To start trading on PolySouq you fund your account with USDC via the Polygon network, 10 dollar minimum. This is real money used to buy Yes/No contracts on prediction markets, and it carries genuine financial risk.
USDC is a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, so your balance value doesn't swing with other crypto price volatility. The Polygon network offers very low transfer fees and fast confirmation compared to other networks.
Treat your balance like real capital: spread it across multiple markets instead of concentrating on one trade, and pick markets you genuinely understand (see Risk and Capital Management). Only deposit what you can afford to lose.
You can withdraw your balance at any time to the same wallet linked to your account via the Polygon network. There is no minimum withdrawal once any market you're in has settled.
No. Prediction markets on PolySouq run on a parimutuel pool model with no leverage — you stake a set amount, and everyone who was right splits the pot after a 10% commission taken from the losing pot alone. The maximum possible loss is only the amount you staked.
