## Resource

We speak with Shresth Agrawal, CEO and Co-Founder of Pod Network, about building fair, high-performance decentralized markets. Today’s prediction markets and on-chain trading systems often suffer from latency, MEV extraction, and information asymmetry that can disadvantage retail traders. Shresth explains how Pod Network is approaching market design differently to create systems that are faster, fairer, and capable of reaching NASDAQ-scale performance while remaining decentralized.We explore what’s broken in current prediction markets like Polymarket and other on-chain trading venues, why latency and finality are critical to fair trading, and how Pod’s architecture aims to eliminate structural advantages that sophisticated players exploit today. From the role of MEV in market outcomes to the technical roadmap for 200ms finality and institutional-grade infrastructure, this conversation looks at what it will take for decentralized markets to compete with traditional financial exchanges. 🔗 Learn more: https://pod.network Twitter (X): https://x.com/poddotnetwork 🔔JOIN OUR FREE NEWSLETTER FOR 100X GAINS🔔: https://cryptocoinshow.substack.com/subscribe
