Create a market
Step-by-step market creation wizard.
At a glance
Creation submits a draft — pay the listing fee on the fund page to go live. Pool liquidity comes from traders, not a creator seed deposit.
Market creators define the question, outcomes, resolution source, and branding image. The wizard validates each step before you can submit. After submission you must pay the listing fee on the fund page — creation alone does not list the market for trading.

Open the wizard
Use Predictions → Create, the overview banner CTA, or the sidebar Create shortcut. Connect your wallet if prompted — only connected wallets can submit.

Add market image
Upload a square or landscape image for cards and the detail header. Skip if you prefer the default gradient initials badge. Images should be readable at small sizes.

Set category & resolution source
Category drives discovery filters. Data source determines which oracle fields appear — sports templates ask for league and event date, politics templates emphasize resolution URLs.

Write the question
Phrase the market clearly: one verifiable question, unambiguous Yes/No or named outcomes. Avoid subjective wording that makes oracle resolution contentious. Preview how the title wraps on a card.

Accept terms & submit
Check the terms box and submit. You are redirected to the fund page. Drafts are saved so you can return and finish funding later.
