Introducing The Information Exchange on Solana, Powered by Decrypt and MYR

Information is becoming machine-readable, markets are becoming programmable, and the distance between an event and an economic response is collapsing. This convergence, media, markets and machine intelligence is what makes The Information Exchange possible now.

Why us

For eight years, we have been building around information and the communities that give it value.

Decrypt was created to help people understand fast changing financial and technological system. It has grown into one of the largest crypto-native media platforms.

Rug Radio began from a different place. It showed that Creators and community members could participate in the media they helped make, contribute to its distribution and share in the culture and value surrounding it. Its audience is deeply crypto native.

Folding Rug Radio into Decrypt brought that native perspective together with the reach and authority of an established newsroom, reaching approximately 1.6 million monthly unique users and 3.7 million monthly page views, with more than 73,000 active newsletter subscribers and has generated of hundreds of millions of impressions through social platforms and syndication.

Myriad developed a third audience: active market participants who have already demonstrated that they will move directly from information to action when presented with a compelling product.

These audiences are three points on the same participation curve from understanding, to discovery, to conviction, to execution.

Prediction markets were the proof

Myriad Prediction Markets began as an experiment in whether an information audience could become a market network. Prediction markets were the natural first instrument because they are one of the purest ways to financialize information.

The important question for us was not whether people wanted another place to trade predictions. It was whether people consuming information could become active market participants within the same experience.

More than $600 million in prediction market volume later, the answer is clear.

Along the way, we deployed Myriad across several ecosystems, experimented with automated market makers and order books, built a wallet and developed our own market infrastructure. Not every strategy worked as intended. At times, we optimized for becoming a conventional prediction market venue instead of concentrating on the larger relationship between information and participation.

But the underlying experiment succeeded. We built a new financial product from the ground up, distributed it through an existing information network and proved that passive content consumers could become active market participants.

Prediction markets were not the destination. They were the proof.

The Information Exchange

Prediction markets are one financial expression of information. They will not be the last.

The Information Exchange expands the model across the broader financialized internet. Its fundamental unit is not an article, a token or a trade. It is the subject.

Myriad can assemble reporting, data, market prices, probabilities and opportunities to participate.

Those opportunities will include

• Prediction markets
• Spot markets
• Perpetual futures
• Structured event products
• New financial instruments.

We do not need to manufacture every financial product we distribute. Myriad will continue to provide native market infrastructure while also integrating products from third party protocols and exchanges. The objective is to become the information and participation layer through which people discover, understand and interact with markets.

Supporting our continued media growth will be our in house agentic media operating system: designed to identify emerging subjects, organize data, curate intelligence, assist content production and connect relevant financial products to the infograph.

The MYR Token

MYR is the shared economic coordination layer of The Information Exchange.

MYR can be staked by participants responsible for secured network functions, including information verification and market resolution.

Applications, professional trading systems, data consumers and autonomous agents can stake MYR to access scarce network resources. These may include higher API throughput, low-latency market data, probability feeds, resolution infrastructure, programmatic market creation, execution services and premium intelligence.

MYR will also align the people supplying information, distribution, capital, liquidity and computation. Holders and stakers will receive benefits such as reduced transaction costs, enhanced data access and premium products or services.

Economic activity across The Information Exchange will generate revenue. Portions of network economics will be directed toward open-market acquisition of MYR, supply reduction (Buyback + Burn), staking incentives, network rewards, treasury funding and ecosystem development.

This creates demand connected to the use and growth of the network rather than to speculation alone. The purpose is not to attach a token to a collection of unrelated products. It is to give an expanding information network a common economic language.

One token, infinite possibilities

The history of Decrypt, Rug Radio and Myriad is the history of one idea becoming clearer.

The Information Exchange brings our accrued capabilities together. Prediction markets remain central to it because probabilities are among the clearest and most useful expressions of collective belief. But they are one product within a much larger opportunity.

We are building a network in which people can understand what happened, see what markets believe happens next and participate directly; a network in which creators and publishers can share in the financial activity their information produces.

In a world where everything is being financialized, including attention itself, people should be able to benefit from what they know and participate in the markets their activity helps create.

This was the founding purpose of Myriad. Everything we have built and learned has brought us back to it.

One network for information and participation. One unifying technical layer. One token connecting every product and every participant.

Expect a staggered product rollout over the coming weeks, leading into Solana Breakpoint.
