In the crypto industry, truly noteworthy signals often do not come from market noise, but from the "rare actions" of select authoritative entities.

Recently, Space was included in the Binance Research ecosystem quarterly report, becoming the only project in the report that has not yet completed its TGE but was prominently featured as a prediction market project. Amid a plethora of launched and circulating mature projects, Space's "exceptional" inclusion signaled a highly directional market cue.

Authoritative Attention Often Precedes Trends

Binance Research's ecosystem report is only released four times a year and does not target ordinary early-stage projects. Instead, it focuses on Binance's ecosystem-level emphasis on infrastructure and protocols with long-term potential and structural value.

In this context, Space's individual listing as an unreleased project alongside multiple fully issued mature projects is inherently scarce. This not only signifies Binance Research's high recognition of Space's product logic and market positioning but also indicates that it has entered the convergence point of primary and secondary market attention.

From historical experience, such public, restrained yet explicit authoritative signals often bear similarities to the early public attention from top-tier institutions like CoinList, Paradigm, etc., to key track projects—it is not a marketing ploy but a judgment of "direction."

Not Just a Prediction Market, But a "Leverage Layer" for Prediction Markets

Unlike traditional prediction markets, Space does not dwell on the "outcome guessing" or "binary game" level.

Space has built a Leverage Layer tailored to the prediction market—focusing on order book structure, leverage mechanisms, and information efficiency to upgrade the prediction market from a low capital efficiency betting model to a financial tool with professional trading attributes.

In Space's design, prediction is no longer just an expression of views but a risk exposure that can be amplified, managed, priced, and traded. This approach is driving the prediction market closer to a derivatives trading paradigm.

Core Mechanism: Revamping the Prediction Market Around Capital Efficiency and Trading Experience

Space's product mechanism revolves around three core goals: "Capital Efficiency," "Liquidity," and "User Retention"

Central Limit Order Book (CLOB): Adopts an order book mechanism consistent with mainstream exchanges, with real user-to-user trading to avoid the slippage and efficiency loss brought by AMM

0% Maker Fee: Encourages market-making behavior to drive depth and liquidity formation naturally

Up to 10x Leverage: Introduces leverage in the prediction market to provide higher capital efficiency and return elasticity for high-confidence trades

50% of Protocol Revenue Used for Buyback and Burn: Directly feeds back true protocol revenue to the token ecosystem to establish long-term scarcity

Comprehensive user retention flywheel design:

Gamified points and ranking system

Seasonal airdrop mechanism

Liquidity incentives and referral reward model

This entire mechanism makes Space more than just a "prediction platform," resembling more of a trading system built around predictive behavior with financial depth and long-term incentive structures.

2026: The Resurgence of the Prediction Market Narrative

Entering 2026, the prediction market is once again returning to the core of the industry narrative.

Amid rising macro uncertainty and increasing information fragmentation, the market's demand for a "verifiable, priceable, and tradable truth mechanism" is continuously strengthening. The prediction market is gradually shifting from a fringe gambling tool to a crucial infrastructure for information discovery and consensus building.

In this trend, Space happens to be at the intersection of three trends:

Scarce attention signals released by authoritative institutions

Differentiated product mechanism centered around leverage and order book

Structural regression of the prediction market narrative in the new cycle

This not only gives Space short-term attention but also provides long-term strategic value.
