The company plans to use the funds to grow its business and advance its development work.
TBD is a prediction market platform that measures verified human opinions. It allows individuals and organisations to create polls answered only by World ID–verified users. At the same time, Solana-based prediction markets are created where people can trade on the results. This setup uses economic incentives to make real human opinions measurable and market-driven.
While prediction markets are often used for elections and sports, TBD is creating a new type focused on global human opinion. With AI and bots flooding the internet, it’s harder to know what real people think. Sentiment drives decisions in business and policy, but online measurement is tricky. TBD ensures every response comes from a verified human, enabling large-scale, bot-proof feedback.
TBD’s private beta ended with over 4,000 markets created and more than 19 million votes from over 225,000 verified participants worldwide.
“The internet is full of synthetic content, making it harder to know what real people think,” said Corey Miller, Co-Founder and CEO of TBD. “TBD is designed to measure human opinion in a digital, AI-proof, and sustainable way.”
“The TBD team combines strong design expertise with fast product development,” said Sam Hallene, Partner at CMT Digital. “TBD turns verified human opinion into a market, which will be crucial as AI makes traditional data less trustworthy.”
“ParaFi has supported prediction markets since 2018, seeing them as a natural part of capital markets that provide transparent, incentive-driven pricing,” said Anjan Vinod, Managing Director at ParaFi. “TBD takes this further by combining polls and markets in one on-chain system, linking sentiment and capital more closely. We’re excited to support a team with a strong track record of successful DeFi products and the ability to grow TBD.”
