whim.bet is a protocol for real-time, agent-curated prediction markets embedded directly into livestreams.
As livestreaming becomes the dominant medium for digital attention - whether in gaming, news, sports, or politics, viewers crave deeper forms of interaction. Today, this interactivity is shallow: limited to chat reactions, emojis, and algorithmic upvotes. Meanwhile, attention-rich moments - high-stakes plays, surprise announcements, narrative pivots - go economically unpriced.
whim.bet transforms these moments into dynamic markets.
