Incentive Programs

Polymarket operates a variety of incentive programs for all traders.

​

Volume Incentive Program

This program rewards traders based on their share of trading volume on eligible contracts. The more you trade, the more you earn. Reward amounts for each contract are published here. Example: A contract has a $5,000 reward pool. You trade 25,000 contracts and total eligible volume is 500,000 contracts. Your share is 5%, so you earn $250.

​

Liquidity Incentive Program

This program rewards traders for placing resting orders. The closer your orders are to the best price and the larger they are, the more you earn. Every second, the Exchange scores each trader’s resting orders based on price and size, and rewards are split proportionally. Parameters for each market are published here.

​

Rewards are paid out weekly, and individual traders can earn up to $50,000 per week (10% of the total pool). The pool is allocated across different categories of contract:
