Every term used across Swipe1 — from Season 0 to the Resolver — defined in plain language. If you are new to how Swipe1 works, start here.
Prediction market
A marketplace where people trade on the outcome of a future event. The price of each outcome reflects the crowd's estimated probability that it will happen. Learn more in this beginner's guide.
Example: A market priced at 65 for "yes" means the crowd sees the event as about 65% likely.
Swipe
The core action on Swipe1. Swipe right to take the yes side of a market, left for no. Each swipe opens a position at the current price.
Example: You swipe right on "Will it rain in London tomorrow?" to back yes.
Season / Season 0
A defined period of play on Swipe1. Season 0 is the Early Access season, during which the earliest users earn Season 0 Points and build the first leaderboard.
Example: Points earned in Season 0 reflect your early contribution to the platform.
Points
The reward you earn for predicting on Swipe1. Points can be multiplied with Boost Cards and grown through referrals, and they determine your leaderboard standing.
Example: Every prediction you make earns Points toward your Season 0 total.
Boost Card
A multiplier you apply to a prediction to increase the Points it earns. Boost Cards come in 3×, 5× and 10× tiers. See Boost Cards explained.
Example: Applying a 10× Boost Card to a high-conviction call multiplies its Points tenfold.
Resolver
The mechanism that settles a market against the real-world outcome once the event is decided, so that correct positions are rewarded. Each market's resolution rules are shown in the app.
Example: After the match ends, the resolver settles the market to yes or no.
Referral program / rebate
Swipe1's growth loop: invite others and earn up to 0.8% in rebates based on their activity. See the referral program guide.
Example: Sharing your link earns you a rebate as the people you invite stay active.
Leaderboard
The public ranking of predictors by Points earned across a season — a live scoreboard and a form of social proof. See the leaderboard.
Example: Consistent, accurate predicting moves you up the leaderboard.
Early Access
Swipe1's current pre-launch stage, where a first community of predictors joins Season 0 before public launch.
Example: Getting Early Access lets you earn Points before the platform opens to everyone.
BNB Chain
The public blockchain Swipe1 is built on, chosen for fast, low-cost transactions. Read why Swipe1 uses BNB Chain.
Example: BNB Chain keeps settling a small prediction fast and cheap.
Polymarket
An established, crypto-native prediction market with an order-book interface. Compared with Swipe1 in this comparison.
Example: Polymarket suits traders who want order-book depth; Swipe1 suits swipe-simple users.
Kalshi
A regulated US exchange offering event contracts, with a traditional exchange interface. Compared with Swipe1 in this comparison.
Example: Kalshi appeals to users who specifically want a regulated US venue.
Position
The stake you hold in a market after you swipe. Taking the yes side opens a yes position; the no side opens a no position. Your position gains or loses value as the market price moves and, ultimately, when the market resolves against the real outcome.
Example: Swiping right on a market at 60 opens a yes position at that price.
Market price
The number, from 0 to 100, that shows how likely the crowd thinks an outcome is — readable like a percentage. It rises as more people back "yes" and falls as more back "no", updating live as information changes. On Swipe1 you read this instead of a chart.
Example: A market price of 72 means the crowd sees the outcome as about 72% likely.
Liquidity
How much activity and money is flowing through a market. More liquidity means prices reflect the crowd more reliably and positions are easier to take. Growing an active community — one reason the referral program exists — is how a young market builds liquidity.
Example: A busy market with lots of predictors has more liquidity than a quiet one.
Airdrop
A distribution of rewards to a project's early or active users. On Swipe1, the Points you earn in Season 0 reflect your early contribution ahead of any airdrop. Exact airdrop terms are always set by Swipe1 and shown in the app.
Example: Farmers track promising airdrops early — see our BNB Chain airdrops roundup.
Mobile-native
Designed for the phone first, rather than a desktop product shrunk onto a small screen. Every Swipe1 interaction — reading a question, swiping a position, checking the leaderboard — is built for one-handed use on a phone.
Example: Swipe1 is mobile-native: the swipe gesture only makes sense on a touchscreen.
