Universal Participation Dividend

Ankh Market is a non-profit protocol. We don't keep the fees — we give them back to you.

How It Works

All trading fees collected by the protocol (minus creator fees) are pooled and redistributed to active traders through the Universal Participation Dividend (UPD) program.

Who's Eligible

Every user who trades on the platform receives UPD. The more you participate — trading, creating markets, governance — the larger your share of the dividend.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers.

How do prediction markets work?

Prediction markets let you trade shares on the outcome of future events. If you think something will happen, you buy YES shares. If you think it won't, you buy NO shares. Shares of the correct outcome pay out $1 when the market resolves.

What are startup markets?

Startup markets are community-created markets that need to reach a graduation threshold (trading volume and activity) before becoming mainstream markets. This ensures quality and prevents spam.

How do I earn as a market creator?

When you create a market that graduates to mainstream, you earn 1% of all trading fees on that market forever. Popular markets can generate significant passive income.

How are markets resolved?

Markets are resolved based on real-world outcomes. Our resolution sources are specified in each market's description. We use trusted news sources and official data.

What fees are there?

We charge a small trading fee on each transaction. Market creators earn 1% of fees. The remaining fees go into the Universal Participation Dividend pool.

What is the Universal Participation Dividend (UPD)?

Ankh Market is a non-profit protocol. Instead of keeping trading fees as profit, we redistribute them to all active traders through UPD. The more you trade and participate, the larger your share. It's like a rebate for being part of the community.
