Swiv Banner Swiv is a private precision market protocol that enables users to forecast real-world outcomes using **numerical predictions** rather than binary (yes/no) bets.

Users submit exact values (e.g., BTC price at a given time), and rewards are distributed based on how close those predictions are to the final outcome. All predictions remain **private until settlement**, preventing copy trading and herd behavior. How pools work, lifecycle states, and how to participate.

The closer your prediction is to the final outcome, the greater your share of the pool. Submitting early and not updating your prediction earns time and conviction bonuses that multiply your weight. No one can see your prediction before settlement, eliminating copy trading and late-stage bandwagon effects.
