developed DutchX, a using batch auctions to prevent front-running and ensure fair price discovery. George highlighted that DEXs offer users full control over their assets and the ability to list any token, unlike which face regulatory constraints.

Prediction Markets

He said one of the significant challenges in prediction markets is liquidity. Providing liquidity is capital-intensive and only profitable with sufficient trading activity, which is hard to predict and often leads to losses. Market making requires sophisticated algorithms, especially for recurring events like elections or sports, and existing automated market makers are not as effective as specialized algorithms.

George highlighted the potential of AI to transform prediction markets. Humans struggle to assign precise probabilities to complex outcomes, but AI can handle detailed predictions. has been using various AI models on the Gnosis Chain to improve prediction accuracy. The introduction of multiple AI models competing in the market enhances accuracy, increases liquidity, and opens up many new prediction markets. [8]
