xMarkets

Welcome to xMarkets, a React based application allowing users to trade and speculate on event outcomes using Algorand (ALGO) cryptocurrency.

This application provides a simple and user-friendly platform for viewing and interacting with prediction markets. Users can purchase "yes" or "no" shares for a particular event. Once the event is resolved, shares can be sold for ALGO, with the rate depending on the outcome of the event.

Features

• View various prediction markets
• Buy and sell shares in a prediction market
• Details about each market including number of "yes" and "no" shares, Algo Balance, days left until resolution, etc.
• Firebase integration for user authentication and data storage
• Use of Algorand's blockchain for transaction security
