This is the official documentation for **PreToke** — a place where you can trade on the outcome of real-world events (sports, crypto, politics, and more) using your TON wallet. > **New here?** Start with [What Is This?](/getting-started/what-is-this.md), then [Connect Your Wallet](/getting-started/connecting-your-wallet.md). > > **Building an integration?** Jump straight to the [API Reference](/api-reference/overview.md). ## What you'll find in these docs * **Getting Started** — connect your wallet, deposit funds, and place your first trade. * **Using the Platform** — a walkthrough of browsing markets, trading, tracking your portfolio, and cashing out. * **How It Works** — a plain-language explanation of what happens behind the scenes when you trade, and how the system settles everything on the TON blockchain. * **Smart Contracts** — technical reference for the on-chain contracts that power the platform, for developers and auditors. * **API Reference** — a complete reference for every REST endpoint and WebSocket event, for anyone building a bot, dashboard, or integration. ## The short version Every market on the platform asks a yes/or/no question about something happening in the real world — "Will Bitcoin close above $100,000 this week?" for example. You buy **YES** or **NO** shares. If you're right, each winning share pays out **1 USDT** (a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar) when the market resolves. If you're wrong, your shares pay out nothing. Prices move between $0.01 and $0.99 and reflect the market's live probability estimate — a price of $0.65 for YES roughly means the market thinks there's a 65% chance of "yes." You can buy low and sell high before the market even resolves, just like a stock. Everything you deposit and withdraw is backed by real positions on the TON blockchain, secured by open-source smart contracts described in the [Smart Contracts](/smart-contracts/condition-registry.md) section. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.pretoke.xyz/introduction.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
