# Why RektoFun?

We believe prediction markets are still missing the social and competitive layer.

Most existing platforms focus only on trading mechanics and liquidity, but users today want more interactive and engaging experiences. Crypto users already compete publicly every day through market calls, memes, and social influence, yet prediction markets still feel passive and financial.

We decided to build Rekto.fun to turn convictions into competition.

The timing feels right because:\
• Prediction markets are rapidly growing\
• SocialFi and gamified finance are emerging categories\
• Crypto communities are becoming more interactive and identity-driven\
• Solana enables fast, low-cost, real-time interactions at scale
