Phase 1 Simulation

Phase 1 represents the initial simulation phase of the Mantic protocol. During this stage, the platform will operate in a fully experimental environment where users can explore prediction markets, test platform features, and participate in the ecosystem without financial risk.

All interactions within this phase are conducted using simulation points rather than real assets. This allows participants to freely experiment with prediction strategies, explore market dynamics, and familiarize themselves with the Mantic platform.

The primary objective of this phase is to validate core protocol mechanics, observe user behavior, and stress test the system under active market participation.

Simulation Environment

• During Phase 1, all prediction markets will operate in a simulation environment.

• Users will be provided with platform points that can be used to participate in markets, place predictions, and interact with various platform features. Since no real assets are required, this phase lowers the barrier to entry and encourages broad participation from the community.

• This simulation environment allows the protocol team to monitor how markets behave under real user activity while refining system performance and market mechanics.

Points and Participation

• Points serve as the primary participation unit during the simulation phase.

• Users can use their points to enter prediction markets, allocate positions, and participate in various platform activities. The amount of points used and the accuracy of predictions may contribute to a participant’s overall standing within the ecosystem.

• Active participation during this phase may influence eligibility for future ecosystem rewards.

Leaderboards and Competition

• To encourage engagement, the platform may introduce seasonal leaderboards during the simulation phase.

• Leaderboards may track metrics such as prediction accuracy, point usage, and overall participation within the ecosystem. These rankings help create a competitive environment where participants can test strategies and compete with others.

• Leaderboard performance may also contribute to potential future ecosystem incentives.

Airdrop Participation

• Phase 1 also functions as an early ecosystem participation program.

• Users who actively engage with the platform during the simulation phase may become eligible for future airdrop opportunities. Participation metrics such as activity level, prediction accuracy, and ecosystem contributions may influence future reward distributions.

• The simulation phase therefore serves both as a testing environment for the protocol and as an opportunity for early participants to establish their presence within the Mantic ecosystem.

Protocol Observation

• Throughout the simulation phase, the protocol team will analyze platform performance, market behavior, and user participation patterns.

• Insights gathered during this stage may inform adjustments to market design, incentive models, and protocol parameters prior to future phases of the ecosystem.

• Additional details regarding simulation mechanics and reward structures will be introduced as the ecosystem evolves.
