Catalla
Anti-insider & anti-oracle prediction market.
What it does
Catalla is a self-resolving prediction market for unverifiable outcomes — no oracle, no insider front-running, no manipulation. Inspired by Harvard research, we combine Switchboard VRF random settlement with CLOB-driven price discovery. Unlike Polymarket, we settle on market consensus: YES + NO = 1, both sides redeem at the last trade price. Creators, terminators, and traders all earn fee shares, driving organic liquidity.

- DADealta – A game-theoretic decentralized trading protocolJan 2026 · github.com · ▲56
I’ve been working on a solution to the "Physical Oracle Problem" (trustless trading of physical goods) and just released the full Alpha implementation. The Core Thesis: Existing decentralized marketplaces rely on reputation, which inevitably centralizes. Dealta replaces reputation with a Nash Equilibrium-based mechanism. We use staked, pseudo-randomly selected "Brokers" to physically verify goods. The protocol ensures that honesty is the dominant strategy for all actors via strict payoff matrices. It intended use is preferably trading of mid to high value goods. Nobody expecting a computer,…


- POPrice Oracle for Decentralized Finance Apps2019 · ▲7
We built a data feed oracle to write prices on-chain, and it’s live on the Ropsten test network! In Decentralized Finance (Defi), you can build your own financial instruments and you often need an oracle to write off-chain prices onto the blockchain. We built an oracle focused on data feeds because the current options are too expensive and slow for regularly, repeating data. This oracle is designed for price feeds and uses public key encryption to validate the data submitted is accurate. We modeled our oracle off of MakerDao and generalized the design to work with any datafeed. We’re…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
