Market Lifecycle

Follow a prediction from creation through payouts to see how every step works on Token-Poly.

​

1. Create

• Choose the pump.fun token mint, metric (market cap or 24h volume), comparator (≥ or ≤), target value, and end time
• Provide initial liquidity split evenly between YES and NO so traders see fair odds from the first vote
• Initial liquidity signals confidence, narrows spreads, and unlocks the 2% creator fee once others participate

​

2. Vote

• Wallets can back either YES (side 0) or NO (side 1) with at least 0.01 SOL
• A single wallet can vote only once per market; once your transaction lands, the stake is locked until resolution or cancellation
• Each vote is split instantly:
  • 1% platform fee
  • 2% creator fee
  • 97% added to the chosen pool

​

3. Countdown

• Markets stay Active until the scheduled end_time
• Pool totals update in real time so you can monitor sentiment
• Cancellations are disabled after launch, so the market always resolves once the timer expires

​

4. Resolve

• After end_time, the backend fetches live token data from Dexscreener
• Function type 0 checks market cap, function type 1 checks 24h volume (both in USD)
• The stored comparator and target decide whether YES or NO wins, and the outcome is written on-chain

​

5. Claim

• Winning wallets can claim once the market status is Resolved
• Payout formula: (userStake / winningPool) × losingPool
• Creators can claim their accumulated 2% fee after resolution—one claim per market
