How it works

From sign-up to payout in three simple steps.

  1. 1

    Sign up & deposit USDC

    Create an account and get your own Solana deposit address. Send USDC from any Solana wallet (Phantom, Backpack, an exchange) — your balance updates automatically.

  2. 2

    Pick Up or Down

    Choose a live 5- or 15-minute window and bet Up or Down on Bitcoin or Solana. The minimum bet is $5.

  3. 3

    Auto-settle & withdraw

    When the window closes it settles automatically — each winning contract pays $1, credited to your balance. Withdraw USDC back to any Solana wallet anytime.

Why trust Vertex

Real mechanics, not marketing claims.

  • Funds settle on-chain

    Everything is denominated and settled in USDC on Solana — a public chain you can verify.

  • Your own dedicated address

    Each account gets its own dedicated deposit address, and your share is tracked line by line in a strict double-entry ledger.

  • Transparent pricing

    Simple, fixed payout: every winning contract pays exactly $1. No hidden spread on the result.

  • Fast settlement

    Rounds resolve in 5 to 15 minutes — you find out if you won quickly, not days later.

Frequently asked questions

A prediction market lets you bet on the outcome of a future event. Here, you predict whether a coin’s price will be higher (Up) or lower (Down) when a short timed window closes. A correct prediction pays out; an incorrect one settles to zero.
