Start with a question you care about—then turn your forecast into a position you can trade. Open Omen, connect your wallet, and browse live questions across crypto, elections, sports, tech launches, and more. Each question has outcome tokens you can buy or sell. Pick a side, set how much to stake, and confirm the swap. Prices move with demand, so you’ll see your position value change in real time. You can also supply liquidity to a market you like, earning a share of trading fees while keeping exposure to both sides. Track your portfolio, check unrealized P&L, and close or rebalance whenever your view shifts.
When the question you want isn’t listed, create it. Draft a clear title, add precise resolution rules, and define the end time. Choose the token used for stakes, seed the initial pool so trading can begin, and set a creator fee if you want ongoing revenue. Pick a trusted resolver to post the final result and select a backup dispute service in case of challenges. Add tags and a category so the market is easy to find, then publish and share the link with your audience. Creators often promote on social, in DAO forums, or newsletters to kick-start liquidity and discussion.
After the event concludes, the chosen resolver submits the outcome. The system calculates payouts automatically: holders of the winning token can claim the pooled funds, while liquidity providers withdraw their share and any earned fees. If you spot an error or ambiguity, file a challenge within the appeal window. Stake the required bond and escalate to the designated dispute resolver. Their ruling finalizes the result, and claims reopen. You’ll see clear status indicators—pending, resolved, or under appeal—plus timers for each phase so you know when to act.
For teams and power users, Omen fits into broader workflows. Analysts can run weekly strategies across sectors, export trade history for performance reviews, and use alerts to react to news. DAOs can hedge treasury risks by taking positions against key milestones or crowdsource intelligence from members via incentive-aligned questions. Creators and journalists can embed market links to engage readers and measure sentiment before publishing. Developers can script automated actions—like rebalancing or fee harvesting—by interacting with the contracts and public endpoints. Whether you’re forecasting, hedging, or building tools on top, Omen turns collective insight into tradable signals you can use.
