Starting with @AugusLSN (@AugurProject) on the difference between prediction markets and gambling: "In a casino, the house always extracts. In a sportsbook, the odds are negative-EV by design A real prediction market is an open order book. Nobody inside the protocol has a privileged position over you" And on whales pushing the odds in their own favour: "Sure, with enough money you can push 40% to 80% But lying to a prediction market means putting your money on the table for everyone else to take"

We’re glad to share this one. @krakenfx has been one of Augur’s longest-standing exchange partners, including during its hibernation. We’re grateful for their support of REP holders and for their broader commitment to decentralized, open-source software. The space could use more of that. REP holders on Kraken are covered. You don’t have to do anything. The migration will happen automatically on their end. support.kraken.com/articles/…

GM. Lituus Labs is proposing a new Augur. A modular, cross-chain oracle — open to any use case, not just prediction markets. Pay a fee. Ask a question. Get decentralized truth. Read the proposal and share your thoughts 👇 medium.com/@lituusfoundation…

gm. Augur is Back. The Lituus Foundation is reviving Augur, the pioneering decentralized oracle that brought crypto prediction markets to life. Augur’s oracle ensures economic security with a decentralized system of incentives. $REP holders compete in a permissionless, trustless escalation game where honesty is the most profitable action. As prediction markets scale into the billions, the risks of censorship and manipulation grow. Augur solves this with a specialized, immutable oracle—free from corruptible councils or emergency backstops. Without it, the potential of prediction markets to deliver unbiased information remains limited. Two development teams are leading the charge: Lituus Labs(@AugusLSN): Will apply new technology and learnings to modernize and improve the oracle, starting with exploring a low-fee L2 deployment. Dark Florists(@MicahZoltu): Committed to building censorship-resistant prediction tools on Ethereum Mainnet, their first initiative will be an AMM-like streamlining of the trading experience. We invite developers, thinkers, and contributors to join us on this journey. Let’s shape the future of informational finance together — decentralized, permissionless, and unstoppable. Come join the discord and get involved!
