OKX did a great job in the first season of the World Cup prediction market activity, with traffic skyrocketing and many previous participants earning tangible BTC rewards. The key is that the participation threshold is very low, zero cost participation, successful prediction earns XP points, and finally BTC rewards are awarded according to ranking. I remember the total prize pool for the first season was 16.66 BTC, with a real value of approximately 1 million+US dollars. OKX Prophet Season 2 is back again, with multiple football and esports tracks to participate in and a $600000 prize pool. It can be seen that OKX really attaches great importance to this product and wants to continue making it in the long term. I have been involved before and had some immature ideas. 1. I have always found predicting the market very interesting, as it turns one's judgment into trading. But from another perspective, I think it's closer to binary options: Yes, No. Perhaps I've been petting my cat for too long, and I increasingly feel that the only ones who can truly make long-term money are always a minority. So my impression is that predicting the market is great, but walking by the river often doesn't get your shoes wet. In the end, it becomes a game where only a few experts keep taking rewards, while most ordinary users experience it once and then leave. For example, in the current XP mechanism, if the prediction fails and returns to zero before restarting, the default is to continue participating with 300 XP, which is more like a game of constantly betting. Is it possible to make the gameplay and reward coverage deeper and wider? 2. How are points generated? Don't just rely on predicting wins to earn points, but let users use OKX @ okxchinese products normally to also earn points. Spot trading, contract trading, TradFi trading, asset deposits, long-term position buying and wealth management can all generate points. At the same time, some random drop mechanisms can be added, such as occasionally earning extra points after trading, to make the process more game like. In short, can the OKX platform turn participation itself into a value, recorded in the form of points, and prediction is only one of the scenarios for using points. 3. How to play with points? Prediction is only one of the scenarios where points are consumed, not the whole. Users can use points to participate in predictions, rankings, and themed seasons. A truly powerful predictor gains reputation by accumulating points and levels through long-term winning rates, forming their own reputation for prediction. Ordinary users can also accumulate benefits through participation. 4. What is the use of points? The most important thing for points is to have exports, including deduction of transaction fees, discounts on US stock transaction fees, VIP experience, activity eligibility, physical rewards, and more, which can all become long-term benefits. A better way is to provide long-term value for point users in the OKX ecosystem. If the number of participants reaches millions or even tens of millions in the future, the marginal effect of simply issuing BTC/U rewards will definitely decrease. Why can't we design bigger long-term challenges? For example, if xxxx meets a certain standard, it can enter a larger reward pool, such as converting a 600000 yuan bonus directly into 5x or 10x, and buying a large amount of trading data or capital sink for 6 million yuan is also very cost-effective. In this way, user participation is not just an event, but a continuous growth within the OKX ecosystem. What I mean is that a better way would be to make points one of the equity certificates. The most direct scenario is that I have accumulated points and stopped gambling, so I switched to a mouse kit. 5. I think the future trading platform should not only be a place for buying and selling transactions, but also a financial gaming system for adults. It should be able to trade global assets, predict and make small bets at any time, as well as buy wealth management and earn interest. Some people say it's better to buy OKB, but I don't think so. OKB is asset equity, which is not a dimension. What I mean by points is more like a user growth system, and many platforms' points are a system of rights and benefits accumulated from user behavior. After the user consumes, the platform records it and then provides long-term value to the user. In the long run, the account of the cryptocurrency exchange may be passed down to the next generation, and various activities such as prediction may only be entrance gameplay. What should really be done is to connect exchange users, xlayer ecosystem, and on chain financial applications, to do things, innovate, and give rights. In summary, since this matter has been proven effective, what I mean is that we can make it bigger, deeper, and longer. We should not only reward the results of a single point of participation, but also reward all participants. Participating in activities is a side event, as it allows users to feel that money or rewards come from strong winds,
