Myriad Taps Chainlink as Oracle for 2026 World Cup Prediction Markets
Prediction market platform Myriad has selected Chainlink as the exclusive oracle infrastructure for its markets on the 2026 FIFA World Cup matches. This integration builds on Myriad's existing use of the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) for crypto price markets, and will enable near-instant market resolution, settlement, and payouts. The automated process aims to replace slower manual settlement methods common in some prediction platforms. Myriad co-founder Ilan Hazan noted that traders want trustworthy outcomes immediately after matches end. Chainlink Labs' William Reilly emphasized that tamper-proof auditability will help reduce resolution disputes. Additionally, Myriad is running a $100,000 trading competition for World Cup markets, with top prizes of $20,000, $10,000, and $5,000. The platform recently closed a milestone seed funding round with backers including MoonPay Ventures, Auros, EVG, Verda Ventures, and Tom Lee. This comes after Myriad launched on BNB Chain and introduced short-timeframe automated markets, as it works toward its goal of becoming a protocol.
