Fees & Payouts

Understand how every lamport moves when you participate in Token-Poly markets.

Fee Breakdown

Fees are deducted at the moment you vote, so your wallet only signs once per action.

Example

  • You stake 5 SOL on YES
  • Platform receives 0.05 SOL (1%)
  • Creator receives 0.10 SOL (2%)
  • YES pool gains 4.85 SOL (97%)

Payout Formula

Winners receive:
Example: If you own 25% of the YES pool and the NO pool holds 30 SOL, your payout is 7.5 SOL (plus your original stake already embedded in the pool share).

Creator Earnings

  • Creator fees accumulate automatically from each vote
  • After resolution, creators click Claim Creator Fees to withdraw the 2% balance
  • Fees are paid in SOL and transfer instantly on-chain

Refunds & Cancellations

  • Only the creator can cancel a market before end_time
  • Cancelled markets refund every participant (minus the small network fee paid to submit the original transaction)
  • Creator fees collected before cancellation remain with the creator as compensation for providing liquidity

Gas Costs

  • Solana devnet charges negligible lamports per transaction
  • Expect mainnet gas to remain low, but the fee summary always shows the total before you approve
