Overview
- Myriad launched the FIFA World Cup 2026 Prediction Contest on Thursday with a $100,000 prize pool for traders and makers.
- The top three traders will receive $20,000, $10,000, and $5,000 while $10,000 is split across the rest of the leaderboard and $5,000 is paid weekly to top makers.
- The platform opened more than 75 multi-binary markets that let users place predictions on every World Cup match.
- Myriad uses Chainlink oracles for market resolution, real-time feeds from 55 Tech for live pricing, and is running the contest on the D. Energy layer-1 chain.
- The contest builds on a recent seed milestone round by Myriad’s builder Dastan and places the company in direct competition with Polymarket and Kalshi as prediction markets push into mainstream sports, a move that also faces regulatory scrutiny in some jurisdictions.
