# Product Vision

> The future of social prediction - what we're building

# Product Vision

Hunch envisions a world where predicting the future is as natural as scrolling social media. Our platform transforms prediction markets from a niche financial tool into a mainstream social experience.

## Core Experience: Swipe-to-Predict

The Hunch interface centers on an infinitely scrollable feed of prediction cards. Users encounter questions about politics, sports, crypto, entertainment, and current events.

<Steps>
  <Step title="See a Question">
    "Will Bitcoin hit \$100K by December?"
  </Step>

  <Step title="Swipe Right for YES">
    Confident it will happen
  </Step>

  <Step title="Swipe Left for NO">
    Betting against it
  </Step>

  <Step title="Swipe Up to Skip">
    Not interested, next card
  </Step>
</Steps>

This mechanic reduces the cognitive load of prediction markets to a single intuitive gesture.

## Social Layer

Predictions are inherently social. Hunch builds on this by creating a full social graph around forecasting:

| ----------- | ------------------------------------ | ---------------------- |
| Personal    | "Will I finish this book by Friday?" | Creator resolves       |
| Community   | Crowd-sourced questions              | Community verification |
| Creator     | Influencer-branded predictions       | Verified resolution    |

## Live & In-Play Betting

Real-time prediction markets for live events represent a massive opportunity:

* **Sports**: In-game predictions with dynamic odds
* **Entertainment**: Live show outcomes, award ceremonies
* **Crypto**: Real-time price movement predictions
* **News**: Breaking news outcome predictions

Live markets drive engagement intensity and session frequency, creating habitual usage patterns.

## Fiat On-Ramp

To achieve mainstream adoption, Hunch will integrate seamless fiat-to-crypto conversion:
