You ask, we answer
From AI to market data, we break it down—clear, simple answers to what you’re actually wondering.
About Kash
What is Kash?
Kash is a social prediction‑market protocol that turns real‑time narratives—news, memes, events—into 24‑hour, fully‑on‑chain “flash markets”. Users can trade binary outcomes, earn liquidity fees, and redeem winnings trustlessly.
What problem does Kash solve?
Traditional prediction venues struggle with liquidity, slow resolution and limited event coverage. Kash’s on‑the‑fly AMM and oracle automate market creation, funding and settlement, enabling deep liquidity for any topic within a day.
How will you compete with incumbents such as Polymarket?
Kash will capitalise on its unique positioning and control of the top of the funnel platforms (X and other social media platforms) to redirect the growing influx of potential prediction markets users as well as current users of our competitors straight to Kash. And they never have to leave X. Kash’s deep embedding in social media hijacks the platforms where users already spend hours every day, and its AI-based prediction surfacing ensures each user’s engagement loop that encourages repeat use is uniquely compelling, highly personalised, emotionally resonant, and hard to break. Kash doesn’t just tap into betting mechanics, it reinvents them for the algorithmic attention economy, setting Kash up to own the content layer, the decision layer, and the reward layer where others have fragmented experiences that lead to a loss of Kick Factor.
How big is the prediction markets sector, really?
Prediction Markets are expected to grow at an even more accelerated rate than the entire blockchain field itself, from $1B last year (2024), to over $50B by 2030.
How are protocol revenues used?
Collected fees feed four modules: Treasury — capital management to grow protocol reserves. Paymaster — subsidises gas so end‑users enjoy fee‑less UX. Smart‑Burn — monthly buy‑backs of the $KASH token. Community Rewards — incentives for traders, LPs and referrers.

Technology
Does the protocol take any fees?
- Yes, the Kash charges 2.5% on the TVL from every market right before the market settles and profits get distributed to winners. - All Kash protocol fees flow to the community and can be used to further grow and enhance the ecosystem through token buy-backs, open engagements and gamified tournaments or campaigns, for example. - The Kash protocol fully sponsors gas fees for users, including fees associated to trading and to depositing / withdrawing funds.
How does Kash ensure initial liquidity to new markets?
Kash jump-starts every fresh market with an ERC-4626 “Passive-LP Vault.” USDC deposited by risk-averse LPs is automatically injected—via a rebalancing Uniswap v4 hook—into a tight, information-neutral YES/NO liquidity band. Because the vault continually recentres around the spot price, it carries no directional exposure: at resolution it withdraws the same principal plus swap-fee yield, guaranteeing depth for traders from block 1 without subsidy or impermanent-loss risk.
What happens to wallet if @kash_bot or the user’s X account gets hacked?
**Nothing can leave the smart-wallet unless *your* key-share co-signs the transaction.** - **Self-custody via Privy MPC** – funds sit in an ERC-4337 account that requires two signatures: yours (derived from your Privy key-share) + the account’s on-chain validation logic. - **X-only hack:** If someone hijacks your X handle, they gain *messaging* access, but they cannot produce the cryptographic signature Privy holds—any attempt to bet, swap or withdraw reverts. Reset your Twitter and the link remains intact. - **Bot hack:** Even if the public @kash_bot backend were compromised, the attacker still lacks your key-share; fake instructions can be posted, but the EntryPoint contract rejects them without your signature. - **Safeguards:** - Session-key spending limits & rate-limits cap any pre-authorised actions. - You can instantly rotate/recall your key-share via Privy recovery, invalidating any stale session keys. **Result***:* deposits stay untouched; worst case is nuisance spam, not fund loss.

