Vaazaar as a trustless binary prediction market for price direction at UTC time boundaries.

The basic idea is simple:

Pick a real Pyth price feed, for example SOL/USD, BTC/USD, ETH/USD, or any Pyth feed.
Pick an interval, such as 1H, 1D, 1W, 1M, or 1Y.
Each market has UTC-aligned turns.
Users buy Higher or Lower tickets for the next future turn.
Snapshot A records the price at the turn start.
Settle B records the price at the turn end.
If B > A, Higher wins.
If B < A, Lower wins.
If B = A, the turn is a draw and ticket holders can claim a net refund.

The product is designed around a few principles:

Permissionless markets: if there is a real Pyth feed, users should be able to create a market for it.
UTC boundaries: turns are based on predictable time boundaries, not arbitrary round timing.
On-chain settlement: outcomes are enforced by the contract using verified Pyth oracle updates.
No winner handling: if nobody bought the winning side, part of the vault goes to the protocol and the rest rolls into the next turn.
Refund paths: missed snapshot / settlement windows and draws become undetermined/refund-eligible according to the contract rules.

Ticket price is currently 0.01 SOL. 90% goes to the turn payout vault (winners) and 10% goes to the protocol fee bucket. Snapshot and settlement are permissionless calls with a fixed caller fee, so anyone can help finalize turns.

This is the first public beta release. The contract is deployed on Solana mainnet and the app is live. Please read the docs and terms before using it:
