In traditional prediction markets, winning is pointless—your principal is frozen there, waiting for the entire world to confirm the results before you can act. This delay is the worst—it kills the trading enthusiasm and limits how often you can participate.

The real issue lies in capital utilization efficiency. A fast settlement mechanism is the key. Platforms that can achieve second-level or even real-time result confirmation are redefining how prediction markets work—allowing funds to flow freely and giving traders the opportunity to participate continuously, rather than just placing a bet and then waiting idly.

That's why I've always said that the settlement delay in traditional prediction markets is fundamentally a systemic flaw. Data shows that the capital turnover rate of fast settlement protocols can be increased by 3-5 times, but market perception still remains in the previous generation paradigm.

Winning and still having to wait foolishly, this is true despair, as the funds can't be moved at all.

Winning money still gets frozen; this thing is really outrageous. No wonder everyone is into high-frequency trading.

Bro, that's why I've been working on on-chain instant settlement stuff. The traditional system is just too slow. Winning and still waiting for confirmation? Funds getting frozen? No wonder everyone is moving to the chain to play. 秒级结算真的改变游戏规则，能反复进场而不是一把梭就没了 Traditional markets' delays can kill traders' enthusiasm—that's the real problem. Fast settlement = true capital flow, they finally understand this. So real-time confirmation is the key, or else they would have been crushed by on-chain players long ago.

Winning money and then having to freeze and wait half a day, this design is really incredible, no wonder no one plays traditional prediction markets --- Real-time settlement is what really matters; having funds move quickly is the key --- Basically, it's a liquidity issue; fast settlement = more opportunities to participate, this logic makes sense --- After placing a bet, having to wait foolishly for confirmation—can the experience be any worse? --- Platforms with real-time settlement have indeed changed the game rules; capital efficiency has immediately improved --- Delay is extremely damaging; once the heat is gone, the money is gone --- I also think fast settlement is more important than anything else; otherwise, what's the point of playing? --- Platforms that confirm in seconds are definitely eating into traditional lunch; there's no way around it --- Long freeze periods directly kill trading enthusiasm; there's a problem with the design logic
