Into:Djinn
Buy intelligence you can trust.
As of · Jun 4, 10:37 UTC
An encrypted prediction marketplace where analysts sell signals that nobody, not even the platform, can ever see. Track records are cryptographically verifiable. The protocol runs itself.
What is Djinn
Djinn is a marketplace for buying and selling predictions, primarily for sports betting right now. Analysts (called "Geniuses") post encrypted predictions with collateral locked up as a guarantee. Buyers (called "Idiots") purchase access to those signals based on the analyst's provable track record, without ever seeing the actual picks until they pay.
The simple version: Imagine a tipster marketplace where the tips are sealed in cryptographic envelopes. You can verify the tipster's past win rate without seeing any individual tip. When you pay, only your envelope opens. The marketplace operator never sees any of the tips.
Centralized equivalent: Think Cappers or Action Network, but the platform can't steal signals, fake track records, or front-run your bets.
How it works:
- ("Geniuses") verify real-time betting line availability using TLSNotary proofs, confirming that odds are actually available at the stated price.
- hold fragments of encryption keys using Shamir secret sharing. They coordinate multi-party computation (MPC) to decrypt signals only for verified buyers, and they attest game outcomes through consensus.
Why This Matters
- The problem it solves: Prediction marketplaces are plagued by fake track records, signal theft, and platform manipulation. There's no way to prove your picks are real without revealing them, and no way to buy tips without trusting the seller.
- The opportunity: The global sports betting market generates hundreds of billions annually. Verified analyst signals are a premium product with no trustworthy marketplace.
- The Bittensor advantage: Decentralized key management means no single entity can access signals. Validators collectively hold encryption keys, so compromising one node reveals nothing. This is security through architecture, not policy.
- Traction signals: 853 commits across 3 contributors with 85+ commits per week in the last month. 1,183 automated tests (857 validator, 326 miner). deployed on Base chain. Public web attestation service live at djinn.gg/attest. Jason Calacanis highlighted the team as "very legit" by Mark Jeffrey.
