Manifold

Community sentiment from play-money forecasting markets.

Manifold is useful for understanding community sentiment and long-tail forecasting questions. Unlike cash-settled venues, Manifold uses play money, so its probabilities should be interpreted as community forecasting signals rather than prices from a cash market.

Community sentiment, not cash-market pricing

Parlay includes Manifold because it can surface useful public forecasting context. Treat results as play-money community sentiment.
