# Creating a Market

### Creating a Market

PredictBase is permissionless — anyone can create a prediction market on a real-world event.

Creating a market allows you to:

* Ask any yes/no or multi-option question
* Set the rules and resolution source
* Earn **1% of the total volume** on your market.

Fees are deducted from every trade automatically and sent directly to the creator’s PredictBase account — you don’t need to wait for the market to resolve to receive them.

***

#### Step-by-Step: How to Create a Market

1. Go to <https://predictbase.app/create>
2. Enter the topic you want to create a market about (e.g., *Real Madrid game tomorrow*)
3. Press the **AI Generate** button
4. Review the market question, options, and details
5. Add your image
6. Pay a 1 USDC Fee
7. Click Create Market

***

#### Injecting Liquidity To Your Market

* You can **provide liquidity** by **minting shares**.
* Go to your **market page**, click **Mint**, and enter the **amount you want to mint**.
* For **each $1**, you receive **1 share of each option**.
* You can then:
  * Place **limit orders** and sell shares to buyers
  * Or **hold them** in your account

***

#### Market Image

Including an image makes your market stand out and appear more credible — especially when sharing on social media or featuring in trending lists. It can also increase your chances of being selected for the **PredictBase Liquidity Program.**

**Tips:**

* Choose a **relevant image** that matches the market topic:
  * Crypto prediction → Use a token logo or price chart
  * Sports market → Use team logos or match banners
  * Political event → Candidate photos or official logos
* Upload high-quality images (JPG/PNG preferred)
* Recommended size: **600x600 pixels** for best preview

**Examples:**

* *“Will BTC close above $70,000 on May 1st?”* → Bitcoin price chart
* *“Will Team A win the championship?”* → Team logos
* *“Will ETH ETF be approved?”* → Ethereum logo + SEC banner

> ⚠ **Misleading or irrelevant images may result in your market being canceled.**

***

#### Markets Creation Terms

By creating a market, you agree to the [Market Creation Terms](/docs/resources/market-creation-terms.md).

***

#### You Can Create Multiple Markets

There is no limit — you can create as many markets as you want. Build a reputation as a top creator and bring your community to PredictBase.

***

#### Creator Revenue

* You earn **1%** of all the trades placed in your market
* Your creator revenue is automatically paid out in **USDC** when the market resolves
* The more volume and engagement your market attracts, the more you earn
