42 represents the evolution of Alkimiya, the pioneering DeFi protocol that first disrupted fixed-rate markets in 2022. Rebranded in late 2025, 42 shifts focus to prediction markets, a high-stakes arena where users bet on real-world outcomes like elections, sports, economic indicators, and crypto price milestones. Imagine wagering on “Will BTC hit $100K by Dec 31?” or “Who wins the 2026 World Cup?” with on-chain settlement, no oracles needed, and yields that adapt to market sentiment. This isn’t gambling; it’s decentralized intelligence, where collective bets forecast the future more accurately than polls or analysts.
