Create the Best Content about Melee's PMM

Over the last few weeks, Melee has published a series of articles on market structure, liquidity, and why prediction markets still feel broken for most participants.

This campaign is the lead-up to what we’ve spent the past few months building: Melee’s Parimutuel Market Maker (PMM).

The task

Your task is to read the articles and create the best piece of content around them.

That can mean:

• a clean recap

• a sharper breakdown

• your own angle / takeaway

• a more viral CT-style spin

• it can be a tweet, meme, infographic, thread, video, or even your own article.

It's up to you. Submissions will be judged by the criteria below.

Judging Criteria

We’re not looking for a stitched-together summary of 4 posts. We’re looking for a piece of content that actually lands.

Readers should come away understanding:

• what is broken in current prediction market structure

• why liquidity and execution still suck for normal users

• why Melee matters

• what Melee is building toward (the PMM)

1. Accuracy

Does the content correctly explain the problems described in Melee’s articles?

Strong submissions:

• represent Melee’s arguments faithfully

• avoid misleading claims, hype, or oversimplification

• show clear understanding of the problem being discussed

• connect back to one of the original article’s main point

2. Clarity & Creativity

Is the content easy to understand, memorable, and genuinely engaging?

Strong submissions:

• explain the idea in plain language

• use a strong hook or creative angle

• make complex crypto/AI/coordination ideas feel accessible

• feel original rather than generic or copy-pasted

3. Shareability

Would someone outside crypto understand it — and want to send it to a friend?

Strong submissions:

• work for a broad audience, not just crypto insiders

• create an “oh, I get it” moment

• are concise, punchy, and emotionally resonant

Rules

• English only

• Must be original

• Must be posted after the campaign goes live

• Don’t just rewrite the articles

• If it’s obvious you didn’t actually engage with the material, it won’t count

• Must be posted on X and tag @meleemarkets
