand potential profits and market expectations. For example, when the Yes price for a certain event is 0.65, it means the market generally believes there is about a 65% chance of that event occurring. Users can choose to hold until the event settlement to obtain profits or trade buy and sell based on market price fluctuations.

In terms of professional trading capabilities, users can view probability trend charts, candlestick charts, and order book data on the market detail page, supporting various trading methods such as market orders, limit orders, and share selling. To enhance trading efficiency, the platform also offers a quick trading feature, allowing users to buy directly from the list page without entering the trading page. Additionally, the platform supports various types of prediction markets. For example, in sports events, a spread prediction market is introduced, allowing users to predict based on different score intervals, thereby enhancing the diversity and participation depth of event markets.

In asset management, Gate has achieved deep integration between the prediction market and spot accounts. Users can view USDT balances and prediction market position values in one place on the asset page and manage orders, positions, and trading history uniformly. After the event settlement, users can claim settlement profits with one click, and the system will automatically convert correctly predicted contracts to stablecoins at a 1:1 ratio and transfer them to the spot account.

Overall, the Gate prediction market retains the core mechanics of Polymarket while integrating exchange-level user demographics and complete trading capabilities and introduces AI automatic translation features, building a prediction trading system with lower thresholds and higher efficiency. This product reduces the barriers for ordinary users to participate in global hot events while providing professional traders with a more comprehensive environment for price discovery and strategic trading.

In the future, Gate will continue to expand the types of events and structures in the prediction market, introducing more global hot topics and real-time data, and further improving trading tools and liquidity systems. As event-driven trading scenarios continue to enrich, the prediction market is expected to gradually evolve from a participation-centric product form to an important mechanism that incorporates information discovery and market pricing functions, bringing new growth opportunities to the digital asset ecosystem.
