Introducing Project Tags on Oriole Insights!

With this update, we’ve added project tags to every listing inside the UP/DOWN Prediction Markets. Each project is now marked with tags that identify the categories to which it belongs, making navigation easier and more intuitive. In the near future, tags will also be rolled out across ROI & Initial Listing Prediction Markets.

The goal is straightforward: improved categorization, faster search, and a smoother experience for all platform users. Tags also work as an additional filter, letting you narrow results to the exact type of projects you’re looking for. 

To try it out, click on the filter icon (see screenshot) and type the category you want in the search bar.

Now, let’s take a closer look at which categories exist today and what each of them means.

Ecosystem Tags

In addition to functional categories, the platform also includes ecosystem tags, which indicate the blockchain environment to which a project belongs. These tags make it easy to identify whether a project is part of a larger network or community, helping users understand its technical foundation and potential integrations.

Available ecosystem tags include: Ethereum Ecosystem, Solana Ecosystem, BNB Ecosystem, Base Ecosystem, Bitcoin Ecosystem, TON Ecosystem, TRON Ecosystem, Hyperliquid Ecosystem, Polygon Ecosystem, Near Ecosystem, SUI Ecosystem, Polkadot Ecosystem, Cosmos Ecosystem, Aptos Ecosystem, Avalanche Ecosystem, Bittensor Ecosystem, Cardano Ecosystem, Dogecoin Ecosystem, NEO Ecosystem, Optimism Ecosystem, StarkNet Ecosystem.

Technical Oriole Insights Tags

Alongside categories and ecosystems, some projects may also carry technical tags specific to Oriole Insights. These indicate the project’s current status on the platform:

• Monitoring – Assigned to projects with low trading volume, limited user activity, and very few predictions. This tag signals a warning stage that may last from several days to a few weeks.

• DELISTED – Applied when a project fails to improve after the monitoring period. While historical stats and past predictions remain visible, no new predictions can be made once a project is delisted.
