What is Polymarket?

Polymarket is a decentralized prediction market where you can trade on the outcomes of real-world events using cryptocurrency.

How It Works

  • 1Markets are created for real-world events (elections, sports, crypto prices, etc.)
  • 2You buy "YES" or "NO" shares based on your prediction
  • 3Share prices range from $0.01 to $0.99 based on probability
  • 4If you're right, your shares pay out $1.00 each!

Example: 2x Your Money

If "YES" shares cost $0.50 and you're right, you double your money! Buy 100 shares for $50, get $100 back if the event happens.
