Space isn’t a forecasting tool — it’s a conviction market. Prediction markets ask, “What do you think will happen?” Space asks, “How much are you willing to stake behind that belief — and for how long?” Leverage is the filter. Weak opinions don’t merely underperform; they’re forcibly exited. That pressure compresses noise, accelerates resolution, and drives information to converge faster than in spot-based systems where incorrect views can persist without consequence. The innovation isn’t leverage itself. It’s what leverage makes visible: • Conviction is priced, not declared • Time is a cost, not a footnote • Information resolves through pressure, not polling Space transforms markets into truth-discovery engines under stress. That’s why it feels different. And why it scales beyond prediction.
