Kalshi just rolled out something wild: tokenized event contracts living on Solana. Think prediction markets, but blockchain-native. You're basically trading outcomes of real-world events through on-chain tokens. The mechanism? Smart contracts handle settlement automatically once the event resolves. SOL's speed makes this actually usable, unlike clunky alternatives. Whether it catches on depends on liquidity and regulatory clarity, but the infrastructure's there now.

The Solana ecosystem has come up with something new again, and this time it really has some substance.

Finally, Solana's speed can be used for prediction markets; those previous chains were really slow to the point of being unusable.

Oh no, it's another new trick from the Solana ecosystem, this time it's a prediction market... Liquidity is the key!

The speed of Solana is indeed great, much better than Ethereum's trap of congestion.
