How many distinct market types will Manifold support by the end of Q3?

Ṁ311

Ṁ100

resolved Oct 5

Resolved

ALL

Today we have Yes/No, Numeric, and Free response. New types we're considering:

Date markets: "When will Anthony's next game launch?"
Fixed multi-category markets: "Will Alice, Bob, or Carol win the race?"
Futures: "What will Solana be worth on Aug 1?"
Perp swaps: "Price of Solana in USD"

Plus, if we start on https://manifoldmarkets.notion.site/Smart-Contracts-on-Web2-ccc9b13eb5a748d69b4a6c5624812d60

, we might have a giant influx of new market types.

We might also decide to remove one or some of these, of course!

bought Ṁ10 of LOWER

I'm assuming you don't count continued support of numeric markets by duplicating existing ones.

@MartinRandall Yup, that's correct. Basically will resolve to the number of different options from the /create page

Idea: Bounty markets/discussions Those do not have any resolution criteria, but share that the author says "I'll tip X if this happens" (for instance "I will give M$100 to people who make me see a flaw in this argument" or "I will give at least X for good game recommendation") I think this would work way better than brainstorming free response markets are doing now

bought Ṁ0 of HIGHER

@JoyVoid Bounties would be super useful! I'm imagining someone putting up a bounty for some feature or bug fix, and others adding to it until someone claims it

I can definitely create a bunch of date markets the second they get added.

What's the difference between futures and numeric?

I think "Will Alice, Bob, or Carol win the race" does not need a specific market type, it should be multi-category and then the author manually disables via checkbox whether or not to allow for users input
