Nomis x Sides: Bringing Reputation Closer to Prediction Market Trading

Prediction markets are becoming one of the most interesting areas in crypto because they turn information into something people can actually trade.

Instead of only reading news, checking sentiment, or arguing about what might happen next, users can take a position on real-world outcomes. Elections, crypto, sports, culture, weather, tech, finance, and global events can all become markets where price reflects collective expectations.

For Nomis, this is a natural space to watch. Our work has always been built around onchain reputation, user behavior, and better ways to understand activity beyond simple wallet balances. Sides approaches the market from another angle: it focuses on making prediction market trading easier, faster, and more accessible for users who already live inside Telegram.

That is why we are glad to introduce Sides to the Nomis community.

What is Sides?

Sides is a prediction market platform built around practical trading workflows. Its first live product, Sides Bot, lets users trade prediction markets directly in Telegram without jumping between several apps, wallets, dashboards, and browser tabs.

The main idea is simple: prediction market trading should not feel heavy. If users want to react to a market, place an order, check their position, or follow their portfolio, they should be able to do it from a familiar chat interface.

Sides Bot is designed for mobile-first execution. Users can access markets, place market and limit orders, manage positions, and track portfolio PnL inside Telegram. The platform also supports features such as gasless trading, cross-chain deposits, automatic wallet creation, copy trading, and group trading tools.

For casual users, this removes a lot of friction. For more active traders, it creates a faster way to follow markets and act on price moves without constantly switching context.

Why prediction markets need better UX

Prediction markets are powerful, but they can still feel difficult for normal users.

The concept is clear enough: if you believe an event is more likely than the market price suggests, you can buy into that outcome. If you think the market is overpricing something, you can take the other side. In practice, though, many users drop off before they even reach the trade.

They need to understand wallets, deposits, gas, market pages, order types, position management, and exits. For people who are already active in crypto, that may be manageable. For everyone else, it becomes a wall.

Sides is trying to shrink that wall.

By bringing the core trading flow into Telegram, Sides meets users where they already spend time. This matters because prediction markets are often driven by fresh information, fast reactions, and social context. A market can move because of a news update, a speech, a sports result, a governance decision, or a sudden shift in public sentiment.

In those moments, speed and simplicity are not small product details. They shape whether users can participate at all.

Where Sides fits into the Nomis ecosystem

Nomis is focused on reputation, identity, and user activity across Web3. We believe wallets should be understood by behavior, not only by assets. A wallet can show consistency, contribution, risk appetite, ecosystem knowledge, and real usage patterns.

Prediction markets are another place where behavior matters.

A trader’s activity can say a lot: what markets they follow, how they manage positions, whether they react emotionally or patiently, how often they trade, and whether they understand probability or simply chase noise. This is not just about winning or losing one trade. It is about how people interact with information.

That makes Sides especially interesting for the Nomis audience. It gives users a clean way to enter prediction markets and build experience in a category that is likely to keep growing.

The partnership is not about forcing complexity into the user journey. It is about connecting two ideas that already belong close to each other: reputation and market behavior.

Telegram as a trading layer

Telegram has become one of the core interfaces for crypto users. Communities, announcements, alpha groups, support chats, trading bots, and partner campaigns already live there.

Sides builds directly on that habit.

Instead of asking users to leave the chat environment whenever they want to trade, Sides Bot makes the trading flow Telegram-native. That is useful for individual traders, but it also opens the door for more social trading behavior. Group trading tools and copy trading can turn prediction markets into something more collaborative, where users do not only trade alone but also learn from others and follow stronger participants.

This is especially relevant for newer users. Prediction markets can be intimidating when every decision looks isolated. Seeing how other traders approach markets, manage timing, or react to odds can make the learning curve less painful.

What comes next for Sides

Sides is not stopping with the Telegram bot.

According to the product roadmap shared on the Sides website, Sides Terminal is also in development. The Terminal is planned as a more advanced workspace for users who want deeper market visibility, richer monitoring, and more serious execution workflows.

That gives the product a clear two-layer structure.

Sides Bot is built for fast, simple, mobile-native trading. Sides Terminal is being designed for traders who need more depth and a dedicated workspace. Together, they create a broader product suite for prediction market users with different levels of experience.

This is a smart direction because prediction markets do not have one single user type. Some people want to place quick trades from their phone. Others want dashboards, monitoring, and more advanced execution. A good product should support both paths without making the beginner experience feel overloaded.

Why this matters

The prediction market category is still early, but the direction is clear. Users want faster ways to act on information. They want markets that are easier to access. They want tools that do not make every action feel like a technical setup process.

Sides is building exactly around that gap.

For Nomis, partnering with Sides means supporting a product that makes onchain trading behavior more accessible and easier to understand. It also gives our community another practical way to interact with Web3 beyond holding assets or chasing campaigns.

Reputation becomes more useful when users have more meaningful places to express behavior. Prediction markets are one of those places.

Sides helps make that behavior easier to start, easier to manage, and easier to bring into everyday crypto routines.

For users who want to explore prediction markets without heavy setup, Sides is a strong place to begin.
