The Spot Market for Information
Prediction markets trade derivatives of what people know. Ostrum prices the information itself, starting where asymmetry is steepest and closest to home: market-making, exchange listing, and fundraising deals.
Information is an asset. It should have a spot market. Prediction markets turn knowledge into directional yes/no exposure; Ostrum lets participants transact in the underlying information directly.
Contribute what you know to access what others know, with exchange rates set by the value and scarcity of each data point.

How it Works
Ostrum runs on a strict contribute-to-unlock model. Participants add useful information and earn access to other information of comparable value.
Contribute
Users submit information that is hard to find, costly to produce, or valuable because only a small group can observe it.
Valuation
Contributions are valued according to their importance, the dispersion of knowledge in that segment, and the scarcity of the data point.
Unlock & Query
Contributors query the pooled dataset through a natural-language interface, asking what others have seen in similar situations without revealing any single source.
Verification
Submissions undergo a disclosed, time-limited review process assessed against public sources, internal data, and signs of manipulation.
Information Market Flows
Two balances separate owning the network from using it. Ownership is fixed and patient. Consumption is earned, spent, and retired.
Ownership
The asset that owns the market. Supply is fixed at launch. When allocated, it earns a continuous stream of Consumption.
Consumption
The working balance. Earned by contributing information or allocating Ownership; spent to ask questions. Every query permanently retires the Consumption it costs.
Privacy by Architecture
An information market only works if contributors can share without exposing the source. Ostrum is built around aggregation, verification, and narrow disclosure.
Coarse Bucketing
Sensitive inputs are converted to coarse buckets and ratios at submission, and raw figures are destroyed. No database of precise source material exists.
Aggregation Only
All access runs through an aggregation-only statistics layer with minimum-cohort thresholds and suppression rules. No query can return an individual submission.
Verified Contributors
Contributors are verified against their organization, so entities can only report on their own information, protecting the integrity of the market alongside privacy.
Join the Beta
Project Ostrum is available today. People and organizations with valuable knowledge are invited to join as founding contributors to the first market.
Access Ostrum.aiThe system will blindly rank the value of contributors and invite them to a private anonymous community to provide feedback, improve the platform, and share in its success.
