Ascend Is Built Different
Instead of taking a position on the final result of a particular event, you're trading on whether the odds of something happening will go up or down.

Common questions
What makes Ascend different?
+Ascend allows you to trade on the movement of probabilities before the outcome of an event is known, with leverage. Traditional prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi allow you to take a position on an event, but you have to wait until the event resolves to make (or lose) money.
How does liquidity work on Ascend?
+Ascend follows a CLOB-based model which means there are no community-driven liquidity pools. In the future, we will shift to a hybrid model so this will change.
Can I close my position before an event outcome is finalized?
+Yes. You can trade in and out as many times as you want before a particular outcome is finalized because you're trading probability movements.
