Fees
💸 Fees
PredictBase is fully decentralized and transparent — and so is the fee model. Here’s a full breakdown of fees you may encounter while using the platform.
🔨 Market Creation Fee
0.001 ETH
Paid once when creating a new market
Covers gas costs and admin review
Non-refundable, even if the market is rejected or canceled
💡 This helps prevent spam or low-quality markets and ensures each submission is thoughtful and deliberate.
🧾 Betting Fee (2% Total)
Each bet includes a 2% transaction fee, which is split evenly:
Creator Fee
1%
Paid to the market creator after the market is resolved
Protocol Fee
1%
Used to fund PredictBase development, infrastructure & audits
These fees are calculated on top of your bet amount.
Example:
You want to bet 100 USDC
You’ll need 102 USDC (100 USDC + 2% fee)
If your option wins, your payout is still based on the full 100 USDC
🏛 What Are Fees Used For?
Paying market creators to incentivize good, well-structured markets
Supporting platform development and future improvements

📉 No Hidden Costs
