Pandora, a newly launched decentralized prediction market protocol, aims to address the shortfalls of existing platforms by removing centralized control and ensuring transparency in trades. While other markets, such as Polymarket and Kalshi, have been criticized for retaining admin control over trades and payment decisions—highlighted by Kalshi’s January 2026 incident where they initially refunded only user stakes instead of full NFL winnings—Pandora operates without a matching server and relies solely on mathematical execution of trades. This innovative approach is designed to provide a platform for anyone who has faced restrictions or dissatisfaction with conventional prediction markets, enabling them to create markets freely and resolve disputes on-chain through community staking.
