Question 1

Do I need a wallet?

Accepted Answer

No. Sign in with email or social and Privy creates a self-custodied smart account for you, with sponsored gas. On SVM Free you don’t need a wallet at all.

Question 2

Is it free?

Accepted Answer

SVM Free and SVM News are free to play. SVM Pro and SVM Predict are real-money products; SVM Teams opens as an invite-only beta. You can learn the whole model for free before spending anything.

Question 3

Which product should I start with?

Accepted Answer

If you’re new, start with SVM Free or the daily on SVM News. When your read is sharp, graduate to SVM Pro - the real performance market.

Question 4

What is a performance market?

Accepted Answer

A continuous market on how an athlete performs over time - not a single result. Unlike a prediction market that settles at the final whistle, a performance market never closes.

Question 5

What is a bonding curve?

Accepted Answer

It’s how each market is priced and made liquid. There’s no empty order book - every buyer creates liquidity. Early backers enter lower on the curve; as more people back an athlete, the price rises. At scale, a market graduates to Uniswap V3.

Question 6

How are prices set?

Accepted Answer

By verified real-world performance data from official providers (Opta, Sportradar) plus live demand on the curve - not by a house or an editorial vote.

Question 7

Is my money self-custodied?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SVM Pro uses non-custodial Privy smart accounts - you hold your own keys and positions at all times.

Question 8

How do deposits and withdrawals work?

Accepted Answer

Fund your account in USDC and withdraw whenever you like. You retain custody throughout - SVM never holds your funds.

Question 9

Is this gambling?

Accepted Answer

No. SVM is a performance market: positive-sum, no house, no odds. You back how an athlete performs, priced by verified data. SVM Predict is a real-money prediction market and is geo-restricted - please play responsibly and only where eligible.

Question 10

What’s the difference between Free and Pro?

Accepted Answer

SVM Free is the demo - the same continuous model, played with points instead of money. SVM Pro is the real market, traded in USDC and self-custodied.

Question 11

What is SVM Predict?

Accepted Answer

A sports-only prediction market running on Polymarket’s rail - the familiar, binary, event-based kind of prediction. It’s the on-ramp from a category people already know.

Question 12

What is SVM Teams?

Accepted Answer

The performance market for teams - team tokens priced by a mint → bet → buyback → burn loop settled on real match outcomes. It’s coming soon as an invite-only beta.

Question 13

Which regions can use the real-money products?

Accepted Answer

Real-money products (SVM Pro, SVM Predict, and SVM Teams at launch) are geo-restricted; eligibility depends on your region and is enforced in-app, along with age and terms acceptance.

Question 14

What data powers the markets?

Accepted Answer

Official performance data providers - Opta and Sportradar - combined with live market demand.

Question 15

Is SVM self-custodial and on-chain?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SVM Pro is non-custodial by default via Privy smart accounts, settled on-chain and transparent. Your keys and positions are always yours.
