Ready for real-world speculation, amplified? Moonlander Leveraged Prediction Trading — an exciting frontier where speculation meets real-world events, supercharged by high leverage and powered by lightning-fast settlement. Whether you’re betting on Bitcoin hitting new heights, election outcomes, or major sports events, Moonlander gives you the tools and transparency to trade confidently and instantly.

**What is it?**

Leveraged Prediction Trading lets you speculate on whether real-world events will happen within specified timeframes, with the option to amplify your gains (and risks) through leverage. Unlike traditional prediction markets that settle well after events conclude, Moonlander’s innovative approach uses live data aggregated from the most trusted prediction sources to settle positions in near-real-time.

This means you experience the thrill of fast-paced trading, making moves based on unfolding events and market sentiment — not long waits for final official resolutions.

**How it works?**

Our proprietary in-house oracle pulls live prices from multiple reputable prediction markets, aggregating them into a single reliable index for each supported event. This index drives the price you trade on and determines market settlement, ensuring transparency and fairness.

When you open a position, just like regular perp trading where you can either long or short, set your leverage, collateral, and risk controls like take-profit and stop-loss. Market prices indicate the perceived probability of an event happening, as interpreted by traders. You’ll be bound by a **minimum holding period** before you can manually close, but **positions can be liquidated immediately if risk limits are breached**.<br>

Markets close either on a scheduled expiry or if a price threshold is met and sustained, with all closure reasons and settlement prices clearly displayed.

**Why Moonlander?**

Moonlander is built on the robust Cronos EVM and zkEVM blockchains, combining high speed, low fees, and strong security to help you trade smarter. We offer:

* Instant and transparent settlement based on live aggregated market signals
* A diverse set of event-driven markets easily discovered and traded alongside standard perpetual pairs
* Clear risk management rules including minimum holding periods and liquidations

If you’re looking for a faster, fairer, and more thrilling way to play the markets, Moonlander offers exactly that.
