Question 1

What is Signal?

Accepted Answer

Signal lets you earn from sports insight: back the players who perform and the analysts whose calls land, and collect weekly USDC dividends from real results, all powered by an on-chain prediction market. Every call you make is also recorded on-chain, so the track record you build belongs to your wallet, not any platform.

Question 2

Do I need crypto or a wallet to start?

Accepted Answer

No prior crypto experience needed. You can sign in with email or Google and Signal creates a secure wallet for you automatically, or connect an existing wallet. Signal is currently on testnet, so use the in-app faucet to mint free test USDC and start trading without spending real money.

Question 3

What can I predict on, and which leagues?

Accepted Answer

Markets cover top-flight football (the Premier League plus other top European leagues) across outcomes like a player scoring, a team winning, or a stat milestone.

Question 4

How do prediction markets work?

Accepted Answer

You buy YES or NO shares on specific outcomes: a player scoring, a team winning, a stat milestone. Each share pays out $1 if correct, $0 if not. Prices update in real time and reflect crowd-aggregated probability.

Question 5

What are player shares and dividends?

Accepted Answer

Player shares give you tokenised exposure to a player's on-pitch performance. Prices move with market demand. Hold shares during an active gameweek to earn weekly Performance Dividends, calculated automatically from verified match stats.

Question 6

What does it cost? Are there fees?

Accepted Answer

Prediction markets charge a flat 2% fee on your stake, the same rate on buys and sells. Player shares use an asymmetric fee: 1% on buys, 2% on sells. There are no deposit, withdrawal, or inactivity fees.

Question 7

How are markets resolved?

Accepted Answer

An oracle posts verified results after each match. Markets that aren't resolved before their deadline can be voided by anyone, with no operator dependency.

Question 8

What is Be the Signal?

Accepted Answer

An ongoing 7-leg strategy competition. For a $10 entry ($100 premium wave), Signal stakes you a $1,000 virtual bankroll. On each of seven Yes/No legs you allocate your whole balance (hedge across both outcomes or go all-in), and the amount on the correct side carries to the next leg. Whatever your bankroll is worth after the seventh leg is paid out to you; go all-in and call all seven correctly to take the full $1,000. You have 14 days to pick each leg. Miss that window and you forfeit the remaining bankroll. Every leg is written permanently to your on-chain analyst file.

Question 9

How does on-chain reputation work?

Accepted Answer

Every prediction is EIP-712 signed and recorded permanently on Base, and the outcome of every settled call is mirrored to the Intuition graph. Your record (every win, loss, and parlay) is immutable, portable across apps, and fully self-sovereign. It can never be deleted or altered. For example: you sign "Haaland to score: NO" at 16:58, before an Arsenal v City kickoff. The chain stamps that call before anyone knows the result. Haaland scores, so your NO is now a recorded loss, sitting permanently next to your wins, tied to your wallet address, and verifiable by anyone.

Question 10

What makes a track record "unfakeable"?

Accepted Answer

Three things, all enforced by the chain rather than by us. First, every call is timestamped when you sign it, before kickoff, so you can't backdate a prediction after seeing the result. Second, losses are recorded right alongside wins, so you can't quietly delete the calls that missed to inflate your accuracy. Third, each call is signed by your wallet, so you can't claim someone else's winning call as your own. Picture two people who both say they called the upset: on Signal, one has a signed, pre-match record that proves it and the other has nothing. The chain either backs you up or it doesn't. No screenshots, no "trust me."

Question 11

Is my money and track record safe?

Accepted Answer

Signal is self-custodial: your funds stay in your own wallet, not held by the platform, and every action is signed by you. Your track record is written on-chain and cannot be edited or removed by anyone, including us. A third-party security audit of the smart contracts is scheduled ahead of the mainnet launch.

Question 12

How do I withdraw or cash out?

Accepted Answer

Because Signal is self-custodial, your balance lives in your wallet and you can withdraw at any time, with no lock-up and no withdrawal fee. While Signal is on testnet, balances are test USDC with no real-world value.

Question 13

Is Signal available on mainnet?

Accepted Answer

Signal is currently live on Base Sepolia testnet. Mainnet launch details will be announced via our official channels. A third-party security audit of the smart contracts is scheduled ahead of the mainnet launch.
