Sui-Based Walrus and Myriad Partnership Revolutionizes Decentralized Prediction Markets

The partnership between Walrus, a specialized storage protocol on the Sui blockchain, and Myriad, a decentralized prediction market platform, marks a transformative step in decentralized forecasting. This collaboration integrates Walrus's advanced storage infrastructure with Myriad's prediction markets, enabling real-time data accessibility and enhanced reliability.

Myriad currently processes approximately $10 million in weekly inflows through its platforms, and the partnership ensures that all market artifacts are stored immutably and verifiably on-chain. This addresses key challenges like data latency and trust issues by leveraging Walrus's secure storage and Sui's high-throughput blockchain architecture.

Key benefits include instant access to real-time market data, improved user experience, and reduced counterparty risk. The integration also involves data sources like Decrypt, a crypto media platform, ensuring predictions are based on verified information. Ilan Hazan, co-founder and COO of Myriad, emphasized that this makes outcomes tamper-proof and publicly auditable, while Rebecca Simmonds, Walrus Managing Executive, highlighted its potential for DeFi and AI applications.

The partnership advances Myriad's goal of becoming a fully on-chain protocol, replacing legacy storage models and fostering a more open, accountable web. This development could spur broader adoption of decentralized prediction markets, leveraging Sui's scalability and Walrus's efficient data handling.
