Basics

What is 369X?

369X is a decentralised, non-custodial prediction-market platform on BNB Smart Chain where people trade YES/NO outcome shares on real-world events. $369X is its native BEP-20 token. It is launching on testnet first; mainnet and the token launch follow an independent security audit.

What is a prediction market?

A market where the thing being traded is the answer to a question. “Will the central bank cut rates in March?” gets a YES share and a NO share. The correct side redeems for $1 per share when the market settles and the other side pays nothing, so the price people pay reflects how likely they think each answer is. The full guide walks through an example.

How do YES and NO shares work?

Each market has two outcome shares. If YES trades at 58¢, NO trades near 42¢, because exactly one of them will be worth $1. Buy YES at 58¢ and you collect $1 per share if the event happens, or nothing if it doesn’t. Fees and price impact change the exact numbers; the price-reading guide covers them.

What happens if I win or lose?

After the outcome is final, each winning share redeems for $1 of the settlement stablecoin, claimed from the contract to your own wallet. Losing shares are worth zero. On a normal trade without leverage, the most you can lose is what you spent.

Can I sell before the result?

Yes. The LMSR market maker quotes a price while the market is open, so you can sell your shares back at the live price at any time until the trading cut-off, 1 hour before expiry. The sale pays its own 2% fee.

Why does trading stop an hour before expiry?

To stop last-second trading on information that is already effectively known, and to make it harder to push a price around at the close. After the cut-off the market waits for its result.

Using 369X

Do I need the $369X token to trade?

No. Markets are priced and settled in a USD stablecoin on BNB Smart Chain. The $369X token adds protocol-fee discounts, staking rewards, governance votes and the market-creation bond. You can trade without ever holding it.

Where do I trade?

In the 369X app at 369x.win (opens in a new tab), not on this website. The app is launching on testnet first, so balances there are test funds with no redeemable value. This website never asks you to connect a wallet, sign anything or send funds.

Which channels are official?

Only these four: the website 369x.online, the app at 369x.win (opens in a new tab), X X (opens in a new tab) (@x369official) and Telegram Telegram (opens in a new tab) (t.me/x369official). Bookmark them. 369X will never DM you first or ask for your seed phrase.

Which wallets and chain does 369X support?

369X runs on BNB Smart Chain. The app is designed to work with MetaMask, Trust Wallet, WalletConnect and Coinbase Wallet. There is no account sign-up form: your wallet is your login.

What is the difference between testnet and mainnet?

Testnet is a practice network. You trade with free test funds that have no redeemable value, so nothing you win or lose there is real money. Mainnet is the live network with real funds. 369X is launching on testnet first; mainnet follows an independent audit with no open critical issues.

Who decides the outcome of a market?

A resolver proposes the result after the event and locks a $100 bond. Anyone can challenge within 48 hours by posting a matching bond. Unchallenged proposals become final; disputed ones go to the resolver panel and, after token launch, to staked-$369X voting. Resolution explained.

How long until I can claim?

At least 48 hours after a result is proposed, because that is the challenge window. A disputed market takes longer, since the dispute has to be decided first.

What if a market can’t be resolved?

It is voided. You can reclaim what you paid for the shares you still hold. Trading fees and network gas are not refunded, and shares you already sold are settled: you kept the sale proceeds.

Creating markets

Who can request a market?

Any user. You submit the question, category, end date, resolution source and outcome options. User market listing is planned for mainnet.

Is every requested market approved?

No. 369X reviews each request to check that it is clear, verifiable, lawful and not a duplicate. Approval is required before anything goes live. What makes a good question.

How much does a market creator earn?

An approved creator receives 0.5% of eligible trading volume on their market for as long as the market is active. A market with $100,000 of eligible volume pays its creator $500. That is arithmetic, not a forecast: many markets will trade far less.

Do creators have to put money up?

Creators post a small, refundable $369X bond. It comes back when the market resolves cleanly and can be forfeited for spam or bad-faith markets. The bond amount is announced at launch. Creators do not fund market-making liquidity; the protocol does.

Fees

How much does it cost to trade?

2% of the trade value on every buy and every sell. On a $100 buy that is $2: $0.85 to the protocol, $0.50 to the market’s creator, $0.40 to market depth and $0.25 to liquidity providers. Network gas is separate. Where your 2% goes.

What do staking discounts apply to?

