According to TechFlame, according to CoinDesk, prediction market startup Melee has raised $3.5 million, co-invested by Variant, DBA, and angel investors to launch its first “viral prediction market” platform. Drawing on success stories such as Polymarket, the company allows users to create prediction markets on any topic. Its core mechanism enables decentralized pricing by rewarding early and accurate traders, which is different from the traditional model of relying on professional market makers. The platform places special emphasis on the creator economy, and supports influencers to set up markets around fans' interests and profit from them. For example, anchors can initiate market predictions about game release dates.
