What is Totalis?

Totalis is the derivatives layer for prediction markets. We let you take bets from different prediction market venues, stack them together, and build custom structured positions like parlays. Our first product is custom parlays on prediction markets. You pick outcomes across multiple markets, combine them into a single leveraged bet, and market makers compete to give you the best payout odds. All trades are facilitated through our infrastructure — a request-for-quote (RFQ) system for price discovery and non-custodial Solana vault settlement. We currently support Kalshi and Polymarket as underlying market venues, with other prediction market platforms coming soon.

​
What markets does Totalis offer?

We currently offer markets that:
  • Are recurring
  • Have reliable liquidity on the underlying platform
  • Settle within one week
These include structured combinations across sports, macro, politics, crypto, and weather events. For a detailed and up-to-date list of supported markets, users can query our public API endpoint (https://docs.totalis.trade/api-reference/markets/list). Our focus is on high-frequency, short-duration markets that enable continuous structured positioning and rapid capital turnover.

​
What chain are you on?

Totalis runs on Solana. All vaults, positions, and settlements are executed on-chain via our parlay_vaults Anchor program. Each participant has a persistent vault that holds their collateral across all positions.

​
What are the bet and leg limits?

ParameterLimit
Legs per parlay2 - 5
Bet amount1−1 - 100 USDC
Payout odds1.01x - 1000x

​
How does RFQ work exactly?

See the RFQ Lifecycle guide for a detailed walkthrough of the full flow from creation to settlement.

​
How secure is it?

All funds are held in Solana vault PDAs (Program Derived Addresses) — not by Totalis. Each participant has a persistent on-chain vault derived from their wallet address. When a trade is matched, both the user’s stake and the market maker’s collateral are locked atomically in their vaults via a single create_position transaction. Neither party can withdraw locked collateral unilaterally; only the settlement authority can release funds, and only based on the verified outcome from Kalshi. Users can optionally grant permission for the server to help sign transactions for smoother UX. We use secure embedded wallets (Privy TEE) where private keys never leave the Trusted Execution Environment. Collateral is locked only for the duration of the position and settles automatically upon resolution. Market makers benefit from portfolio margining — the system uses ILP (Integer Linear Programming) to calculate incremental worst-case exposure, so hedged or correlated positions require less collateral than naive summation. For full details, see the Vault Architecture guide.

​
What happens if a market gets cancelled on the underlying venue?

If a market on the underlying venue is cancelled or delisted before all legs in a parlay have resolved, the vault-settlement-service detects the invalid leg and executes cancel_position, which unlocks both the user’s and market maker’s collateral in their respective vaults. No party loses funds due to an external market cancellation.

​
Will you add markets from other prediction markets? Can I make cross-platform parlays?

Yes. Totalis is built as a venue-agnostic derivatives layer — our infrastructure is designed to aggregate markets across prediction market platforms.

​
Can’t I just do this on Kalshi?

Kalshi only offers combos on specific sports markets with very limited options. This is because Kalshi has to create an orderbook for every single combination of their combos, which is highly inefficient. Totalis takes a different approach — we sit on top of prediction markets as a derivatives layer and use an RFQ system to price any combination of outcomes. This means you can construct parlays on markets across sports, crypto, weather, entertainment, and economic events, and eventually combine bets across multiple venues in a single parlay.

​
Are you an exchange?

Totalis is a derivatives layer that sits on top of prediction markets. We facilitate peer-to-peer structured transactions between users and market makers, settled on-chain via Solana vaults. We don’t operate a traditional central limit order book or list primary markets — we aggregate outcomes from existing venues and enable new structured products like parlays on top of them.

​
How does Totalis make money?

We take a 1% fee on the profit earned by the winning side of each trade. For example, if you bet 100 at 4x odds and all legs hit, your total payout is 400. Your profit is 300, so Totalis takes 3 (1% of 300). You receive 397.
