Chapter 05 · Parlays

Bookmaker UX without a central bookmaker

Bookmaker-style parlays, cashouts, and leveraged YES/NO token trading, with every payout fully backed.

Parlays use only tokenized markets that have passed the tokenization requirements. The customer requests one fixed quote; permissionless solvers compete to price the complete combination, and a quote can execute only after its maximum payout is held in on-chain escrow.

LayerJob
Protected YES/NO lendingLend outcome tokens against maximum-value collateral; preserve the lender's original payoff and add interest.
Isolated leverageKeep each market and maturity in its own margin account so one failed trade cannot drain another.
Solver auctionCompeting solvers price every leg and its correlation; the best valid fixed quote wins.
Payout escrowHold the full maximum return in escrow before accepting the bet, or revert.
Junior risk vaultsEarn the parlay spread and absorb joint-outcome trading risk separately from protected lenders.
CTF receiptGive the bettor one self-custodied, tradeable claim that redeems under the parlay's fixed rules.
Cashout auctionAsk the same solver network for competing bids to buy the receipt before resolution.

The customer flow stays familiar: select legs → receive the best fixed quote → see the guaranteed payout → place one transaction → hold or trade one ticket → request an early cashout.

There is no house setting every price or carrying an unsecured promise. Protected lenders earn borrowing interest while keeping their original outcome exposure; separate junior capital knowingly earns the parlay spread and bears the correlation risk.
