[Lighter May Launch Prediction Market: Proposed HIP-3 Style Whitelist Operation Model] The decentralized order book exchange platform Lighter's code repository recently included a commit titled 'Binary options support,' indicating that its ZK Circuits may have begun supporting binary outcome markets (prediction markets). According to the code, each market has a settlement cap, with share prices trading between 0 and the cap, and settling at either zero or the cap upon conclusion. The contracts are fully collateralized by USDC, thus avoiding leverage and liquidation risks. Analysis suggests that Lighter might introduce a 'market operator' model, allowing whitelist-approved operators to create, manage, and handle market settlements, similar to the HIP-3 deployment model.