Market mechanics
Is every YES token fully backed by USDC at the moment it is minted?
Yes. The new bonding‑curve AMM escrows the full USDC price of every freshly‑minted YES in the reserve. This design guarantees that, at settlement, all outstanding winning tokens can be redeemed 1‑for‑1, without depending on later order‑flow or external liquidity.
Do LPs lose money if only one side of the market (e.g. YES) is ever traded and it wins?
No. Liquidity providers deposit balanced token pairs into the curve. If only YES is minted and ultimately wins, the losing NO tokens held by the pool expire worthless, leaving behind their USDC backing. That residual balance is distributed as LP yield and protocol fees, so LPs recover their principal plus earnings rather than taking a loss.
What happens to the unredeemed (losing) tokens at expiry? Are they a source of yield?
When the market resolves, the contract automatically burns the losing side. The backing USDC for those burnt tokens remains in the reserve, creating surplus value. After a small protocol fee (currently ≈3 %) the surplus is allocated to LPs as yield.
What is the typical LP yield over a standard 24‑hour “flash” market?
Yields fluctuate with volume, leverage usage and directional imbalance. Historically, balanced markets with moderate flow return ≈ 0.05 % of TVL per day (≈ 20 % APR). Yields rise in high‑skew or high‑volatility sessions because trades execute at wider spreads and generate larger surpluses.
How does price discovery work if traders can mint the side they prefer without a direct counterparty?
The curve uses a continuous product‑invariant formula. Each buy mints a matched YES+NO pair, transfers the desired side to the trader and retains the opposite side in the reserve. This automatically shifts the token ratio inside the pool and re‑prices the market to reflect cumulative demand—no human market‑maker is required.
In heavily one‑sided markets, can unlimited YES be injected and distort pricing?
Economic incentives, not hard caps, keep the system balanced. As the YES price approaches certainty (e.g. $0.99) new buyers face diminishing upside, while arbitrageurs are attracted to the under‑priced NO. Empirically, spreads tighten around extremes without external intervention, and the curve’s slippage profile discourages infinite minting.
How do traders redeem winnings at settlement?
When the oracle finalises the outcome, the contract: → Locks the pool to freeze trading. → Burns all losing tokens. → Enables redeem(): holders of the winning side exchange each token for 1 USDC held in the reserve. → Redemption is fully permissionless and can be triggered by anyone; funds arrive instantly in the user’s wallet.
Where does trader profit come from—holding to expiry or secondary trading?
Both. Buying YES at $0.70 and holding through a correct resolution yields a fixed 30 % return. Active traders can also capture interim price moves (e.g. buy at $0.70, sell at $0.85). Each style adds volume and LP fees.
What happens to surplus USDC after losing tokens are burned?
Surplus = Reserve − (Winning Tokens × 1 USDC). The flow is: 3 % protocol fee → DAO treasury (gas sponsorship, token buy‑backs, community rewards). Remainder → Returned to LPs pro‑rata as yield.
How is this AMM different from earlier prototypes that wrapped Uniswap v4 hooks?
Purpose‑built curve — a bespoke bonding curve optimised for 24 h flash markets, rather than retro‑fitting a constant‑product pool. Native 2× leverage — sustainable margin built into the pricing kernel. No external liquidity bootstrap — markets can launch without seed USDC because buys instantly provision their own backing. Lower on‑chain footprint — fewer external calls than a v4‑hook architecture, reducing gas and MEV surface.
Does the AMM require seed liquidity?
No. The first trade simultaneously injects depth and sets an opening price. This “lazy‑funding” approach means any prediction can go live in seconds without capital‑heavy market‑makers.
What oracle secures settlement?
Kash uses a zkTLS‑verified oracle that ingests authenticated data feeds and AI‑audited adjudication. Resolution is fully trust‑minimised and censorship‑resistant.
Can markets be manipulated by whales?
Price calculations rely on a multi‑block time‑weighted average, making single‑block spoofing unprofitable. Additionally, extreme skews invite arbitrage that quickly restores fair odds.
Does Kash support leverage?
Yes. Traders may optionally post 50 % margin for a 2× exposure. The margin engine is native to the curve and pays out in‑line with spot tokens at settlement.

Legal & regulations
If the Kash Foundation disappears, would the Kash Protocol hold up and continue operating?
**Yes, absolutely.** The Foundation holds only **community‐focused, educational and sponsorship roles**—without any authority over **smart contract deployment, on-chain governance, treasury control or oracle resolution**—so its dissolution would not interrupt the Protocol's code or the DAO's governance mechanisms. All **critical functions** (market creation, upgrades, fee routing and oracle selection) are executed **purely on-chain** under KashDAO's fully decentralised, permissionless and disintermediated **token-governed framework**, and the live contracts remain **immutable and upgradable only through governance**, irrespective of any off-chain entity's status. Meanwhile, the **open-source license** from Blockritaze (MIT/AGPL) ensures that all protocol software can be forked or reassigned, removing any dependence on Blockritaze, the Kash Foundation or any other third parties for code access. Protocol fees flow directly into the **DAO's on-chain treasury** (in USDC), and users **self-custody their funds at all times**; because the Foundation never held treasury tokens or operated any front-end trading interface, its shutdown is legally and operationally immaterial to KashDAO and the Kash Protocol.

