# 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** placed on your market

***

#### 🧱 Market Creation Overview

When you create a market, you define:

* **Market question** — clear, concise, objective
* **Options** — e.g., “Yes / No”, “Team A / Team B”
* **End date** — after which no more bets can be placed
* **Resolution resource** — URL or explanation used to verify the outcome
* **Category** — used for filtering (e.g., Crypto, Sports, Politics)
* **Image** (optional) — used to visually represent the market

***

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

1. Go to [https://predictbase.app](https://predictbase.app)
2. Click on **Create Market**
3. Fill out:
   * A clear and unbiased market question
   * A verifiable resolution source (URL or description)
   * A category and optional image
   * The outcome options (minimum 2, but supports more)
   * The market end time (in your local time)
4. Pay a small **market creation fee** (0.001 ETH)
5. Submit and approve the transaction in your wallet

Your market will be reviewed and either approved or rejected by an admin.

***

#### 🖼️ Adding an Image (Optional)

Including an image makes your market stand out and appear more credible — especially when sharing it on social media or showcasing it in trending lists.

**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 rejected.**

📜 Market Creation Terms

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

🔧 This ensures your market meets our clarity, ethics, and verification standards — while still preserving your original intent.

***

#### 💰 Creator Revenue

If your market is approved and goes live:

* You earn **1% of all volume** placed in the 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

***

#### 🛠 Admin Review Process

All markets are subject to a short admin review before going public:

* ✅ Approved → Market becomes active
* ❌ Rejected → Market does not go live (fee is not refunded)

Reviews typically happen within 24 hours.

***

#### 🔄 You Can Create Multiple Markets
