For creators
Write the question. Earn from the trading.
Any user can request a 369X market. If review approves it, the market goes live and its creator receives 0.5% of eligible trading volume for the market’s whole active life. Creators post a small refundable bond, not market-making capital.
From request to resolution
- 1
Spot it
An election, a fixture, a token launch or a viral debate with no market yet.
- 2
Request it
Submit the question, category, end date, resolution source and outcomes, with a small $369X bond.
- 3
Review
369X checks it is clear, verifiable, lawful and not a duplicate. Approval is required.
- 4
Live, then resolved
It trades with LMSR quotes from minute one and resolves through the standard bonded process.
Write a question that resolves
Well-written, resolvable questions are the scarce resource in prediction markets, not money. The test is simple: on the end date, could two strangers look at the named source and agree on the answer without a conversation?
Gets sent back
- “Will the new phone be a success?” (Success by what measure?)
- “Will the striker score soon?” (No end date.)
- “Will the minister resign over the scandal?” (Which scandal, and what if they resign for another reason?)
Resolves cleanly
- “Will the phone sell more than 5 million units by 31 December, per the maker’s quarterly report?”
- “Will the striker score in Saturday’s league match, per the league’s official match report?”
- “Will the minister leave office before 1 June, per the government’s official register?”
What a request includes
- Question
- One question, one reading. Avoid words like “soon”, “significant” or “likely”.
- Category
- Crypto, finance, sports, politics, culture, AI or another supported category
- End date
- The moment the market expires. Trading stops 1 hour before it.
- Resolution source
- The public source that decides the answer, named in advance
- Outcome options
- YES and NO for a binary market
What review checks, and why approval matters
Every request is reviewed before it goes live. Reviewers check four things: the question has a single clear meaning, a named public source can verify it, a market on it would be lawful, and it doesn’t duplicate a live market. Approval is not automatic, and a rejected request never trades.
Curation keeps markets resolvable. Without it, vague questions end in disputes, and disputes cost every trader time.
How the creator fee is calculated
An approved creator receives 0.5% of eligible trading volume on their market, on buys and sells alike, for as long as the market is active. It is a share of volume, not a share of the 2% fee and not a share of anyone’s profit.
Creator fee arithmetic
Arithmetic, not a forecast$500at 0.5% of eligible volume
| Eligible volume | Creator fee |
|---|---|
| $10,000 | $50 |
| $100,000 | $500 |
| $1,000,000 | $5,000 |
Only approved markets earn, only on eligible real volume, and only during the market’s active life. Volume is never guaranteed.
The listing bond
Creators post a small $369X bond with each request. It is a spam filter, not a fee: it is refunded when the market resolves cleanly and can be forfeited for spam or bad-faith markets. The bond amount is announced at launch.
No liquidity from you
On many on-chain designs the creator’s own money is the market’s liquidity, and it drains as prices converge. On 369X the protocol funds starting liquidity through the LMSR and the LP Vault, so creators don’t provide market-making capital.
What the creator fee is not
- Not guaranteed. A market nobody trades pays nothing, and most markets trade modestly.
- Not proof that you fund the other side. The LP Vault backs market making; creators don’t.
- Not available for unapproved or inactive markets, or on volume that isn’t eligible.
