🎯 Bet on protocol revenue and the chances of getting hacked—right on DefiLlama? Prediction markets have arrived on the data platform
DefiLlama announced a partnership with prediction market protocol Trueo, launching a series of prediction markets at defillama.com/predictions. Markets are settled directly using DefiLlama’s own on-chain data.
🔹 Bet on protocol revenue, such as how Uniswap and Hyperliquid will perform
🔹 Bet on security risks, such as whether Aave or Morpho will be attacked
🔹 Or compare TVL, like whether Solana or Base will come out on top
DefiLlama Chief Revenue Officer Patrick Scott gave an example: people who have funds deposited in a protocol could put 1% of their deposits toward betting on a low-probability event like a hack, as a hedge.
My take: It’s an interesting idea—basically turning “insurance” into tradable odds. But two things need careful thought: First, settlement depends on a single data source, so how are the data definitions determined, and who’s responsible if something goes wrong? Second, a market betting on a hack could theoretically give insiders or attackers an incentive to exploit it. It’s a useful tool, but transparent rules are key.
Would you use a small portion of your portfolio to buy this kind of “hack insurance,” or would you rather just spread out your deposits? Let’s chat in the comments 👇
