Why Build on Yiling
Yiling Protocol is the same infrastructure we use for our own prediction markets. It's open for anyone to build on.

- Oracle-free resolution — no dependency on Chainlink, UMA, or any external oracle
- Mathematically proven — SKC mechanism based on peer-reviewed Harvard research
- Battle-tested — the same contracts power our live markets on Monad
- EVM-compatible — deploy on any EVM chain
- Permissionless — no API keys, no approval needed
