How to Earn Midas Points

Every trade you make on MidasPredict earns you Midas Points (MP). At the end of each month, a pool of real fees is divided among all point holders — proportional to how many points they earned. Trade more, earn more.

What Are Midas Points?

Midas Points are a non-transferable, off-chain reward-accounting unit inside MidasPredict. They track your contribution to platform activity and determine your share of the monthly Points Reward Pool.

They're not a token. You can't send them, sell them, or use them outside of MidasPredict. Their sole function is to determine your proportional share of the monthly distribution.

How You Earn Points

Trading (The Main Engine)

For every $1 of trading volume, you earn 1 Midas Point. No cap, no limit.

You Trade	Midas Points Earned
$100	100 MP
$1,000	1,000 MP
$10,000	10,000 MP

This is the core engine. For active users, trading should represent 80%+ of total MP earned.

💡 Testnet volume counts toward the Midas Catalyst Trade Challenge and toward Founder Program eligibility, but does not earn MP directly. Only mainnet activity produces MP — and the Founder Program gives qualifying testnet users a head-start through a multiplier on their early mainnet trading.

Boosted Markets (2x)

Certain Daily Markets and Featured Markets designated by the protocol earn 2x Midas Points per dollar of volume.

• Normal market: $100 in trade volume → 100 MP

• Boosted market: $100 in trade volume → 200 MP

Market Creation Rewards

When you create a market and seed it with initial liquidity, you earn MP equal to the seed liquidity amount.

Seed Liquidity	MP Earned
$500 (minimum)	500 MP
$2,000	2,000 MP
$100,000+	100,000 MP

Resolution Rewards

Resolution rewards apply to both automated oracle outcomes and user-submitted disputes during the dispute window.

See Market Lifecycle & Disputes for how disputes work.

Outcome	MP	Purpose
Correct resolution	+100 MP	Incentivizes accurate resolution (including successful disputes)
Incorrect resolution	-500 MP	Strong deterrent against wrong or malicious resolution (including rejected disputes)

Daily Login Streak

Action	Points
Daily login	+1 MP per day
7-day streak	+10 MP bonus
14-day streak	+25 MP bonus
30-day streak	+50 MP bonus

Monthly Epochs: How the Payout Works

MidasPredict operates on monthly epochs. During the month, every trade earns points and the Points Reward Pool (funded by 0.125% of all trading volume) grows.

At Month End

1. Snapshot — Total MP and Points Reward Pool are frozen.

2. Calculate — Your share = your MP ÷ total MP.

3. Distribute — Your reward = your share × Points Reward Pool.

4. Credit — Funds added to your balance automatically.

5. Reset — New epoch. MP returns to zero. Lifetime stats tracked separately.

Worked Example

	Amount
Total platform volume	$10,000,000
Points Reward Pool (0.125% of volume)	$12,500
Total MP earned by all users	10,000,000 MP
Your MP this month	200,000 MP

Your share: 200,000 ÷ 10,000,000 = 2%

Your reward: 2% × $12,500 = $250

FAQ

Do my points carry over between months?

No. Points reset at the start of each epoch. Lifetime totals tracked separately for badges.

Is there a cap on points?

No cap. The more you trade, the more you earn.

Can I game the system by wash trading?

Each round-trip costs real fees (1% + creator fee) with no guarantee of earning them back. The cost of faking volume exceeds the reward.
