Markets
How are Markets Created?#
Market creation#
Markets are created by the markets team with input from users and the community.
Can I create my own market?#
While users cannot directly create their own markets, they are encouraged to suggest ideas for new markets. In choosing which markets to list, Polymarket considers the following factors:
Is there enough demand for trading in the market to produce an accurate probability? Polymarket targets $X in trading volume as a minimum.
Is there social good or news value in understanding the probability generated by the market?
Can the market be resolved clearly?
Is there a credible information source for market resolution?
For example, a country’s elections commission can be specified as the official resolution source for an election.
Can the market be resolved in a definitive time frame?
Submit your market proposal#
To give your proposal the best chance of being listed, include as much information as possible, such as:
- What is the market title?
- What is the resolution source?
- Evidence of demand for trading that market
The best ways to propose a new market are:
- On Discord in the #market-suggestion channel
- On Twitter / X by tagging @polymarket
