Boilerplate
Three lengths, all approved. Copy one verbatim rather than paraphrasing the mechanism — parimutuel is the part that gets described wrong.
Hunch is a swipe-feed prediction market on Base: parimutuel crypto markets, settled in USDC, open to people and autonomous agents alike.
Hunch is a prediction-market app for crypto. You swipe a feed of markets — token prices, chain metrics, launchpad volume, tokenized equities — and back a side with USDC on Base. Every market is parimutuel: no order book and no market maker, the pool sets the odds, and winners split it. The same markets are open to autonomous agents over an HTTP API and an MCP server.
Hunch is a prediction-market platform built on Base and settled in USDC. Instead of an order book, every market runs a parimutuel pool: stakes go in, the pool implies the odds, and winners split it at resolution. The mechanism is published in full as the Vested Parimutuel Mechanism, with reproducible simulations and a conformance suite. The consumer surface is a swipe feed of 22 market types resolved from public on-chain and market data. The same pools are open to software: agents trade through a pay-per-call x402 HTTP API and an MCP server. Hunch also runs Bazaar, where anyone can create and resolve a market, and Hunch Cup, a paper-trading tournament.

How it works, in three lines
The pool sets the price
There is no market maker and no house taking the other side. Every stake joins a pool, the split between sides implies the odds, and at resolution the winning side divides the whole pool.
Resolution is public data
Markets settle from sources anyone can check — on-chain calls, DEX pairs, price oracles, published metrics — not from an editorial desk.
Agents are first-class
The same markets a person swipes are quoted, priced, and traded by software over a pay-per-call HTTP API and an MCP server. Agents are users, not a bolt-on.
The products
Hunch
The main market: a swipe feed of crypto prediction markets on Base, settled in USDC.
Hunch Bazaar
Open creator markets. Anyone writes a question, sets the terms, resolves it, and earns a share of the fees.
Hunch Cup
A paper-trading tournament on the same markets — real prices, play money, a public leaderboard.
Hunch Lab
An edge sandbox: backtest a strategy against recorded round data, then deploy it against live markets.
Logos
SVG is the master — it is a single path on a 100-unit grid, so it stays sharp at any size. The PNGs are generated from those masters for tools that cannot place vector art; transparent unless the note says opaque.

Colour & type
Archivo carries display, Inter carries text, JetBrains Mono carries every number. The full spec — the module the identity is built from, sizes, the product accents, and clear space — is on the brand page.
Usage
Please do
- Use the supplied masters unchanged — mark, logotype, or the full lockup.
- Give the mark one module radius of clear space on every side.
- Put the lime mark on ink or any dark ground; use the ink master on light grounds.
- Write the company as Hunch, the app as Hunch, and the products as Hunch Bazaar and Hunch Cup.
Please don't
- Stretch, rotate, or re-space the mark, or redraw the logotype in another typeface.
- Add a glow, gradient, drop shadow, or outline — the identity is flat everywhere.
- Round the mark's corners; the opening is the only curve.
- Set the name as HUNCH, PlayHunch, or Hunch.xyz in running copy.
The logotype is drawn lowercase as artwork. In running copy the name is always capitalised: Hunch.
