In 12 months, most trading volume on prediction markets won't come from humans clicking buttons. It'll come from agents. You're not manually trading anymore. You're directing a system that never sleeps. Your agent trades. You orchestrate.

I had one conversation with ATLAS. It searched a roster question, placed a trade, and now it's set to alert me when it finds similar markets. Chat first, not chart first. Trading should be just as easy as sending a WhatsApp message.

ATLAS has gone headless! Your agent no longer lives just inside our prediction market. It lives in your Telegram and you can message it to trade on Forkast. Soon it will trade across other prediction markets and DEXes. Your agent shouldn't care where the market lives.

In the next 12 months, agents will drive most prediction market volume. Not bots. Agents with their own wallets, memory, and strategies that adapt. We shipped the first version anyone can use. You talk to it, it trades. Quants had this edge. Now everyone gets an agent.
This is what trading looks like now. No order forms. No tabs. You just tell your agent what you want and it handles the rest. The whole thing took 18 seconds. Creating your own agent takes under a minute. ATLAS is live on Forkast today! 🚀

What your ATLAS agent does today: - Autonomous trade execution, 24/7 - Persistent memory - Chat-based strategy refinement Coming soon: tool use expansion, model routing, headless usage via Telegram. Each piece on its own is a feature. Together they're a trading harness.

Been heads down building ATLAS, a no-code agentic trader you can launch in a few clicks for prediction markets. It runs its own portfolio on @ForkastGG, completes quests, & trades while you orchestrate. Looking for traders to help break v1. Comment if you want early access.

Got the opportunity to judge the @ETHGlobal NY hackathon this weekend. Tons of agent use cases (x402 payments, marketplaces) and a surprising number of teams building on Arc. Exciting to see how fast the agent + onchain stack is maturing. – at Manhattan, NY

If you're looking for fast wins on the TVT leaderboard try trading our 5min BTC/ETH markets. That's 500+ daily markets automatically resolved through our Chainlink CRE integration within 2 mins. Also a great way for new users to place their first trade & complete daily quests.

The game industry might be in a bear market, but I’m still making the yearly pilgrimage to GDC. Forkast is hosting a prediction market mixer with @WolvesDAO. Come by and debate whether GTA6 gets delayed again luma.com/1u1oi5ej

Thanks for having me on @blockchaingmg! Esports continues to be a massively underserved vertical for prediction markets, especially outside the US. Mobile Legends with 4.1M peak concurrent viewers & LoL Worlds with 6.9M. These are global audiences that rival traditional sports.
Forkast CEO Chris Gonsalves on underserved verticals for prediction markets. “We think esports is going to have a huge growth spurt this year. Esports is still massively watched. There are record viewership numbers and most of this isn’t coming from the US.”

TODAY: Mag7 earnings & the Fed is likely to pause rate cuts Nothing feels worse as an options trader than being right about your thesis but the stock still moves against you Our next-day performance and metric markets lets you trade on the specific outcome traders care about👇
Big earnings week. MSFT, TSLA, and META report today at 4pm ET. A lot of opinions. A lot of markets open.

The most underrated prediction market boom isn't in sports or politics, it’s in stock trading. Everyone has a take on Big Tech earnings, but while traders use options to hedge against uncertainty, PMs offer a distinct advantage. They’re easier to understand and allow you to trade on the exact outcomes you care about.
Big Tech markets are live. Microsoft, Apple, Meta, Amazon, Mag7 earnings week is coming. Will they close green after the reports? Will they beat their most important metrics?
