# General Predictions

> This section details the process for setting up general prediction markets, where participants can predict and trade outcomes on any topic - from politics and sports to entertainment and world events.

### General Prediction Markets

Create prediction markets on any topic - sport, politics, tech, bitcoin, culture, and more.
Settlement: Perplexity + Grok

### Step 1: Choose Your Market Type

Select "General Markets" from the available market types to create custom prediction markets on any topic.

### Step 2: Define Your Question

Craft a clear, unambiguous prediction question that can be definitively resolved.
Your question should have a specific outcome and deadline.

**Best Practices:**

* Make questions binary (Yes/No) or with clear multiple choice options
* Set specific, measurable criteria
* Define a clear resolution date
* Avoid ambiguous language

### Step 3: Set Prediction Parameters

Define the parameters for your prediction market:

**Example Questions:**

* "Will Bitcoin reach \$100,000 by December 31, 2025?"
* "Will the next US Presidential election be won by a Democrat?"
* "Will Apple announce a new product category in 2025?"
* "Will any team score over 50 points in the Super Bowl 2026?"

Choose your market category (Politics, Sports, Entertainment, Technology, Finance, etc.)
Set the resolution date and time

### Market Settlement

Markets settle based on the defined criteria when the prediction timeframe ends.
Settlement is done through Perplexity + Grok verification, which:

* Searches and analyzes reliable data sources
* Cross-references multiple information streams
* Verifies outcomes against predefined criteria
* Provides transparent reasoning for the settlement decision

The settlement process ensures accuracy by leveraging both Perplexity's search capabilities and Grok's analytical reasoning.

### Popular Use Cases

* Political elections and policy outcomes
* Sports championships and player performance
* Entertainment awards and box office predictions
* Technology product launches and company milestones
* Economic indicators and market movements
* Weather events and natural phenomena
* Celebrity and pop culture predictions
