Myriad's New Perpetual Sentiment Markets Make Opinions 'The Most Valuable Commodity'
Traditional polling relies on what people say they believe, often distorted by bias, social pressures, and minimal personal cost. Myriad’s Perpetual Sentiment Markets address this by letting participants stake real value on their beliefs—buying or selling positions like Fear vs Greed or political approval. This market mechanism creates a continuous, real-time and self-correcting signal of collective sentiment, tracked on-chain. Every trade imposes financial consequence, making bias costly and conviction measurable, while providing a more honest, liquid representation of public mood than standard polls. Unlike prediction markets, these sentiment markets are perpetual and do not resolve, instead offering live and historical charts that display how sentiment shifts over time and what influences those changes. The underlying principle is that attaching a cost to expression scales honesty. Myriad's markets, including Up/Down contracts, let users actively bet on sentiment, with over $3.6 million staked so far, transforming opinions into valuable, data-rich market signals and presenting a new model for gauging public mood in the digital age.
