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.
