# Chironus > Practical tools, and knowledge from a network of verified experts, applied to prediction markets. Prediction markets trade on real events, from elections and rate decisions to championships and the weather. Most of the activity on them today is unresearched, short-term speculation, and most participants lose money. Chironus exists to change that: independent, practical tools (a market scanner, real-time alerts and a practice trading desk), structured education and analysis, and a network of verified subject-matter experts in active development. Our mission is to maximize the positive impact prediction markets can have on society, for individual traders and small businesses. The goal is an industry that matures past speculation into a useful tool for managing risk. ## Market Tools - [Prediction Market Scanner](https://chironus.com/scanner): Live scanner comparing prices for all liquid markets across Kalshi and Polymarket, with spreads, volume, and liquidity at a glance. - [Paper Trading Prediction Markets](https://chironus.com/paper-trading): The free practice desk: mock trades that fill at real market prices, and a record of win rate, return, and strategy performance built to practice, review and improve trading strategies before trading with real money. - [Plans and Alerts](https://chironus.com/pricing): Free accounts follow events, receive a weekly digest, and trade the practice desk; Pro adds unlimited follows and real-time alerts. ## Prediction Market Topics - [Climate & Weather Prediction Markets](https://chironus.com/climate-weather-prediction-markets): Every climate and weather prediction market on Kalshi and Polymarket, priced live.
