Seesaw Protocol

Permissionless on-chain binary prediction markets on Solana

Seesaw enables anyone to trade YES/NO shares on 15-minute price predictions through a fully on-chain order book with Pyth oracle integration. No counterparty risk. No centralized operators. Just pure price discovery.

Quick Start

How It Works

Every 15 minutes, a new market opens asking: Will the price go UP or DOWN?

ShareWhat It MeansPayout if Correct
YESPrice will be UP (or unchanged)1 USDC per share
NOPrice will be DOWN1 USDC per share

Prices come from Pyth Network - the same oracle used by major DeFi protocols. Resolution is automatic and trustless.

Why Seesaw?

  • Permissionless - No KYC, no restrictions. If you have a wallet, you can trade.
  • Non-custodial - Your funds stay in your wallet until you place an order.
  • Transparent - All orders, trades, and settlements happen on-chain.
  • Fast - 15-minute markets mean rapid feedback loops.
  • Fair - Price-time priority matching. No front-running.
