Pear

Pear is a social trading terminal for prediction markets, built on Solana. It launched its open beta at beta.pear.trade on July 15, 2026, positioning itself as a social layer above prediction markets rather than another venue to trade on. The core business is aggregating markets from multiple prediction platforms into a single account and interface, allowing users to track top traders, discover markets, and execute trades across venues without switching apps. Categories include World Cup, Sports, Politics, Crypto, Culture, and Tech, with a unified portfolio tracker and P&L view.

The core value proposition is social trading applied to prediction markets. Instead of opening a position and moving on, users can follow experienced traders, view their active positions across categories, and surface markets they might not otherwise discover. The tagline "Back your instincts. Follow top traders, discover markets, and trade what you believe" captures the intended pattern: surfacing personal conviction and social signal while leaving execution to the user.

The market pain point is audience fragmentation. Traders navigate between separate apps for sports, politics, and crypto with no shared social context. Pear solves this by bringing prediction markets into a single social, mobile-first experience, with one login and one portfolio view spanning multiple underlying markets.

In the past six months (2026-03-13 to 2026-09-13), Pear launched its waitlist on June 9 with a single post that drew 25,900 likes, 25,800 retweets, and 564,000 views. Six weeks later, the open beta went live on July 15, crossing 80,000 views within 14 hours. A rewards program running since June continues alongside the beta, with users earning points through quests: social tasks, daily streaks, Pear Posts, Pear Clips, and referrals, with a 2x onboarding bonus. No token or airdrop has been confirmed; points are speculative at this stage.
