Today, we are opening the waitlist to be the first to experience Linera Markets, a prediction market testnet application designed for short-duration markets that resolve in minutes. Linera Markets allows for capitalizing on short term volatility with one-, three-, and five-minute rolling crypto markets that operate continuously. Simply predict if your chosen market’s price settles higher or lower than it opened. When one resolves, the next opens.

What is Linera Markets

Linera Markets opens with fast-settling crypto price markets:

• Assets: BTC, ETH, SOL

• Durations: 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes

• Format: Higher or lower relative to the opening price

• Operation: 24/7 rolling markets

Each market locks, resolves, and immediately reopens. Testnet capital becomes available again in real-time, enabling sessions that feel more like continuous play rather than isolated, one-off positions.

Faster settlement unlocks higher capital velocity, streak-based strategies, and more dynamic pool observation as users place positions in the moments before lock.

All markets launch with parimutuel pricing, providing simple, transparent payouts (currently in testnet tokens) without market makers or liquidity seeding. Odds adjust as pools update, and winners split the pot.

Why Linera

Linera Markets is built on the Linera blockchain, which uses a microchain architecture designed for parallel execution. This enables markets to resolve quickly and independently, even under load. Our goal is to introduce an entirely new category: high-frequency prediction games that settle in minutes.

The Pre-Mainnet Phase

Linera Markets allows users to trade with GMIC, a resettable, ephemeral testnet token. In this first iteration:

• Everyone starts with the same GMIC balance for each competition period

• Performance  and streaks earn leaderboard placements

• Placements generate Portal Points, a continued incentive towards Mainnet

• Weekly tournaments award USDC prizes

• GMIC resets for each tournament so everyone starts from equal footing

The best performers will see success through consistency, streaks, and smart capital management.

Meet m0x

Recently, Linera introduced m0x, our official chain mascot. Our mascot m0x acts as a real-time referee for market integrity (Parts 1 and 2 of m0x’s story here). Soon, m0x will also go fully agentic, serving as the backbone of Linera’s competition layer. It’ll be able to engage with Linerans on X, and even manage events.

Our goal, is to build m0x so that it will takeover:

• Free tournaments with equal GMIC allocations

• Real-time leaderboard analysis across PnL and streaks

• Portal Point assignment based on performance

• USDC prize distribution in select events

We’re extremely excited to introduce you to agentic @linera_m0x more formally soon.

What’s next

Our roadmap has evolved from building the foundation to executing a core consumer product. In the near term, our focus is on launching the first version of Linera Markets and establishing tournament play. From there, we’ll expand the types of tokens available and enhance the experience with new UI improvements, agentic support and new engagement layers. Over time, Linera Markets will grow into a broader environment for high-frequency prediction experiences across more categories.

Our goal remains clear on delivering Linera Markets to mainnet, converting weekly tournament place using testnet currency to real money predictions and events. Points accrued during our testnets will flow into mainnet incentives, all pushing Linera closer to TGE.

Linera Markets is built specifically for markets that resolve at a fast pace. A different tempo. A different surface area. A different kind of market experience. Built for those seeking lightning fast predictions and a 24/7 playground to train and fine tune their agents.
