Metis Partners with Nextmate.ai to Revamp Prediction Markets with the Help of AI

Since its inception, the DeFi market has remained one of the most dynamic sectors across Web3. In this regard, the leading layer 2 (L2) platform Metis recently announced a strategic integration with Nextmate.ai, a platform where cryptocurrencies meet decentralized prediction markets.

The collaboration seeks to usher in a major evolution for prediction markets by combining advanced artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities with the blockchain — thereby enabling a highly sophisticated, user-centric trading environment that is engaging, accurate, trustworthy, scalable, fast, and cost-efficient.

That said, from a purely numbers standpoint, it bears mentioning that the global prediction market has experienced exponential growth in recent years, with valuations reaching $10.2 billion in 2023 and projections suggesting a surge to $63.3 billion by 2032 (with some researchers suggesting this metric could reach the $95 billion mark over the same time period).

Within this burgeoning realm, Metis and Nextmate.ai’s partnership stands to offer users unprecedented access to AI-driven insights for more informed decision-making in prediction markets.

Moreover, by integrating Nextmate.ai’s advanced AI solutions into Metis’ L2 infrastructure, the two entities hope to foster a symbiotic relationship that can streamline complex user processes while simultaneously providing clients with profitable methods for digital asset engagement — thereby making prediction markets more accessible, accurate, and efficient.

Transformation via AI innovation

By leveraging Nextmate.ai’s machine learning (ML) capabilities to analyze extensive datasets, Metis enables participants to make more informed decisions based on comprehensive market insights while reducing newcomers’ learning curve.

A particularly innovative aspect of the integration is the creative approach to memecoin utility, which introduces gamification elements to financial predictions. This unique feature adds an engaging community aspect to the platform, making complex financial predictions gamified — i.e. more accessible and enjoyable for users of all experience levels.  

Lastly, to celebrate the occasion, Metis has launched a $25,000 METIS incentive campaign encompassing various activities, including active participation in prediction markets, social media engagement, and successful referrals of new users to the platform. 

This has been done to ensure community involvement as well as jumpstart organic growth for the ecosystem as a whole. On the development, Metis Executive Lead Tom Ngo recently stated:

“The integration represents a pivotal advancement for Metis, reinforcing our role at the forefront of blockchain technology. With the $25,000 METIS incentive campaign, we are not only enhancing our ecosystem’s options but also actively promoting user engagement and growth within our network.”

Future implications

By addressing key challenges pertaining to scalability and monetary viability alongside the incorporation of future ready AI capabilities, the partnership between Metis and Nextmate.ai represents a new standard for what many users may expect from future decentralized prediction platforms.

Therefore, as the predictive analytics market continues on its path of robust growth — growing at a CAGR of 22.4% between 2024-2034 — it stands to reason that platforms combining AI-driven data insights with the blockchain will be able to gain a lot of mainstream traction. Interesting times ahead!
