How She Built Solana’s Most Precise Prediction Market | Anam Ansari (Trepa)

Описание: In this episode of the Superteam India Podcast, we sit down with Anam Ansari, Blockchain Engineer at Trepa — a precision prediction market built on Solana where you don't just bet yes or no, you predict exact numbers and get rewarded based on accuracy.

We go deep into the technical architecture: why they store predictions in logs instead of on-chain, how RPC providers can silently truncate your program logs at 12KB, the emit CPI fix that saved them, why they rebuilt V1 from scratch over missing reserved bytes in their PDAs, and the real cost challenges of sponsoring gas fees for a consumer app on Solana.
