What are event contracts and how do they differ from prediction markets?

Event contracts and prediction markets are functionally identical. Both let users trade on real-world outcomes using binary shares. The term "event contract" is used in regulated financial contexts, particularly for CFTC-regulated exchanges like Kalshi in the United States. If you are launching in a regulated jurisdiction and need compliance-grade infrastructure, Vinfotech can help you build a regulated event contract platform with position limits, audit trails, and regulatory reporting, using the same underlying prediction market technology.
