Official FIFA World Cup 2026 prediction-market partner ADI Predictstreet is turning to Chainlink to power its on-chain betting platform. The company has adopted Chainlink as its exclusive oracle infrastructure to resolve markets with verified FIFA data and to enable near‑instant payouts for what may be the world’s most watched sports event, with more than 6 billion fans expected to tune in.
FIFA named ADI Predictstreet the first‑ever Official Prediction Market Partner of the FIFA World Cup 2026, under a multi‑year deal. Built on Abu Dhabi–based ADI Chain, the platform will let fans forecast match results and tournament stats. It will also let them predict standout players and key moments using official FIFA historical data.
Organizers say their goal is to give billions of football fans an on‑chain prediction option. They want those fans to place predictions across all 104 matches.
Predictstreet runs as ADI Chain’s first consumer‑facing app and operates under a Gibraltar license, which the team says helps it meet global compliance standards. ADI Chain uses ZKsync’s Airbender zero‑knowledge proof tech and has undergone audits from OpenZeppelin and Hacken, according to the launch materials. That setup aims to combine public‑chain transparency with institutional‑style safeguards around fairness and participant protection.
Why Predictstreet Chose Chainlink
To handle World Cup scale, Predictstreet integrated Chainlink’s oracle network and its Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) to automate market creation, resolution and settlement. Chainlink will pull real‑time match results from trusted FIFA data sources and write them on‑chain, which allows smart contracts to settle winning and losing positions without manual intervention. This approach tackles long‑standing issues in sports prediction markets, such as slow human adjudication, disputes over outcomes and delayed withdrawals.
“We’re excited to partner with the official prediction market partner of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, ADI Predictstreet, and support their adoption of Chainlink as its exclusive oracle infrastructure,” Chainlink Labs Chief Business Officer Johann Eid said. He added that Chainlink’s orchestration stack “unlocks real‑time prediction markets that settle with high‑quality data and lead to fair outcomes and fast payouts.” Predictstreet’s CEO similarly said the integration will help deliver “transparent outcome verification and rapid payouts” to users who participate in World Cup‑linked markets.
As the tournament approaches, Predictstreet plans to embed its prediction tools across FIFA’s digital channels and fan festivals, while ADI Chain pitches the product as a proof point for large‑scale, compliant crypto apps tied to global events.