Product & positioning
Can the user obtain real-time market information?
Yes, the user can simply click on kash_bot’s generated image on the prediction markets post to be quickly directed to an X in-app pop-up with real-time market information.
What is Kash’s reliance on X automation rules (bot)?
ccording to X’s automation policies Bots that are **clearly labeled**, **non-abusive**, and **provide value** will remain part of the X ecosystem. Kash will not be at risk of being banned so long as it does not: - Send unsolicited replies or DMs - Execute coordinated manipulation (e.g., political bots or disinformation networks) - Break API usage limits or scrape excessively - Impersonate real people or brands All of the above and more have been taken into consideration when designing the product to ensure Kash does not conflict with any existing or potential new X policies. Our legal and technology teams are on alert for any changes in X’s policies; that said, these haven’t been changed since 2017, even after Elon Musk's X redo, suggesting this is unlikely to change in any significant way. It's worth mentioning that , in the medium to long-term, Kash’s reliance on X will significantly decrease as the protocol expands onto Reddit, Telegram, Discord, Twitch, and other platforms.
Is Kash a middleware or broker to Polymarket?
No, Kash is a fully independent, decentralized, autonomous protocol with its own infrastructure to create markets, hold capital, resolve markets, and distribute winnings. It also features a deeply integrated token at the core of its community.
Do you have a centralised platform?
No, Kash's front-end is a static website for informational and educational purposes only. The only way to interact with kash_bot is through social media platforms like X. This ensures full decentralisation and disintermediation of the protocol while fully embracing our vision that prediction markets should be embedded into social media and accessible by anyone.
Can you trust AI to create and resolve markets ?
**Generally, yes.** Although AI inner-weight/layers/architecture may be something of a blackbox, Kash’s open source oracle network fully solves this issue by: - Making the models open source, simple and auditable. - Publishing the agents chain of thoughts and reasoning process (which is already more than what you would expect from a humnan operator). - Publishes a zero-knowledge proof attestation that it was indeed the specified AI and weights that run the agentic tasks to create or resolve the market. - Kash’s oracle network further proves that the information used the create or resolve the markets come from the intended trusted website, the integrity of the data and a cryptographic proof that the data has not been tampered with. This enables the Kash protocol to have the most advanced, secure, decentralised and trustless prediction market oracle network there is, a cornerstone to becoming the worlds largest public good when it comes to collective truth.

How big is the prediction markets sector, really?
Prediction Markets are expected to grow at an even more accelerated rate than the entire blockchain field itself, from $1B last year (2024), to over $50B by 2030.
How are protocol revenues used?
Collected fees feed four modules: Treasury — capital management to grow protocol reserves. Paymaster — subsidises gas so end‑users enjoy fee‑less UX. Smart‑Burn — monthly buy‑backs of the $KASH token. Community Rewards — incentives for traders, LPs and referrers.
Can the user obtain real-time market information?
Yes, the user can simply click on kash_bot’s generated image on the prediction markets post to be quickly directed to an X in-app pop-up with real-time market information.
What is Kash’s reliance on X automation rules (bot)?
ccording to X’s automation policies Bots that are **clearly labeled**, **non-abusive**, and **provide value** will remain part of the X ecosystem. Kash will not be at risk of being banned so long as it does not: - Send unsolicited replies or DMs - Execute coordinated manipulation (e.g., political bots or disinformation networks) - Break API usage limits or scrape excessively - Impersonate real people or brands All of the above and more have been taken into consideration when designing the product to ensure Kash does not conflict with any existing or potential new X policies. Our legal and technology teams are on alert for any changes in X’s policies; that said, these haven’t been changed since 2017, even after Elon Musk's X redo, suggesting this is unlikely to change in any significant way. It's worth mentioning that , in the medium to long-term, Kash’s reliance on X will significantly decrease as the protocol expands onto Reddit, Telegram, Discord, Twitch, and other platforms.
Is Kash a middleware or broker to Polymarket?
No, Kash is a fully independent, decentralized, autonomous protocol with its own infrastructure to create markets, hold capital, resolve markets, and distribute winnings. It also features a deeply integrated token at the core of its community.
Do you have a centralised platform?
No, Kash's front-end is a static website for informational and educational purposes only. The only way to interact with kash_bot is through social media platforms like X. This ensures full decentralisation and disintermediation of the protocol while fully embracing our vision that prediction markets should be embedded into social media and accessible by anyone.
Can you trust AI to create and resolve markets ?
**Generally, yes.** Although AI inner-weight/layers/architecture may be something of a blackbox, Kash’s open source oracle network fully solves this issue by: - Making the models open source, simple and auditable. - Publishing the agents chain of thoughts and reasoning process (which is already more than what you would expect from a humnan operator). - Publishes a zero-knowledge proof attestation that it was indeed the specified AI and weights that run the agentic tasks to create or resolve the market. - Kash’s oracle network further proves that the information used the create or resolve the markets come from the intended trusted website, the integrity of the data and a cryptographic proof that the data has not been tampered with. This enables the Kash protocol to have the most advanced, secure, decentralised and trustless prediction market oracle network there is, a cornerstone to becoming the worlds largest public good when it comes to collective truth.
