Claiming Winnings

Claiming Winnings

Once a market you’ve participated in has been resolved and your prediction was correct, you can claim your payout directly to your wallet. PredictBase uses smart contracts to handle payouts — no middlemen, no delays.


When Can You Claim?

You can claim your winnings when:

  • The market is resolved

  • Your chosen option is marked as the winning outcome

  • You see a "Claim" button next to your position in the dashboard


Step-by-Step: Claiming Your Winnings

  1. Navigate to the Dashboard

  2. Click on the My Positions tab

  3. Locate your resolved Position (it will say “Win”)

  4. Click the Claim button

  5. Confirm the transaction in your wallet

Your USDC will be sent directly to your wallet balance after confirmation.


How Are Winnings Calculated?

Each winning share of an option you hold earns $1.


What If You Don't Claim?

  • Your funds remain available to claim forever — they will never expire.

  • You are responsible for triggering the claim transaction.

  • Gas fees apply (in ETH on Base) — but they are typically very low.


What If the Market Was Canceled?

If the market was canceled (e.g., ambiguous outcome, unresolved event):

  • Your position becomes refundable

  • You see a "Claim" button next to your position in the dashboard

  • You can claim back your full USDC stake + any protocol/creator fees you paid


Notes

  • Claims are final and handled entirely by the smart contract

  • PredictBase never holds your funds or makes manual payouts


Congratulations on your win! 🎉 Head back to the Markets and keep predicting!
