prediction-market-uncertainty

Real-time uncertainty index from 30,000+ prediction markets. One function, one number (0-100).

import uncertainty from 'prediction-market-uncertainty'
const score = await uncertainty() // 31 (0-100)

What is this?

A single number (0-100) that measures how much prediction markets disagree with each other right now. Derived from orderbook spreads across 30,000+ markets on Kalshi and Polymarket.

• 0-20: Markets are confident and agree (complacent)
• 20-40: Normal uncertainty
• 40-60: Elevated uncertainty
• 60-80: High uncertainty, markets in flux
• 80-100: Extreme uncertainty / crisis

Think of it as a VIX for prediction markets, but derived from actual betting spreads rather than options pricing.
