## Description

Instead of humans evaluating every project, create a market where traders bet on what those human evaluations would say. This talk shares lessons from using that model to distribute $350,000 to core Ethereum repositories, covering how we designed and ran the prediction markets, from market formats and base rate setting to liquidity seeding and final resolution.
