# Lotus Documentation

Lotus is a terminal that sits on top of prediction markets.

It helps traders monitor, prioritize, and act on market information.

Lotus does not custody funds, execute trades, or resolve markets.

### Final note

Lotus is built to help traders understand and act on prediction markets more effectively.

It is not about predicting outcomes.

It is about seeing what matters, when it matters.
