Key facts

• Project: 1024EX

Why 1024EX Launched a Testnet Beta for Prediction Market Onchain Trading

Prediction markets depend on execution quality: how quickly users understand a market, how efficiently they can express a view, and how transparently outcomes are resolved. While onchain trading improves verifiability and auditability, a prediction market product must also meet professional standards for clarity, reliability, and usability—especially in environments where information flow and price discovery evolve rapidly.

With the 1024 Testnet Beta now live, 1024EX is shifting from theoretical design to measurable, real-world testing—prioritizing:

• Market clarity: whether users can interpret what a market represents and how it is priced
• Trading workflows: position entry, adjustment, and exit through onchain trading flows
• Market dynamics: price discovery behavior, liquidity response, and participant behavior in live conditions
• Transparency & robustness: observable, auditable actions across the end-to-end user journey

What’s Live in the 1024 Testnet Beta

The 1024 Testnet Beta provides hands-on access to prediction market onchain trading workflows and the broader 1024EX stack.

The Testnet Beta includes:

• Live Prediction Markets designed for practical evaluation of prediction market onchain trading flows, including discovery, position management, and market participation.

• 1024Chain — the ecosystem’s first-party Layer-1 blockchain, designed around performance and reliability requirements for financial derivatives and quantitative trading rather than general-purpose compute.
• 1024EX — the flagship exchange built on 1024Chain, featuring a fully onchain order book and a unified order-book model applied across market types.
  https://www.1024ex.com/
• 1024Quant — an AI-native quantitative execution platform for retail and professional users, focused on making systematic trading workflows more transparent and accessible.

• 1024SDK — an integrated toolchain spanning natural language → strategy code → backtesting → deployment, natively connected with 1024Quant and 1024EX to support collaboration, learning, and iterative strategy development.
• 1024 Square — a content, community, and competition layer supporting text, short video, and livestream formats, with creator mechanisms intended to reinforce the loop between learning, consensus formation, and trading.

This Testnet Beta is designed for rigorous validation—prioritizing workflow quality, observable market behavior, and reliability over promotional scale.

Core Positioning: Prediction Market + Onchain Trading

1024EX approaches prediction markets as a serious trading primitive. By combining prediction market mechanics with onchain trading infrastructure, the platform is designed to support:

• Transparent price discovery driven by participant behavior and information signals
• Verifiable execution and settlement with traceable onchain records
• Professional-grade trading workflows that remain intuitive without oversimplifying market complexity
  

The 1024 Testnet Beta launch on January 15, 2026 is the first public milestone to validate this positioning with real users.

Who the 1024EX Testnet Beta Is For

The 1024 Testnet Beta is open to participants who want to evaluate prediction markets delivered through onchain trading flows, including:

• Users exploring prediction markets in a transparent, onchain environment
• Traders and power users focused on execution quality, market structure, and position-management workflows
• Builders and ecosystem contributors observing market behavior and providing structured, reproducible feedback
  

How to Access, Provide Feedback, and Get Support

• Official access & documentation: https://www.1024ex.com/

• Market-structure feedback (market design clarity and behavior under varying participation levels)
