Zolymarket

Private Prediction Markets on Zama FHEVM

A fully decentralized prediction market platform that leverages Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) to keep your bet amounts completely private while maintaining transparent market outcomes. Built on Zama's FHEVM technology, Zolymarket enables users to place encrypted bets on real-world events without revealing their positions to other participants.

Built with Zama FHEVM

This is a production-ready FHEVM implementation showcasing private prediction markets with encrypted bet amounts, option selections, and oracle-based decryption.

🌟 Key Features

🔒 Privacy-First Architecture

Encrypted Bet Amounts: Individual bet amounts are encrypted using FHEVM (euint64) - no one can see how much you bet
Encrypted Option Selection: Your chosen options are encrypted on-chain using FHEVM (euint8) - other users cannot see your positions
Encrypted User Balances: Total platform balance encrypted using FHEVM homomorphic encryption
Encrypted Pool Totals: Total amounts staked on each option encrypted during betting period
Oracle-Based Decryption: After bet ends, admin requests decryption and Zama oracle reveals encrypted totals for payout calculation
Transparent Outcomes: Final results and statistics become publicly visible after decryption

🎯 Multiple Market Types

Binary Markets: Simple Yes/No predictions (e.g., "Will Bitcoin reach $100K?")
Multiple Choice: Select from 3+ exclusive outcomes (e.g., "Who will win the championship?")
Nested Markets: Independent propositions with Yes/No outcomes for each

📊 Advanced Features

Parimutuel Odds System: Fair, pool-based payout calculation
Real-time Statistics: Live volume tracking with encrypted data aggregation
Category Management: Organized markets with drag-and-drop reordering
Admin Dashboard: Complete market management interface with analytics
Two-Step Payout System: Request payout → Relayer decrypts → Claim winnings
Mobile Responsive: Seamless experience across all devices

🛡️ Security & Decentralization

Smart Contract Powered: All logic runs on-chain with zero downtime
Role-Based Access: Granular admin permissions (Super Admin, Bet Manager, Category Manager)
Relayer Decryption: Off-chain decryption only when users claim payouts, keeping bets private throughout the betting period
MongoDB for UX: Stores metadata like bet titles, categories, and user positions for quick filtering and sorting without exposing encrypted amounts

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites Installation

Before starting, you need to install the following tools:

1. Install Node.js v20+

IMPORTANT: This project requires Node.js 20 or higher (fhevmjs dependency requires node >=20)

Recommended: Use Node.js 22.x for best compatibility

Windows:

Download Node.js from nodejs.org
Download Node.js 22.x (Current release)
Run the installer (.msi file)
Follow the installation wizard (keep default settings)

Verify installation:

node --version  # Should be v22.x.x (e.g., v22.20.0)
npm --version

Ubuntu/Debian:

# Update package list
sudo apt update

# Install Node.js 22.x (recommended for consistency)
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

# Verify installation
node --version  # Should be v22.x.x (e.g., v22.20.0)
npm --version

2. Install Git

Windows:

Download Git from git-scm.com
Run the installer
Use default settings during installation

```
git --version
```

Ubuntu/Debian:

# Install Git
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y git

# Verify installation
git --version

3. Install MetaMask Wallet

Open your browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Brave)
Go to metamask.io
Click "Download" and install the browser extension
Create a new wallet or import existing one
Save your seed phrase securely!

1️⃣ Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/Farukest/Zolymarket.git
cd Zolymarket

# Install frontend dependencies
cd frontend && npm install && cd ..

3️⃣ Environment Configuration

IMPORTANT: Copy the .env.example files and create your own .env files with your API keys.

Backend Configuration

cd backend
cp .env.example .env

Edit backend/.env and update:

SEPOLIA_RPC_URL - Add your Alchemy API key
MONGODB_URI - Your MongoDB connection string (if using cloud)
Contract addresses (after deployment)

Sepolia ETH:

Use public faucets like sepoliafaucet.com
Or contact me on Twitter: @0xflydev

Test USDC (Built-in Faucet):

The platform features an integrated faucet system for obtaining test USDC tokens. Users can claim 1000 USDC every 24 hours directly through the interface to participate in encrypted prediction markets.

Built-in faucet interface - Click the 💧 button to claim 1000 USDC every 24 hours

How to use:

Connect your MetaMask wallet to the platform (Sepolia Network)
Locate the faucet button (💧) in the header area
Click to claim 1000 test USDC tokens
Use your USDC to place encrypted bets on prediction markets
Return after 24 hours to claim again

Note: The platform is currently in beta testing. For deployment assistance or advanced configuration, reach out via Twitter or open a GitHub issue.

🔐 Privacy Technology

How FHEVM Protects Your Bets

Traditional Prediction Markets:

❌ Bet amounts visible on-chain
❌ Large bets can manipulate market sentiment
❌ Privacy concerns for high-value traders

Zolymarket with FHEVM:

✅ Bet amounts encrypted before submission
✅ Smart contracts compute on encrypted data
✅ Only you can decrypt your position
✅ Market odds remain accurate without revealing individual positions

Encryption Flow

User Places $100 Bet
         ↓
Frontend encrypts: $100 → 0x7f8e9a3b...
         ↓
Smart contract stores encrypted value
         ↓
Other users see: "Position exists" (amount hidden)
         ↓
On resolution: Relayer decrypts for payout calculation
         ↓
Final payout: Publicly visible (needed for claiming)
