futurefun winds down on August 31, 2026.
The prediction market ecosystem, as it stands today, is not one we want to operate in. The space is dominated by cannibalism and closed circles. We don't align with that kind of ecosystem and we never will.
Since day one, futurefun operated with 0 fees. We consistently brought the most innovative features to market, many of which were later copied by the major players. Despite being one of the first builders in the space, we never received any real support from the platform we built on, not even a like on a tweet, nor 1$ in rewards. Every single time we shared an idea or an upcoming feature, surprisingly, a competitor would announce it a few days later.
The cost to run this brand now exceeds the revenue it generates, and without a healthy ecosystem to build in, the motivation to continue simply isn't there.
Before we close, we want to highlight what we're most proud of: we ran the first real trading competition in prediction markets, featuring both Kalshi and Polymarket side by side, with a $30,000 prize pool funded entirely by us. That was a first for the space and it remains our biggest achievement.
To every single person who used futurefun, participated in the competition, or supported us along the way: thank you.
As a reminder, there are no deposits held on this platform and there were never any fees. You don't need to do anything. We built futurefun on transparency and decentralization from the start, and we're closing it the same way.
If you're building in the prediction markets space and are interested in anything we've built, shoot us a DM.
