(SeaPRwire) – Natively built on Base, OmenX brings up to 5x leverage to prediction market trading and initiates a Hedge-to-Earn program for users holding existing Polymarket positions.
SINGAPORE, May 19, 2026 — OmenX has officially launched its mainnet today, marking what it claims is the industry’s first operational leveraged prediction market platform.
Developed natively on the Base blockchain, OmenX enables users to trade prediction market assets using leverage, beginning with up to 5x leverage at launch. The platform intends to progressively increase the maximum leverage to 10x as market depth, risk management systems, and liquidity improve.
OmenX is crafted for traders seeking a more authentic trading experience from prediction markets. Rather than solely purchasing fully collateralized YES/NO shares and awaiting settlement, users can trade on event outcomes with greater capital efficiency, actively manage their risk, and open or close positions before an event’s conclusion.
“Prediction markets are evolving into a genuine asset class, yet the trading experience remains nascent,” stated James, Founder and CEO of OmenX. “OmenX is founded on the principle that users should trade event outcomes with the same flexibility found in derivatives markets—including leverage, risk management, liquidity, and the capability to trade prior to settlement.”
A Platform Native to Base for Leveraged Prediction Markets
OmenX is natively deployed on Base, providing the platform entry to a rapidly expanding on-chain ecosystem populated by active cryptocurrency users, featuring low transaction fees and growing trading infrastructure.
The team selected Base as its initial network because OmenX is designed for crypto-native traders from the outset. The platform aims to facilitate event markets covering cryptocurrency, macroeconomics, sports, politics, and other high-interest topics where users desire more adaptable tools to express their viewpoints.
At launch, OmenX offers up to 5x leverage. The company anticipates raising these limits gradually, with 10x leverage targeted once the platform has further demonstrated robust liquidity, market stability, and risk performance under live conditions.
Hedge-to-Earn: A Novel Growth Strategy for Prediction Market Participants
Concurrent with the mainnet launch, OmenX is introducing Hedge-to-Earn, a pioneering initiative tailored for users who already maintain positions on other prediction market platforms.
The first platform integrated is Polymarket.
Via the Hedge-to-Earn program, users with eligible Polymarket positions can obtain hedging-related incentives or positions on OmenX. The objective is to assist existing prediction market users in managing their risk exposure while onboarding them to leveraged event trading.
The concept is straightforward: users with existing prediction market positions have already demonstrated interest, capital commitment, and conviction. OmenX provides them a novel method to hedge, trade around, or amplify that exposure using leverage.
By initially focusing on Polymarket users, OmenX is not attempting to onboard random cryptocurrency users from scratch. Instead, it targets individuals who already comprehend prediction markets, offering them an incentive to experiment with a more sophisticated trading interface.
Evolving from a Prediction App to an Event Derivatives Platform
OmenX defines itself as a derivatives platform specializing in prediction market assets.
The team is convinced that prediction markets will not stay confined to fully collateralized outcome shares. As the sector expands, users will require the same instruments that propelled the growth of crypto derivatives: leverage, enhanced capital efficiency, deeper liquidity, risk management, and professional-grade trading infrastructure.
OmenX commences with leveraged prediction markets, but its long-term ambition is wider: to construct the trading framework for event-based assets.
Following the mainnet launch, OmenX intends to broaden its range of supported markets, enhance liquidity, provide API access, and continue developing its ecosystem centered on traders, communities, and capital partners.
To fuel this upcoming growth stage, OmenX has secured a multi-million-dollar angel investment from a premier syndicate of North American venture capital firms, exchange founders, and Web3 builders, including Paramita Ventures, Penrose Ventures, and M77 Ventures. Now live on mainnet, the protocol is shifting its focus to scaling genuine trading volume, cultivating deep liquidity, and widening market reach, while simultaneously progressing discussions with top-tier venture funds and strategic partners to support its subsequent institutional growth phase.
