What Role Do Prediction Markets Play in Decentralized Governance Models?

Prediction markets can be used as a signaling mechanism to gauge community sentiment on governance proposals before a formal vote. Users buy and sell shares representing the potential outcome of a proposal.

The market price of these shares acts as a real-time probability indicator of the proposal's success or failure. This can help surface controversial or poorly designed proposals early, saving time and resources.
