Trade Clash — Sealed-Lot Prediction Market Auction
Built on Base | Currently powered by Polymarket
The Game
A multiplayer auction where you bid on hidden portfolios of real prediction market positions. Seven positions per lot, revealed across three bidding streets. Outprice the table. Don't overpay.
How It Works
Street 1 — "The Peek": You see the category, payout range, and one private position nobody else can see. Place a sealed bid. All bids revealed.
Street 2 — "The Flip": One shared position revealed to everyone. You know your private card, the shared card, and what everyone bid on Street 1. Bid again.
Street 3 — "The River": One more shared position. Final sealed bid. Highest bid wins the lot.
The Reveal: All seven positions exposed — including burn cards nobody saw. Winner's profit = trueValue minus their bid. Overbid and you lose money.
Each lot takes roughly three minutes. Rooms run continuously — finish one lot, the next deals automatically.
What You're Bidding On
Every lot contains seven real prediction market positions — currently sourced from Polymarket — with live prices. The lot's true value is calculated from those prices, but you never see all seven until the reveal. At least one position is always hidden (the "burn card"), so the lot is never fully solvable.
The payout range shown at the start is deliberately wide. Narrowing it down — using your private position, shared reveals, and other players' bid behavior — is the game.
The Globe
The 3D globe is the game surface. Each region maps to a category:
North America → Politics
Europe → Macro
Asia → Tech & Culture
Middle East → Geopolitics
South America → Sports
Africa → Emerging Markets
Oceania → Entertainment
When a lot is active, the region pulses. Between auctions, the globe serves as a live prediction market dashboard — trending markets, prices, resolution timers.
Play Free, Prove Skill
The game is free. All auctions run on game dollars in sandbox mode. Top players on the leaderboard earn weekly $SIM rewards. Your edge is your read on incomplete information — not your wallet.
Why It Works
Easy entry: Join a room, see a lot, bid on what you think it's worth.
Skill emerges: Lot one feels like guessing. By lot twenty, you're reading bid patterns, sizing burn card risk, and timing first-place wins.
First-place wins: Bid aggressively enough to gap the table by 50% on Street 1 or 20% on Street 2, and you win the lot early. High risk, high spectacle.
Verifiable: Every position sourced from live prediction markets. trueValue = sum of (currentPrice - entry) x size. No hidden math.
