You will lose money here. Everyone does, everywhere. The difference is that here, the math is visible.General Market is a protocol for index products, prediction markets, and DeFi lending — running on a custom Arbitrum Orbit L3 with sub-second finality and near-zero gas. It is 8 services, 29 smart contracts, 2 EVM chains, 90+ real-world data sources, and a bot framework. One does not build all this because it is wise. One builds it because the alternative — trusting someone else’s spreadsheet — is worse.

Baskets of up to 100 crypto assets. Each Dex Traded Fund (DTF) is an ERC-4626 vault priced by a NAV formula that hides nothing. Orders pass through BLS consensus and execute on real exchanges. No AMM. No slippage. No illusions about liquidity.
Vision
Prediction markets on 90+ real-world data sources. Transport delays, power outages, weather, GitHub commits, energy prices. You bet on whether the Paris Metro will be late. It usually is. Sealed bets, parimutuel payouts, BLS-verified resolution.
Lending
Morpho-powered lending on Arbitrum. Deposit USDC to earn yield from borrowers who believe their collateral will hold. Use DTF shares to borrow USDC against positions you cannot bring yourself to sell.
Every system is an act of faith in its own plumbing. These are the pipes.
Data Node
A Rust service that aggregates 90+ data sources into one API. Crypto prices, transport delays, energy grids, weather stations, GitHub activity. It feeds NAV computation, market resolution, backtesting, and anomaly detection. The nervous system of the protocol. It never sleeps, because the world does not.
Bridge
Moves assets between the Index L3 and Arbitrum. DTF shares cross as standard ERC-20 tokens, composable with DeFi on the other side. Two chains, one position. The bridge is the part you forget about until it matters.
Explorer
System health dashboard. Oracle node status, consensus metrics, data source monitoring, fee tracking. The control tower. The place you visit when things are working, to reassure yourself they still are.
Bot Framework
Python trading bots for Vision markets. Register on-chain through the BotRegistry. Build strategies programmatically. The machines trade while you sleep, which is either a comfort or a terror.
Points System
Season 1 rewards. Earn points for trading DTFs, placing bets, supplying liquidity. Points track engagement. Whether engagement deserves tracking is a question the protocol does not ask.
Social Bot
Anomaly detection across 90+ sources. When something unusual happens — a transit collapse, a grid failure, a weather event — it posts to Twitter/X. Attention follows catastrophe. Markets follow attention.
The full architecture — contract inventory, data flows, infrastructure layout — lives on the System Architecture page. It is longer than this one. Most architectures are.
Every protocol is a set of opinions disguised as infrastructure. These are ours.
