Prediction Market for Creators
A creator who launches the right markets can earn five-figure annual income from a portfolio of well-chosen questions in their domain. The economics are simple, the payout is on-chain, and the AI oracle handles resolution so you don't have to.
The economics
0.5% of every trade on a market you created flows directly to your wallet. In real time. No vesting, no lockup, no review process for withdrawals.
| Market lifetime volume | Creator earns |
|---|---|
| $10,000 | $50 |
| $50,000 | $250 |
| $100,000 | $500 |
| $500,000 | $2,500 |
| $1,000,000 | $5,000 |
| $10,000,000 | $50,000 |
Most creators don't hit $1M on a single market. They hit it across a portfolio of 30-100 markets that each do $10-100k in volume. Compounded across a few months that's serious money.
Who does well as a creator
- Sports specialists — you follow a league closely, you know which fixtures will draw interest, you can write tight matchup questions.
- Crypto traders — you have a price thesis and a Twitter/Farcaster audience that trades on it.
- Content creators — your audience trusts your judgment on a topic. They trade on questions you create.
- Domain experts — politics, esports, tech, culture, regional sports leagues.
- Power traders — you spot questions that should exist and aren't being made.
How to maximize earnings
1. Cover topics nobody else covers
Polymarket and Kalshi cover US politics + major sports densely. Everything else is a long tail nobody's serving. Niche sports leagues, regional politics, esports, tech launches, crypto altseason, music charts, awards — whichever you know best.
2. Time markets to event spikes
A market for a Premier League fixture launched 5 days before kickoff captures the full pre-match trading curve. Same fixture launched on the day captures only a fraction.
3. Distribute aggressively
Share the market URL on X, Discord, Farcaster, your newsletter. The 0.5% only happens when there's volume. The platform's own discovery surfaces help, but creators who actively distribute earn 5-10x more.
4. Build a portfolio, not a one-shot
One viral market is a lottery ticket. 30 reliable markets in your domain is a business. Top creators have a "season schedule" — a steady stream of new markets each week.
5. Pick markets the LSMR likes
The LSMR market maker provides instant liquidity from market open. But thin markets see thin trading. Markets that have a clear narrative, recurring schedule, or audience get the best volume.

FAQ
How does the fee structure work?
0.5% is the creator fee, paid by traders on every trade. There is no separate per-trade trading fee on top. Earnings accrue to your balance in real time. When you withdraw those earnings, a 30% platform fee is deducted — that is the only platform charge on creator earnings.
What happens to my fees if my market is voided?
Voided markets don't pay creator fees. The fee accrues only on completed trades that aren't refunded.
Can I sell the rights to a market I created?
Not at v1. Future versions may support transferable creator rights.
What if the fee structure changes?
Your 0.5% creator rate is locked at market creation. Future changes apply to new markets only.
