TL;DR: 42 in 30 Seconds

A short summary of 42.

42 is an on-chain asset issuance protocol built around dynamic payouts, open-ended upside, and a unified outcome-token architecture. Instead of fixed odds, markets continuously reprice based on flow, timing, and conviction where rewarding users not just for being right, but for when and how they enter.

Its curve-based design removes the liquidity and secondary-market constraints that limit traditional binary prediction markets, enabling both predictors and traders to participate in a more efficient, expressive, and actively traded market environment.
