Introduction

Welcome to the Canonicals documentation. Start here to understand the protocol, its goals, and how everything fits together.

What is Canonicals?

Canonicals is an EVM-blockchain-based prediction platform that revolutionizes forecasting through mathematically precise Time-Series Predictions (TSP).

Instead of simple “yes/no” predictions, Canonicals lets you predict values of real-world data - like the price of oil next month, a stock index next week, or even weather temperatures. The platform uses advanced mathematical models to determine winners and distribute rewards fairly based on accuracy and timing.

Why Canonicals is Different

Traditional prediction markets ask: “Will Bitcoin be above $50,000?” (Yes or No)

Canonicals asks: “What will Bitcoin’s price be?” (Predict the specific value)

This precision creates more engaging, skill-based forecasting where:

• Early predictions get wider error margins (higher risk, more flexibility)
• Late predictions need greater accuracy (lower risk, tighter requirements)
• Winners are determined by mathematical formulas, not market sentiment
