On Contro, people settle disagreements in debate competitions with real stakes. Anyone can host one and invite friends, colleagues or followers.
The core concept is that arguing is only possible after placing a stake on one of the two teams. An AI judge scores each argument in the context of the current debate and awards points to the writer’s team, a bit like in a sports match. Since the team with more points wins at the end, whatever we let the judge rate highly becomes a value of the community, so unlike social media, Contro has a direct lever to keep discourse healthy. The skin-in-the-game market mechanism strengthens this lever and incentivizes people to contribute new substance in the first place, to explain well, and to engage deeply with the other side. Stakes follow disagreement: they grow while people disagree and shrink as they come to agree, and anyone can sell before the verdict. Spectators can stake and trade without arguing.
Under the hood, every debate comes with a full prediction market using our GLOB mechanism. Unlike prediction markets on external events, Contro supports subjective debates, hard fact-checks and more, and its markets aggregate not just a price but reasoning and knowledge as well.
