Seesaw Protocol#
Autonomous smart contracts for creating and interacting with price-referenced digital contracts on Solana
Seesaw is a set of autonomous smart contracts that enable anyone to interact with YES/NO shares on configurable-duration price-direction contracts through a fully on-chain order book with Pyth oracle integration. No counterparty risk. No centralized operators. Just pure price discovery.
Quick Start#
How It Works#
Contracts open on a configurable cadence — from every 60 seconds to every 7 days — each referencing: Will the price go UP or DOWN?
| Share | What It Means | Payout if Correct |
|---|---|---|
| YES | Price will be UP (or unchanged) | 1 USDT per share |
| NO | Price will be DOWN | 1 USDT per share |
Prices come from Pyth Network - the same oracle used by major DeFi protocols. Resolution is automatic and trustless.
Why Seesaw?#
- Permissionless - No KYC, no restrictions. If you have a wallet, you can participate.
- Non-custodial - Your funds stay in your wallet until you place an order.
- Transparent - All orders, interactions, and settlements happen on-chain.
- Fast - Contracts from 1 minute to 7 days — pick your time horizon.
- Fair - Price-time priority matching. No front-running.
