Solana-based protocol TBD has raised $3 million in a seed round co-led by CMT Digital and ParaFi, with participation from Jump Crypto, as it launches publicly following a private beta. The platform combines verified polling with permissionless prediction market trading, positioning itself at the intersection of identity, markets, and onchain data.
The protocol operates on the Solana network and requires World ID verification for voting while keeping market trading open to all participants. Each market is directly tied to a poll outcome, differentiating it from traditional event-based prediction platforms and emphasizing authenticated human sentiment in digital environments.
The raise comes as investors increasingly back infrastructure focused on verifiable identity and AI-resistant data sources. By linking identity-gated polling with onchain incentives and stablecoin rewards, TBD aims to create scalable mechanisms for measuring human opinion while generating revenue through trading fees and market activity.
