PM Atlas: prediction-market mechanisms, venue directory and comparisons

What is PM Atlas?

Start with a mechanism definition or a venue profile, then follow the cited research and concept links. The ecosystem matrix shows coverage across chains and audiences, while comparison views expose differences between selected platforms or mechanisms. Status and dataset updates appear within the directory, so an entry should be read together with its lifecycle label.

The publisher discloses that its team is building Dekant. Its taxonomy assigns a single mechanism to each venue; that is an editorial classification choice, not a complete list of every capability. Material is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0, and the announced long-form PDF report remains marked coming soon.

What to check

The publishing team discloses its involvement in building Dekant.
A single-mechanism label per venue is the atlas’s taxonomy, not exhaustive capability coverage.

Our take on PM Atlas

Editorial rating: 3.5/5. Mechanism definitions, research references and comparison views provide useful ecosystem context. Publisher affiliation, editorial taxonomy and the noncommercial license need consideration when interpreting or reusing material.
