Introduction
An overview of the V2 exchange
What is GammaSwap?
GammaSwap is a high performance prediction market focused on financial assets. Users can predict whether cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH will be up or down over short timeframes (5 minutes, 15 minutes, etc) while maintaining custody of their assets. It was engineered from the bottom up to be fast, simple and efficient.
Key Aspects of GammaSwap
Non-Custodial. You maintain full control of your assets.
Margin Based. Simple and capital efficient.
Instant Resolutions. No human intervention needed.
Off-Chain Matching. Low latency performance.
On-Chain Settlement. All matched trades settle on-chain and are public.
High Level Exchange Mechanics
The exchange matches orders off-chain and sequences the transactions that ultimately settle on Base, a layer 2 blockchain created by Coinbase.
Blockchain interactions are abstracted away for the user. They do not need gas to deposit or submit orders. Instead, the exchange pays gas on their behalf.
After signing to deposit, all trades can be performed without wallet pop ups mimicking a traditional trading experience.
