Use case
Sports outcome markets
Who wins, by how much, resolved from the official scoreboard.
The problem
Sports markets are trivial to phrase and hard to settle honestly at scale: hundreds of fixtures a week, each needing a result pulled from an authoritative source and applied without operator bias. Delegating that to a bookmaker or a data reseller reintroduces the trusted third party.
How Mentat does it
A Mentat sports market points at the league or federation results API as its source allowlist. After the fixture, a proof submitter earns a bounty for the fastest valid zkTLS attestation of the final result. The Validator agent enforces unambiguous phrasing (regulation vs overtime, postponements, forfeits) before the market ever ships.
A concrete example
Market question
Will the home side win in regulation per the official league results API for fixture #4821?
Source allowlist
Official league/federation results APIs, sanctioned data feeds
The Draft agent writes the resolution criteria and invalidation clause; the Validator agent rejects anything a source can't attest to; a curator signs off; a zkTLS proof settles it on Solana. See how it works.
