Drift Protocol has announced the launch of prediction markets on the Solana blockchain. This new feature will allow users to create and participate in prediction markets, enhancing Drift's existing product suite, which includes perpetual swaps, spot trading, borrowing/lending, and more. The launch is timely, coinciding with the upcoming 2024 US election, and aims to provide a decentralized and fast platform for trading political memecoins like $TREMP and $KAMA. Drift Protocol's new offering is expected to compete with existing platforms like Polymarket, but with the added advantage of Solana's speed and decentralization. Additionally, Drift has introduced a "Grants Program" to enhance its ecosystem and community. The Election center on Drift is now live, marking the beginning of what is expected to be a historical US election season.
