GRID has entered into a partnership with Sportstensor, the official market maker and liquidity provider for Polymarket, to supply verified esports data for use in prediction markets.
Under the agreement, GRID becomes the official esports data oracle for Sportstensor, providing live, rights-compliant data across major esports titles including Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, League of Legends, and VALORANT. The data will be sourced through GRID’s existing partnerships with game publishers and tournament organisers.
In decentralized prediction markets, data oracles deliver verified real-world information to blockchain-based systems. GRID’s official match data will allow Sportstensor to offer prediction markets that rely on accurate and authenticated outcomes. This includes granular, server-level data enabling new market types, such as statistics-driven bets based on specific in-game events.
The collaboration strengthens GRID’s role as a primary provider of official esports data within the igaming and blockchain sectors while extending Sportstensor’s capabilities in powering data-backed prediction markets.
“Prediction markets are emerging as one of the fastest-growing frontiers for digital engagement,” said Dominika Szot, VP of Growth at GRID. “Esports, a sport digital by nature, is a natural fit within that ecosystem. Integrity in settlement is critical, and official data provides the foundation to ensure predictions remain fair, transparent, and tamper-proof while adding new dimensions of entertainment value.”
“Prediction markets depend on trust, not just between traders, but in the accuracy of outcomes that underpin every contract,” Leo Chan, Co-founder & CEO of Sportstensor. “Partnering with GRID ensures our esports markets are settled using verified, rights-compliant data straight from the source. That allows us to design richer and more engaging markets for Polymarket users, uniquely enabled by official data.’’
