0DTE Outcome Markets on Solana

What it does

Each contract asks “Will this stock close at or above the strike today?” and pays $1.00 in test USDC to YES or NO. Markets are created every trading morning, trade on an on-chain order book, settle from an oracle after the 4:00 PM ET close, and winners redeem. It runs on Solana devnet with test funds only.
