About
A prediction market for supply-chain disruption
GADUIN lets anyone trade event contracts on whether a specific flight, train, or ship will be on time, delayed, or cancelled. Prices move as the world does, and every market settles automatically from official tracking data.
GADUIN is a trading venue where people and automated agents buy and sell event contracts — a marketplace, not a forecasting service or analytics tool.
Our mission
Disruption is one of the largest, least-priced risks in the economy — a delayed vessel, a cancelled train, a grounded aircraft ripples through supply chains, budgets, and travel plans. GADUIN turns those questions into a market, so a real-time, crowd-sourced probability replaces guesswork, and anyone exposed to disruption has a transparent way to price it, trade it, or hedge it.
How it works
Each market is a yes/no event contract. A contract pays $1 if the event happens and $0 if it does not, so the price you pay — somewhere between the two — reads directly as the market-implied probability of the outcome. Buy the side you believe is under-priced; sell any time before the market closes.
Every market settles automatically from official tracking data — the operational record of when a flight, train, or vessel actually arrived. The market's terms — the delay threshold and the scheduled time it is measured against — are fixed when the market opens and cannot change afterwards, so you always know how a contract will be settled before you trade it. There are zero trading fees.
Why you can trust settlement
Settlement is the part of any real-money market that has to be beyond dispute. On GADUIN it is deterministic — the outcome is read from official data sources and applied to terms fixed before the first trade, not decided by a house or a referee with a stake in the result.
- Every market's terms are fixed when it opens and cannot change.
- Markets resolve from data, not from a house or a referee.
- Settlement is deterministic and runs without operator discretion.
- If the data is ambiguous, a human reviewer resolves within 24 hours.
The settlement methodology and the FAQ walk through how markets resolve, and the Terms set out the rules in full.
Trading event contracts carries risk: you can lose the full amount you stake. Nothing on GADUIN is investment advice.
Who it's for
GADUIN is open to retail traders who want to take a view on real-world events, and to logistics and hedging counterparties who carry genuine disruption exposure and want a transparent instrument to offset it — see GADUIN for institutions. The platform is also open to automated agents and trading bots over a programmatic interface.
