# Pitchcast

Football prediction markets on Solana. Permissionless. Transparent. Live.

***

Pitchcast is a permissionless prediction market protocol built on Solana, purpose-built for football. Users can create, trade, and resolve markets on any event that occurs in or around the game: match outcomes, player performance, in-game moments, transfer decisions, managerial appointments, and anything else the community believes is worth trading on.

Where existing prediction markets are generalist, Pitchcast is the football intelligence layer: a live, liquid market for collective belief about the sport.

The product draws inspiration from Robinhood's clarity and accessibility and Stripe's technical precision and documentation quality. Every interaction, from creating a market to settling a position, is designed to feel intentional, polished, and trustworthy. The tone is professional without being cold, technical without being inaccessible.

Pitchcast launches in beta with curated markets, managed access, and trusted resolution. The architecture is designed from day one for the permissionless, decentralised state that follows.

Pitchcast is currently in private beta. All markets and fees are subject to change before mainnet launch.
