Visible Odds Destroy The Opinion 🗳️
A market is only worth reading when the prices in it are independent judgements, and the moment everyone can see which way the crowd is leaning that stops being true.
On $SOL an order book sits on-chain where anyone can read it, so a running tally is visible to every participant while the question is still open.
With a factual question that mostly works, because the thing being priced resolves either way regardless of who bet on it. With an opinion there is no right answer to resolve against, so a visible majority is just free money, and the rational move is to join it rather than say what you think.
That is herding, and it empties the market of the only thing it was built to measure.
Melee is building opinion markets on Arcium for exactly that reason. A position arrives in pieces that mean nothing apart, so nothing running the market can tell which side anyone took, and the market still prices and settles correctly.
Resolution posts to Solana like any other transaction, so the outcome is checkable even though the votes behind it were never public.
An opinion market that shows its odds measures the crowd instead of the question, and Arcium is what lets one measure the question.
