Concept & general rules

Prosper is a war of bulls and bears. Which side will you take this time?At the moment prosper is in beta version based on Binance Smart Chain, which is featuring short term price prediction pools for $BNB and $ETH. You can use $BNB and $USDC to make predictions.
Prosper's smart contract generates 4 prediction pools every hour:

2. BNB/BNB: Predictions for $BNB/USD price change within 1 hour. Predictions are being accepted in the BNB.
   
3. BNB/USDC: Predictions for $BNB/USD price change within 1 hour. Predictions are being accepted in the USDC.
   
4. ETH/BNB: Predictions for $ETH/USD price change within 1 hour. Predictions are being accepted in BNB.
   
5. ETH/USDC: Predictions for $ETH/USD price change within 1 hour. Predictions are being accepted in the USDC.

Each prediction pool has condition and final price:

• Condition price: starting price of the pool. Price of the asset (BNB or ETH) at 00 minutes of each hour;
  
• Final price: resolution price. Price of the asset (BNB or ETH) at 59 minutes and 59 seconds of each hour. Used to determine the winning side;

At 00 minutes of each hour, a user can place his/her prediction using BNB or USDC. User can choose one of two sides for his prediction [Note, that you can predict only on 1 side using 1 wallet! If you wish to predict for both sides, please use different wallets!]:

• Bulls: final price will be above the condition price;
  
• Bears: final price will be below the condition price

You've got only 10 minutes to place your predictions after the pool has been generated! The smart contract won't accept new predictions after that time. After the prediction acceptance period has ended, Prospesper UI will calculate the ratio between the BULLS and BEARS and determine the reward for each side.

At 59 minutes 59 seconds of each hour, Prosper smart contract will call Chain Link oracle contract to determine the final price and indicate it in UI. Kindly note that Chain Link uses average price across all exchanges, so it may deviate a bit from an exact exchange price.

After the final price has been determined, Prosper UI will indicate the winner. Users, who predicted for the winning side will share all money from the predictions of the opposite side. The reward pool sharing is done on a proportionally basis.

Prosper DAO

Prosper DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organisation) is a governance of Prosper protocol. Each holder can participate in DAO votings and staking to receive the reward and share the protocol fees. DAO can vote, change protocol fees rate, fee distribution, approve spendings and initiate any other vote related to Prosper.so ecosystem.

The DAO stakers are eligible to share protocol fees and revenue.

• DAO 1.0: Snapshot votings [ETA: 30th January] - vote and propose on snapshot platform;
  
  
• DAO 2.0: Snapshot votings via DAO dashboard [ETA: 5th February] - vote and propose via DAO UI using Snapshot smart contracts. Stake $PROS to recieve rewards;
  
  
• DAO 3.0: DAO Dashboard [ETA: 10th February] - change fee rate and DAO treasury distribution at any time via Dashboard. Vote and propose via DAO UI using Snapshot smart contracts;
  

Fees and rewards distribution

Prosper protocol takes 3% fee ONLY from the reward part. For example, if you predicted using 50 BNB and were supposed to receive 100 BNB including the reward, the protocol would take 1.5 BNB (3% from 50 BNB) as a fee, so you will receive only 98.5 BNB.

The fee rate can be changed at any moment on Prosper DAO discretion.

All protocol fees are property of Prosper DAO Treasury. Treasury splits fees on 3 parts:

• Development fund;
  
  
• DAO governance reward;
  
  
• User incentives;

In the initial version the treasury is being divided into 3 equal parts. However, the ration can be changed on discretion of Prosper DAO Governance.

Prediction mining

Prediction mining is a user incentivizing event. It has been created to boost protocol volumes and engage users.

During the prediction mining campaigns users can earn $PROS token based on their prediction volume
