Technical Overview

VORTX is built as a system of interconnected smart contracts on HyperEVM that work together to create the first fully on-chain prediction market platform.

System Architecture

The Big Picture: VORTX uses five core smart contracts that handle different aspects of the platform:

  • PredictionMarketFactory: Creates new markets and collects fees

  • PredictionMarket: Individual market logic and YES/NO token management

  • OrderBook: Fully on-chain trading engine for all markets

  • OracleManager: Decentralized resolution system with AI agents and human oracles

  • VORTXStaking: Token staking and rewards distribution

Key Technical Innovations

Fully On-Chain OrderBook

The breakthrough that makes VORTX possible: a complete orderbook system running entirely on smart contracts. Unlike competitors who use centralized matching, VORTX implements price-time priority, collision detection, and trade execution all on-chain.

Shared Liquidity Architecture

Instead of separate orderbooks per market, VORTX uses one central OrderBook contract that handles trading for all markets.

Mathematical Precision

Smart contracts enforce the core rule: 1 YES + 1 NO = 1 USDT with exact decimal arithmetic. No rounding errors, no precision loss, perfect arbitrage opportunities.

Why HyperEVM Makes This Possible

Low Gas Costs: Complex orderbook operations are affordable for frequent trading

Fast Confirmations: Real-time trading experience with quick block times

High Throughput: Network can handle the transaction volume needed for active markets

EVM Compatibility: Use proven Solidity patterns and existing tooling

Previous attempts at on-chain orderbooks failed on Ethereum due to prohibitive gas costs. HyperEVM's efficiency makes what was impossible now practical.

Data Flow

Creating Markets: Factory → Deploy Market → Register with OrderBook → Ready for trading

Trading: User → OrderBook → Match orders → Execute trades → Distribute fees

Resolution: Oracles vote → Consensus reached → Market resolved → Winners claim payouts

The system is designed for modularity - each contract has a specific role, and they communicate through well-defined interfaces. This makes the platform upgradeable and maintainable while keeping the core logic secure and battle-tested.
