You can try our proof of concept miniapp here: http://t.me/hunch_demo_bot/hunchdemo.

Note: the final product will be a fully native mobile app. We are currently using Telegram miniapps for easier shareability.

We’re using telegram just for testing, the final app is going to be available in the App Store and Google Play. We’re using Kalshi’s API to seed some markets just for this proof of concept.

Our core belief: Trend cycles and attention spans are getting shorter. More and more people are craving risk-on exposure to things they believe in.

A platform that matches the acceleration of evolving day to day trends should exist. Prediction markets should be addictive, fast paced and incorporated into people’s everyday lives.

What is Hunch

A mobile-first, dopamine-inducing app that allows users to trade micro-trends through real-time prediction markets with fast resolution on MegaETH. Instead of scrolling past the day’s trends, you trade on them. Is Capo right this time? Will Nic and Olandria break up after this episode of Love Island? Is anyone going to care about Labubus tomorrow? We are transforming predicting the future into a social, fun, everyday experience.

Hunch is where you play what happens next. Designed from the ground-up with a simple and dopamine-inducing UX and a hyper-personal notifications algorithm.

Why Hunch

Prediction markets are powerful tools for speculation, collective intelligence, and entertainment; but in their current form, they’re too slow, too clunky, and too inaccessible for the modern user. Most markets resolve in days, weeks or months, making them feel disconnected from the pace of real life and unable to provide good returns for risk taken.

Hunch changes that.

We see a unique gap: a fast, fun, and socially-native prediction platform built for the TikTok generation. Hunch is designed for speed, social virality, and everyday engagement. Instead of waiting days to resolve a prediction, users get closure and dopamine within minutes or hours; and immediately reinvest attention back into the app.

Hunch exists at the intersection of three powerful market trends:

• AI-generated and AI-influenced culture: With tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, and TikTok's algorithm shaping what people see and believe, we're living in a world where new trends are created, amplified, and die within days. Hunch turns this evolving dynamic into a trading surface where micro-trends become markets.
• Speculation as entertainment: From sports betting to crypto to meme stocks, users increasingly see risk-on activity as entertainment, not just investment. Hunch takes what social apps and mobile games do well—levels, streaks, chats, and leaderboards—and layers it over a powerful trading core
• Social-first, mobile-native design: Prediction markets have never been built with retention and addictiveness in mind, instead targeting a more educated audience with long time horizons. Hunch takes what social apps and mobile games do well: levels, streaks, chats, leaderboards; and layers it over a powerful trading core.

Hunch takes battle-tested ideas proven in fantasy sports, trading, and socials, but uniquely positioned to succeed now because of:

• Real-time market creation via AI + internal content pipeline
• Fast-resolving markets with automated resolution logic
• Sticky game mechanics and social loops

We’re not building a finance app; we’re building a new social behavior around belief and curiosity.
