🎯 WTF is Bodega Market and Why It’s the Hottest Prediction Game in Cardano Town
Bodega Market is a decentralized prediction market built on Cardano — think DraftKings x Polymarket, but permissionless, trustless, and governed by the crowd. No bookies, no middlemen — just smart contracts calling the shots.
Want to bet on the price of ADA next month? Guess if ETH hits a new all-time high? Predict if a DAO proposal passes? Bodega’s got a market for that — or lets you create one.

🏟️ Real Talk: It’s Fantasy League Meets DeFi
Imagine you’re at a sports bar — but instead of betting $20 with your buddy, you’re:
- Creating a pool on-chain
- Letting anyone join globally
- Resolving the outcome with code
- And walking out with 10x your money in $ADA
Bodega brings this to any event — markets on politics, prices, sports, crypto, or straight-up memes.
