# PREAMBLE: THE NATURE OF OUR SERVICE Whale Prediction (the "Platform" or "Interface") is a web-based user interface that functions as a liquidity aggregator and order router. **CRITICAL NOTICE:** * **WE ARE NOT AN EXCHANGE:** The Platform does not match orders or hold custody of user assets. * **WE ARE NOT THE COUNTERPARTY:** When you trade, you are interacting with underlying third-party decentralized protocols (including but not limited to **Polymarket** and **Kalshi**—collectively, the "Underlying Venues"). * **NO CUSTODY:** Your funds are settled directly on the blockchain or within the smart contracts of the Underlying Venues. We do not have the ability to freeze, seize, or recover your funds. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
