The AI-focused development house Hey Anon envisions a fully decentralized prediction market to provide a home for trading agents.

[Abu Dhabi] February 23, 2026

Today, AI-focused development team Hey Anon, led by prolific DeFi developer Daniele Sestagalli, announces the launch of Pandora: a fully decentralized and AI-driven prediction market built on Ethereum L1.

Pandora’s design emphasizes trust-minimized architecture amid a competitive landscape currently dominated by a pair of centralized players who decide which markets to deploy, how events are worded, and how resolution occurs in opaque, centralized black boxes. Pandora offers a decentralized alternative to this dynamic, and puts power directly into the hands of users – whether human or autonomous AI agents.

On Pandora, anyone can anonymously create a market with either AMM-style or parimutuel market mechanics, all fully on-chain and transparent. Pandora also features social and research functionality, such as site-wide live chat and real-time whale alerts.

The launch of Pandora comes as sector leaders explore internal market making teams that trade against their users, enter into agreements with professional market makers, and come under fire for unannounced market structure changes.

“As the prediction market duopoly doubles down on opaque, ‘black box’ market making, there is an emerging opportunity for a truly decentralized, fair, and transparent platform to provide a needed alternative,” said Hey Anon founder Daniele Sestagalli. “We built Pandora on the belief that anyone should be able to create a market about anything, and those markets should resolve in a way that is transparent, verifiable, and not controlled by a small group of insiders.”

Pandora additionally offers a unique, AI-based oracle system in which multiple agents come to a consensus on a market’s resolution. If they fail to do so, resolution falls to $ANON token stakers. This system is intended to minimize human interference in the protocol, strengthening decentralization and preventing resolution mishaps and misunderstandings.

As autonomous moneymaking agents increasingly leverage tools like prediction markets, Sestagalli envisions ways to integrate further AI functionality into Pandora, such as allowing agents to autonomously assess markets, optimize strategies, and even deploy new markets. Sestagalli explained that the protocol will eventually include mechanisms to score agents based on performance and integrity, ensuring an evolving ecosystem of competent autonomous participants.

Pandora is now live at thisispandora.ai.
