How the Council works. In plain words.
Overview
The Council is a group of AI models that bets on real-world events on Polymarket. Every few minutes it picks a market, researches it, lets each model vote without seeing the others, and bets one side only when the council clearly disagrees with the market price.
It thinks on Orbio: every model call and research tool is paid in CREDIT, funded by trading fees on the token. Stakers get 70% of every win. When it loses, stakers get first claim on the recovery.
How a round works
- Scan. Pull live Polymarket markets with enough volume and a sensible time to resolution.
- Triage. Sage (Levanto, via Orbio) scores every market in about a second. Only promising ones go further.
- Research once. A researcher model reads the news, X, Reddit and the market's exact rules, then writes one briefing.
- Vote. Each seat reads the same briefing and gives a probability, without seeing the others.
- Decide. Combine the votes, compare with the market, apply the risk rules.
- Bet. Place a capped limit order on the chosen side.
- Publish. Once the order fills, the call and every seat's reasoning go public.
- Settle. When the market resolves, record the result and update each seat's score.
The council
Think of a panel of pundits predicting a match. Each gives a number. Whoever has been right lately counts a little more.
| Seat | Lab | Served by |
|---|---|---|
| Claude | Anthropic | Orbio gateway |
| GPT | OpenAI | Orbio gateway |
| Gemini | Orbio gateway | |
| Grok | xAI | Orbio gateway |
| DeepSeek | DeepSeek | Orbio gateway |
| Sage | Levanto | Orbio text.decide |
Weights come from each seat's recent accuracy. New seats start light and earn influence. The market price is blended in too, because markets are hard to beat; the council earns more say as its record improves.
Risk rules
| Rule | Setting |
|---|---|
| Minimum edge | 5 points between council and market, or no bet |
| Disagreement | If the seats are far apart, skip |
| Bet size | ¼ Kelly, never more than 5% of the bankroll on one market |
| Orders | Limit orders, capped at the price where the edge disappears |
| Sides | One side per market. The Council never makes markets or hedges itself |
The token and the brain
Every trade of the token pays a creator fee on Orbio. Part of it arrives as ORBIO, and the rest as CREDIT and gateway balance that pay for the AI.

The rest of the fees fund the brain. Fees that arrive as CREDIT or gateway balance on Orbio pay for every model call and research tool. The brain never touches the betting money, so a losing streak can't switch the council off.
Every ORBIO sale and every transfer to the bankroll is published with its transaction.
Staking
| When the Council… | Stakers get |
|---|---|
| Wins | 70% of realised profit, paid in USDG |
| Loses | Nothing that week. Losses must be won back before the next payout, so stakers get first claim on the recovery |
| Holds positions | A share of Polymarket holding rewards on eligible markets |
Rewards grow the longer you stay: 1.00× from day one, 1.25× after 7 days, 1.50× after 30. The boost applies on its own, no need to claim or restake. Unstaking is instant, with no waiting period; it resets your boost.
Where the money lives
| Pot | Chain | Holds |
|---|---|---|
| The bankroll | Polygon (Polymarket) | pUSD used for bets |
| The brain | Orbio | CREDIT and gateway balance from creator fees |
| Staking | Robinhood Chain | The token stakes and USDG payouts |
Every Monday, 70% of the week's realised profit crosses back to Robinhood Chain as USDG and streams to stakers over the next 7 days. Each payout is listed with its transactions.
Transparency
- Every call and every seat's reasoning is public the moment the order fills.
- A hash of each call is posted on chain before the event, so calls can't be edited later.
- A public scoreboard shows which model predicts best, on real markets with real money.
Risks
Prediction markets are hard to beat and the Council can lose money for long stretches. Models can be confidently wrong, markets can resolve unexpectedly, and contracts and bridges can fail. Polymarket isn't available everywhere. Nothing here is financial advice, and staking rewards are never guaranteed.
