Unhedged

Unhedged positions itself as a private-by-default alternative to public prediction markets. The product focuses on short-term event markets where users can take views on sports, crypto prices, esports, economic events, politics, and entertainment without broadcasting their wallet activity to other traders.

The project frames the core problem as market transparency becoming a liability: on public prediction markets, a trader's position can reveal their research, conviction, and bet size. Unhedged uses Canton Network privacy to make prediction-market trading less exposed while preserving market-based forecasting.

• Private by default: positions and trading activity are not visible to other users.
• Fast settlement: markets resolve quickly, with payouts credited to the platform balance when markets settle.
• Broad market coverage across sports, crypto, esports, economics, politics, and entertainment.
• Wallet-first onboarding with Loop, Console, and Phantom wallet support.
• Supports $CC tokens and Solana USDC via Phantom for deposits.
• Time-weighted payout design rewards earlier correct predictions proportionally more.

Unhedged builds on Canton because prediction markets benefit directly from privacy at the transaction and position level. Canton gives the platform a way to support private trading activity and institutional-grade settlement while still operating inside a blockchain-based market environment.

In the Canton ecosystem, Unhedged is listed as a featured app and validator with network utility across exchanges and liquidity, making it one of the more consumer-facing applications showing how Canton privacy can support real trading workflows.

Unhedged's main differentiator is privacy. Rather than making every wallet position and trade visible to the market, it is designed so users can express conviction without turning their activity into public alpha for copy-traders or front-runners.

The platform also combines Canton-native privacy with Solana access through Phantom, giving users a familiar route to fund with USDC while trading on the same private prediction markets.

Market Categories

Unhedged supports prediction markets across sports, esports, crypto, economics, politics, and entertainment. Examples listed on the site include NBA, NFL, Premier League, La Liga, Champions League, UFC/MMA, Formula 1, MLB, NHL, CS2, Dota 2, League of Legends, and Valorant.

Wallets and Funding

Users can connect with Loop, Console, or Phantom. The onboarding page describes deposits using $CC tokens or USDC through Phantom, with deposits detected automatically.

Trading Mechanics

Unhedged uses time-weighted payouts, where earlier bets on the correct outcome earn proportionally more. Once markets resolve, winnings are credited to the user's platform balance and can be withdrawn.

The platform pairs a prediction-market front end with wallet authentication, deposits, market resolution, payouts, leaderboards, and creator-oriented market activity. Its privacy model is intended to keep user positions and bet sizes from becoming public trading signals.

Unhedged gives the Canton ecosystem a live consumer trading application where privacy is not just a compliance feature but part of the user value proposition. It demonstrates how Canton can support prediction markets, trading privacy, wallet-based onboarding, liquidity, and fast settlement in a single app experience.

Earning opportunities come from making correct predictions, time-weighted payouts, platform leaderboards, and active reward campaigns when available.

Unhedged runs active market and trader campaigns through its app, Telegram community, X profile, achievements, and leaderboards. Recent public updates are also teasing Phantom wallet onboarding, with a promotion around depositing Solana USDC, placing a first trade, and earning $CC rewards as the feature rolls out. Users should check the live app and official social channels before participating because reward terms can change quickly.

The public product surface points toward continued expansion of markets, leagues, wallet access, achievements, creator tools, and reward programs. Unhedged is also highlighting Canton privacy and Solana/Phantom access as key growth paths for onboarding prediction-market traders.
