It would be difficult to overstate our gratitude to all who have lately joined our company. Short of any grand announcements it has been an industrious week;
Passengers can soon expect to see Program updates preparing for multi-seat Wagers with parimutuel payouts.

"PHP? No sir, this Riverboat is 100% on-chain and crypto-graphically protected... No backend, you see, it really is state-of-the-art technology! Yessir we have two public security audits for the core protocol... Indeed! Here's your ticket sir, welcome aboard!"

A small announcement:
In the interest of solidarity with new adherents, we have seen fit to lock the majority of our shares—five percent—in the Riverboat Gambler token until next year. Cheers!

few people asking about @riverboat_x so quick tldr
the hyperliquid thesis for prediction markets - re think the underlying mechanism rather than build another polymarket
@gskwxyz spent 5 years on the maths, prediction theory and mechanism design behind it
removes much of the reliance on traditional liquidity, but the bigger opportunity imo is beyond prediction markets
private forecasting, agent evals, paid signals and eventually figuring out whose judgement is actually worth trusting
as intelligence gets cheaper, good judgement becomes more valuable
thats the real bet for me

Forthcoming features in roughly chronological order:
- Dark mode and an update to how Notifications work (v1.32),
- At least one essay, likely two, on the fundamental points of departure between Gambling and Prediction as we see them,
- Contracts supporting multiple outcomes, alongside group Wagers with a simple parimutuel payout mechanism (v1.4),
- Our @predicttime_ presentation in the "non-Polymarket" cohort, and
- Partnership announcements, contingent on successful implementation.
The Odds are good—
You can keep ignoring @riverboat_x $RIVERBOAT and make a big mistake.
#Parimutuel #betting, a twist on binary results. Resolution was the final piece to the puzzle as they are always a big challenge but this partnership closes the circle.
Congrats @gskwxyz

In lockstep with our central theses, we are beginning to see the outlines of a truly decentralized market for Resolution;
Our friend Fabian's work dovetails with and echoes our own designs, for a network that anticipates and ascertains the future—
Good things to come!
Smart contracts are deterministic.
Disputes are not.
That’s why I brought native on-chain arbitration to @solana with Accord.
Random jurors. Transparent process. Binding on-chain verdicts.
Code handles execution. Humans handle judgment.

Natural evolutions en route to Mainnet Beta: group Wagers with multiple outcomes and parimutuel payouts, suitable for one-offs or even tournament formats;
A "dark mode" for those who prefer to trade by candlelight??—

For newcomers interested in the origins of Riverboat, this was one of earliest prototypes we developed to address the liquidity problems associated with the conventional orderbook model.
Various nascent ideas embedded deeper in the thread—

Mainnet Alpha v1.31 Release Notes—
• Aesthetic and organizational updates to Profile page.
• The "Trending" algorithm for featured Wagers has been modernized & updated to prioritize recency and volume on a decay-curve.
No changes to either Solana program.
Cheers,

Anyone looking for a beta play to $TRUE on Solana should be looking at $RIVERBOAT , exceptional tech and founder @riverboat_x
Still in stealth mode.

jez = right
prediction markets increasingly look like theyre converging on sportsbooks
makes me wonder what they look like if betting isnt actually the end state - already seeing glimpses of entirely different directions
one that stands out feels like the hyperliquid thesis for prediction markets - rebuild the underlying market mechanism from first principles rather than build another venue around the same design
theres a seriously technical dev behind it 5 years deep in prediction theory, mechanism design & the math underneath it
no orderbooks / market makers, less dependent on liquidity, beliefs expressed directly & rewarded for calibration
a primitive this different opens a much larger design space - private enterprise forecasting, agent evals, paid signal & entirely new markets built around uncertainty
