Prediction markets hit a wall, but it's rarely a design problem.
The real issue? Liquidity dries up. When there's no depth on either side of a bet, even the slickest interface can't save you—people just abandon the platform.
That's why it's worth paying attention when projects zero in on this specific challenge. Tackling the liquidity bottleneck head-on is what separates theoretical solutions from actually viable ones. It's the kind of focus that could reshape how these markets function at scale.

Liquidity issues are indeed the Achilles' heel of prediction markets, but I think no matter how well-designed it is, it’s all in vain.

Liquidity issues, at their core, are a matter of market confidence. No matter how exquisite the UI, it cannot save people’s tendency to flee.

Liquidity is the key; a flashy UI is useless without it.

Liquidity is the real pain point; no matter how beautiful the UI is, it's useless.

actually... liquidity isn't a design problem, it's an incentive structure problem. most projects just slap on market makers and call it solved lol
