Myriad and Chainlink team up for FIFA World Cup betting with blockchain speed

Sports fans now have a new way to bet on FIFA World Cup matches through prediction markets. The platform Myriad is using Chainlink to settle bets automatically instead of relying on slow manual checks. This change promises faster payouts and fewer disagreements about who won. Myriad already used Chainlink's technology for other types of bets, like crypto prices. Now it's expanding to the World Cup because the event attracts millions of viewers worldwide. The goal is to make betting smoother so new users stay interested even after the tournament ends.Chainlink's system checks results instantly and can't be tampered with, which helps avoid arguments over who should get paid. This technology has become popular in recent years as more people use prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi. These platforms have grown quickly, with some now worth billions of dollars. The World Cup betting contest also offers big prizes—up to $20, 000 for the top trader. Weekly rewards keep encouraging active users, and new leaderboards reset often to keep things fair. Small bets can earn extra cash too, making the competition more exciting. Behind the scenes, Myriad raised $100, 000 from investors in March to expand its services. The company launched on BNB Chain and is pushing to become a standard platform for automated betting. With these changes, prediction markets may become even more common in the future.
