Market Creation

The process begins with a user (or developer) creating a new prediction market. The creator formulates a yes/no question about a specific token or event, sets an expiration time, and attaches the relevant token address. Attaching the token’s address allows Polypump’s systems to monitor that token’s data for the condition. Upon creation, the creator stakes an initial amount of currency (which can be SOL or $POLYPUMP) into the market to open it. This initial stake can serve as the first bet (for example, the creator might stake on “Yes” if they believe the event will happen) and also provides initial liquidity so that other users can start betting against it. The market is now live and visible to the community.
