# Prediction Events

Event Predictions allow players to bet $HASH tokens on 

* upcoming events, 
* datacenters where the events will occur next
* or both 

It adds a layer of gamified strategy to the mining ecosystem.

**Every 30 min a new bet is available.**

Bets are in $HASH with pre-set % tiers, ranging from 0.1% to 2%. To ensure fairness, only one bet per user is permitted per event cycle

The prediction pool is funded by 5% of each distribution from all datacenters.

### Bet Types and Odds

Players can choose between three different levels of risk and reward:

• Event Bet: Predict only the event type (Boost, Blackout, Breach, or Siphon). Standard events pay 3.3x, while the rarer Siphon pays 10x.

• Datacenter Bet: Predict which datacenter will be the "beneficiary." This offers 4x odds.

• Combined Bet: Predict both the type and the beneficiary. This offers the highest rewards: 13.3x for standard events and 40x for Siphon.

*Prediction is correct if you as the user can identify the event and/or the primary datacenter where the event occurs.*

#### Timing and Settlement

Betting opens when an event enters "preparing" status and closes 1 minute before the event starts. Bets are settled automatically once the event becomes active.

**Fees**

A 5% fee is applied to all winning payouts, with 1% of the total payout being permanently burned on-chain to support the token economy.

#### Security and Fairness

All prediction outcomes are determined by a [provably fair on-chain randomness system](/core-concepts/how-to-know-that-it-is-truly-random.md).&#x20;

Because results are derived from immutable blockchain data like transaction slots and timestamps, **neither** **the server nor the players can predict or manipulate** the outcome before the transaction is confirmed.
