Fund & deploy a market
Pay the protocol listing fee and optionally deploy on-chain.
At a glance
Pay the protocol listing fee in USDC or SOL. On-chain deploy uses Phantom; traders fund the USDC pool when they buy shares.
Funding pays the protocol listing fee ($10 USDC or SOL equivalent at live price) — not a creator-chosen seed pool. On USDC parimutuel markets, trading liquidity builds when users buy shares. When on-chain programs are enabled, Phantom also signs the create-market deploy.

Choose fee asset
Select USDC or SOL for the listing fee. SOL amount tracks the live price feed. Keep extra SOL in your wallet for rent and network fees on the deploy transaction.

Confirm in Phantom
When on-chain deploy is enabled, approve the create-market transaction in Phantom. The listing fee goes to protocol treasury; traders add USDC pool depth when they buy shares.
