# Problem Statement

Current prediction markets face significant challenges:

* Lack of Fairness: Centralized oracles can be manipulated, eroding trust.
* High Fees and Complexity: Platforms charge exorbitant fees, with cumbersome interfaces deterring casual users.
* Limited Engagement: Static pools don't foster competition or community.
* Token Utility Gaps: Native tokens often lack meaningful deflation or rewards.
* Accessibility Barriers: Single-asset staking excludes diverse risk profiles.

Degen Duel tackles these by offering a simple, secure, and rewarding alternative that emphasizes decentralization and user empowerment.
