PMX is a Solana launchpad where every new coin is paired with a prediction-market outcome instead of SOL or USDC. You pick a YES or NO token as the backing asset, launch with a fixed one-billion supply and a $5,000 starting market cap, and the coin's price then moves with both its own trading and the shifting odds of the market it is tied to.

Tab Markets turns market signals into automated crypto trades on Solana.