Only the 0.85% protocol share. The top tier halves it, so the total fee falls to 1.575%, not 1%. Creator, depth and LP shares are never discounted.

Is there a fee when I sell?

Yes. A sale is a separate trade and pays the same 2% on its own value. Holding to settlement and claiming does not pay a trading fee, only network gas.

Liquidity and leverage

Can LP Vault depositors lose money?

Yes. The vault is the counterparty to traders and the lender for leverage. When traders win big or a leveraged position fails faster than it can be closed, the vault absorbs the loss. A borrowing cap and a daily-loss trigger restrict new activity but cannot guarantee a limit on losses during sudden price gaps.

Are airdrop points the same as tokens?

No. Points record activity, such as LP deposits or badges, for a future $369X airdrop. They are not tokens, have no price and are not a promise of any specific amount. Point multipliers from longer LP locks multiply points, not returns.

What is the most I can lose with leverage?

By design, your collateral. Each leveraged position is isolated, so a liquidation should not touch your other funds; this is pending testing and audit. A position can be liquidated well before the market resolves, losing all of that collateral even if your side eventually wins.

The $369X token

How is the $369X supply allocated?

369,000,000 tokens, fixed, split across twelve buckets. The largest are Ecosystem & Community Incentives (18%), the ICO / Public Sale (15%) and Treasury / Foundation (15%). 17% is allocated to team/advisers and strategic partners, behind cliffs of 12 and 18 months. Full table.

When do tokens unlock?

On bucket-by-bucket schedules of up to 72 months, most of them monthly after a cliff. At TGE only sale tokens and trading liquidity unlock: at most 26,805,000 tokens (7.26% of supply), and only if the sale sells out and the planned liquidity is deployed. Scheduled availability is not the same as circulating supply.

What is the listing target?

An indicative $0.30 per token, which puts the indicative FDV at $110,700,000. It is a target, not a promised market price: the token can trade below it and below any sale price.

What unlocks at the token launch (TGE)?

Only sale tokens and trading liquidity. Every other bucket unlocks 0% at TGE. The maximum is 26,805,000 tokens, 7.26% of supply. About half of the 15,000,000 liquidity tokens go into a DEX pool, which needs about $2.25M in matching stablecoins at $0.30; the other half is lent to exchange market makers. Liquidity tokens are trading inventory, not a sale.

What is the difference between FDV and market cap?

Fully diluted valuation multiplies a price by the entire 369,000,000-token supply. Market capitalisation multiplies it by tokens actually circulating, which will be far fewer at launch. Neither number is money raised, and a quoted FDV at a target price is not a prediction.

Does the buyback guarantee the token price rises?

No. After token launch, 30% of collected protocol fees buy $369X on the open market; half is burned and half goes to stakers. That is 12.75% of each 2% fee, not 30% of volume. Its size depends on real trading, and scheduled unlocks add supply over time.

Is there a lock-up to stake $369X?

No lock-up to stake. Unstaking has a 7-day cooldown: you ask to withdraw, then wait seven days before the tokens are free. Protocol staking starts at token launch.

How do I take part in the token sale?

This website does not sell tokens. The sale runs in three phases at indicative prices of $0.10, $0.15 and $0.20, through official 369X channels only, and participation may be restricted in some jurisdictions. Prices are subject to final terms and applicable law; the token can trade below any sale price.

Risk, security and access

Has 369X been audited?

Not yet. An independent third-party audit is required before mainnet, and no real funds go into the protocol until it is complete with no open critical issues. When an audit report exists, it will be linked from the security page.

Can everyone use 369X?

No. Prediction markets are restricted or legally unclear in many countries, and access is filtered in restricted jurisdictions. The design uses wallet-based access without account KYC, but that is not a promise that no verification will ever be required. Check the law where you live.

Is this just betting?

The mechanics differ: prices come from traders rather than a bookmaker, and the market maker is software with a capped subsidy. Economically and legally, prediction markets can overlap with betting, and some regulators treat them that way. The comparison guide goes through it.

Does non-custodial mean there is no risk to my funds?

No. It means no company holds your funds, but money you trade still sits in smart contracts, which can have bugs. Administrators still hold limited emergency powers, such as pausing trading, and a wrong outcome can finalise if nobody disputes it.

Is anything on this site financial advice?

No. This site explains how 369X is designed. It is not investment, legal, tax or financial advice, and nothing here is an offer to sell a token. Only use money you can afford to lose.

Where can I read the full details?
