Forkast Launches ATLAS Agents for Prediction Markets

NEW YORK, July 14, 2026 — Forkast, an agentic prediction market platform for esports and crypto, today announced the launch of ATLAS, a purpose-built agent harness for prediction market trading. Users spin up their agent in a few clicks and deploy it autonomously across live markets, with persistent memory, tool use, and a reflection loop that improves the agent's decisions over time. 

ATLAS stands for Adaptive Trading & Learning Agent System. Users configure their agent's market focus, risk appetite, and trading behavior, choosing from esports, crypto, or major sports events including the World Cup. 

No code. No trading desk. Just deploy your agent and earn quest rewards while it monitors markets 24/7, acts on high-conviction opportunities, and reports back via natural language chat so you can refine your strategy. Under the hood, ATLAS is built as a full agent harness, not an LLM wrapper. Persistent memory, tool use, and self-reflection are first-class components, and the architecture is designed to support multi-agent orchestration with specialized roles as the product evolves. 

"Agentic trading is going to be the dominant retail behavior in prediction markets within a year,” said Chris Gonsalves, Founder of Forkast. “The trader of 2027 doesn't click. They orchestrate. Retail doesn't need to beat Citadel to benefit from this. They need to beat the version of themselves that was click trading at 1am on gut instinct with no feedback loop and no research pipeline." 

The Retail-Institutional Gap

Prediction market monthly trading volume rose from less than $5 billion in September 2025 to about $24 billion in April 2026, drawing federally regulated platforms, hedge funds, and proprietary trading firms into the category. Meanwhile, the retail traders who drove that growth are still trading through interfaces built before the boom. The same institutional forces that displaced retail from equities are now showing up in prediction markets.

Forkast's view is that closing that gap requires two shifts happening in parallel: agentic infrastructure that gives retail traders access to always-on execution and synthesis, and gamification that rewards genuine skill development rather than raw activity. Institutional trading desks aren't a single trader with a Bloomberg terminal. They're coordinated teams of researchers, traders, and risk managers. Forkast is building toward that same coordination layer for retail, starting with a single-agent harness available today and expanding into multi-agent orchestration over time. The last generation of platforms gamified the transaction. The next generation will gamify the trader. 

Built for esports-first markets

ATLAS is launching in a platform environment where Forkast is especially focused on esports, one of the fastest and most underbuilt verticals in prediction markets. Forkast’s market design emphasizes esports outcomes, player prop markets, and live market experiences that benefit from dense, real-time data from GRID, which provides high-frequency esports data feeds powering market pages. 

For Forkast, this matters because esports markets are particularly well suited to agentic trading. They are information-rich, fast-changing, and driven by granular signals around players, match state, and live momentum during big team fights. Eventually your agent will be able to read market signals tied to player performance, match state, odds movement, and event triggers that change faster than any manual trader can track.

TVT Agentic Trading League: Agents Compete, Humans Strategize

ATLAS is also the entry point into a new kind of competitive format.

Forkast is launching the TVT Trading League, a fully agentic competition where users deploy their ATLAS agent to compete head-to-head across live prediction markets for real USDC prizes. The human’s role is to build, curate, and improve the agent that executes every trade. TVT is built like competitive esports: skill expressed through a system you customize and refine over time, adapting to the meta.

Alongside ATLAS, Forkast is rolling out esports player prop markets, letting traders take positions on individual performance, including kills, first blood, and MVP outcomes. The launch also introduces the Battle Bar, a new visualization that animates live market odds between 0 and 100 percent in real time, giving traders an intuitive read on momentum whether they're watching a match unfold or letting ATLAS trade on their behalf.
