Core market terms

Term	Definition
Prediction market	A market where contracts settle based on a real-world outcome such as an election, sports result, or economic release.
Polymarket	The current venue BETTER focuses on. It runs on Polygon and uses a central limit order book.
Kalshi	A regulated prediction market platform in the United States. Mentioned in BETTER docs as a planned future integration, not a live one today.
Opinion.xyz	A prediction market protocol mentioned as a planned future integration.
CLOB	Central Limit Order Book. The market structure where bids and asks sit in an order book until matched.
Oracle	The mechanism that decides how a prediction market resolves once the real-world outcome is known.
Settlement	The process of turning a resolved market outcome into final balances or payouts.
Alpha decay	The idea that a trading edge fades quickly once more participants see the same information.
Slippage	The difference between the expected trade price and the actual fill price.
Notional value	The dollar value of a trade size. BETTER uses this term when describing Lite Mode copy-trade fees.

BETTER product terms

Term	Definition
BETTER	A token-gated access layer for prediction-market trading. Today the live product is the Terminal closed beta.
Terminal	BETTER's live closed beta interface for Polymarket signal discovery, signal context and one/two-click copy trading.
Copy trade	A one/two-click trade that replicates a supported signal surfaced inside the Terminal. Copy trades do not guarantee equal fills.
Closed beta	A live but limited release. BETTER's Terminal is live in closed beta; vaults are not live yet.
Vault	A planned BETTER product where user capital is pooled and traded automatically. The first vault is still in progress.
`vBETTER`	A planned receipt token for a future BETTER vault. BETTER may use separate receipt tokens for different vaults.
Source chain	The chain the user starts funding from. BETTER currently supports Ethereum mainnet and Base mainnet.
USDC.e	The Polygon form of USDC that becomes usable for Polymarket trading after BETTER routes a deposit through the funding flow.
Sponsored gas	Trade placement gas that is paid by the trading venue rather than directly by the user. BETTER Terminal trades are gas-sponsored by Polymarket.

Access and account terms

Term	Definition
`$BETTER`	The BETTER token used to gate Terminal access today and future vault access later.
Access gate	The minimum amount of `$BETTER` required to use BETTER products. BETTER checks this per wallet and per session.
Ratchet gate	BETTER's rule that lowers access thresholds permanently as new fully diluted valuation all-time highs are reached. Once the gate ratchets down, it does not move back up later.
FDV	Fully diluted valuation. A token price multiplied by the total token supply.
Lite Mode	An optional Terminal mode that halves the standard Terminal access requirement and charges a 2% fee on the nominal value of each filled copy trade.
Privy	The login and wallet tooling BETTER uses for session management and access checks.
High-water mark	A fee rule that means BETTER only charges a performance fee on new net profit above the highest value your vault balance has already reached.

Funding and infrastructure terms

Term	Definition
UDA	Universal Deposit Address. BETTER uses UDA technology powered by Enclave.money so users can fund without manually bridging assets themselves.
Enclave.money	The infrastructure provider BETTER uses for UDA-based liquidity abstraction and cross-chain fund routing.
Liquidity abstraction	The process of moving user capital from a source chain into a form that can actually be used where liquidity lives, without forcing the user to bridge manually.
Embedded wallet	A wallet created or managed inside an application flow instead of only through a browser extension wallet.
Polygon mempool	The stream of pending Polygon transactions that can be watched for trading signals before final confirmation.
Co-location	Running infrastructure close to a trading venue's own systems to reduce latency.

Strategy and execution terms

Term	Definition
HFT	High-frequency trading. Very fast, rules-based trading measured in milliseconds or faster.
Deterministic execution	A rule-based execution path where the engine follows fixed logic rather than free-form model output. BETTER uses this for HFT-style flows.
BRAID	Bounded Reasoning for Autonomous Inference and Decisions. An OpenServ framework that structures model reasoning into controlled decision steps instead of vague free-form outputs.
OpenServ	BETTER's GTM partner and incubator. BETTER uses OpenServ's BRAID framework in its longer-timeframe decision layer.
Reasoning DAG	A structured flow of decision steps used to check whether a trade should proceed.
Insider Score	BETTER's wallet score for signal quality. It is described as a z-score based on the performance of the top 1,000 Polymarket wallets, then normalized with machine-learning methods.
Fractional Kelly sizing	A risk-sizing method that uses only a fraction of the full Kelly bet size to reduce risk.
Drawdown (DD)	The amount of loss from a previous peak. BETTER refers to fixed drawdown tolerance as one of its hard risk controls.

Planned vault and ecosystem terms

Term	Definition
Enzyme / Enzyme Onyx	A widely used audited vault framework BETTER plans to use for future vault accounting and receipt-token infrastructure.
Batched withdrawal	A withdrawal model where exits are processed in grouped windows instead of at any moment. BETTER plans to start future vaults this way.

B2B ingestion product	A planned BETTER business line for selling prediction-market data ingestion or telemetry infrastructure.
OpenRouter credits	A planned revenue line tied to BETTER's future prediction-market model distribution through OpenRouter.
`$TRUTH-PERP`	A longer-term planned product described as a synthetic index for prediction-market exposure.
HIP-3	The Hyperliquid Growth Protocol path referenced in BETTER's longer-term `$TRUTH-PERP` vision.
