Verity

So I’ve started building @UseVerity . The current MVP isn’t a prediction market. It’s an attempt at a reputation and intelligence layer for onchain markets. Right now it includes things like: Forecaster profiles Reputation-based rankings Market discovery Reputation-weighted market conviction Transparent scoring methodology A curated admin system to validate the thesis before automating anything I’m intentionally starting with a small, manually curated product instead of trying to build the entire vision at once. One question I’m still trying to answer is this: If you were building on Percolator (or any future market infrastructure), what is the one shared primitive you’d rather not build yourself? Is it reputation? Discovery? Identity? Intelligence? Something else entirely? I’d genuinely appreciate thoughts from anyone building in this space. I care much more about being wrong early than spending months building the wrong thing. @vibhu @harkl_ @PhoenixTrade @perps @PercolatorTrade

I’ve spent the last month going down a rabbit hole around @toly rant on X here, from onchain markets, Percolator, prediction markets, and Futarchy. The more I thought about it, the less convinced I became that what he’s taking about or the opportunity is another prediction market or another perp exchange. If markets become permissionless, we’ll likely end up with hundreds of market applications. But every one of them will eventually need to answer the same questions: Who should I trust? Who has actually been right over time? Which markets are worth paying attention to? Where is informed conviction moving? Right now, every app seems like it’ll end up rebuilding identity, reputation, discovery, and market intelligence from scratch. That’s the problem I’ve been thinking about.
