Folk can talk markets with you: live odds on real events, small real-money trades, play-money bets with friends, and micro-markets you invent yourself.

Folk pulls live prediction-market odds and gives you the picture in one message.

place a bet

Folk supports two flavors:

• play money (Manifold): free, zero risk, on by default. great for bragging rights.
• real money (Kalshi): actual regulated event contracts, if you connect your own Kalshi account.

every real-money trade is quote-first: Folk shows you the price and asks you to confirm before anything is placed, and there are hard per-trade and daily caps you can't blow past by accident.

make your own market

the fun one. invent a market about literally anything and let your friends trade it:

make a market: does jake show up before 10pm?

Folk creates it and hands you a link. everyone taps, trades on their own account, and Folk resolves it when the answer's in.
