Marketloo

Prediction market platform for hackathons

Overview

Marketloo is a prediction market platform where hackathon participants trade virtual shares on event outcomes using POO (Prediction Outcome Options) tokens. Users start with 10,000 POO tokens and compete on leaderboards while placing bets on binary yes/no outcomes. The platform was built for the Nosu AI Hackathon.

Inspiration

Hackathons have a lot of casual speculation — who’s going to win, which project looks strongest, what the judges will pick. We wanted to turn those conversations into something structured. A prediction market where you can actually put tokens behind your gut feeling and compete against everyone else.

Technical Challenge

The hardest part was building the time-series data system. We needed a dual-table architecture — recent_price_history for 5-minute interval snapshots and archived_price_history for long-term data — to keep the database performant without losing historical accuracy. Price impact follows a logarithmic model that accounts for spread, liquidity, and order size.
