About Ascend

Ascend is a prediction perpetuals platform that allows you to trade prediction markets with up to 100x leverage. Ascend is multi-chain, ZK-settled on Midnight, secured by Cardano. Ascend turns prediction markets into real-time, tradable markets. Instead of simply betting on outcomes and waiting for resolution, users can trade the probability of events (like BTC hitting $100K) using a perpetual-style engine, entering and exiting positions anytime. Trades are executed off-chain for speed and then batch-settled on Midnight using zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs, giving users a seamless experience with strong on-chain guarantees. This creates a more dynamic, liquid, and capital-efficient way to trade information and belief.
