Proposal: YUCE Prediction Markets on Canton

Development Fund Proposal Submission

Proposal file: /proposals/yuce-prediction-markets-on-canton.md

---

Summary

This proposal requests development funding for an open-source shared market and liquidity framework for prediction markets on Canton. The project is positioned as reusable application-layer infrastructure rather than a single standalone product. It is designed to support standardized market creation, shared market access, shared liquidity, unified lifecycle and settlement rules, and public APIs for ecosystem partners. The framework will first validate shared price prediction markets through a reference implementation, then open market creation to external partners, and finally extend the same infrastructure to event prediction markets. The intended outcome is a reusable public-good framework that reduces duplicated infrastructure work, improves interoperability, and enables multiple platforms to participate around common market structures on Canton.

Notes for Reviewers

Please pay particular attention to the project’s positioning as open-source ecosystem infrastructure rather than a single consumer-facing application. The phased delivery path is structured to validate a shared market model in practice: first through shared price markets created by the reference implementation, then through externally created price markets via public APIs, and finally through expansion into event prediction markets. Reviewers may also wish to focus on the project’s ecosystem value in reducing duplicated market infrastructure, supporting shared liquidity, and establishing a reusable integration framework for future prediction market builders and partner platforms on Canton.
