# Community & custom markets

Small by share, but **the moat**. Community markets are markets **Market Owners** (any user who's earned that role) propose, the platform reviews for clarity, and other users predict on.

## What a community market can be

Anything that:

1. Has a **clear, public, time-bounded resolution**.
2. Doesn't violate any of our content rules (see below).
3. The Market Owner is willing to **manually resolve** when the event concludes.

Examples that fit:

* Local sports league outcomes
* Specific esports tournament outcomes
* "Will \[public figure] make announcement X by date Y?"
* Niche industry milestones with a public source

Examples that don't fit:

* Anything about personal relationships, deaths, or private individuals
* Markets where the resolution is subjective ("will the new Marvel movie be good?")
* Markets that require non-public information to resolve
* Markets tied to outcomes that primarily affect a specific person's wellbeing
* Markets that look like wagers on illegal activity

## Eight starter templates

The Mini App ships with **8 community-market templates** to make creation easy:

1. Yes/No on a public event by date
2. Multi-outcome on a competition winner
3. Bucketed numeric range
4. First-to-occur (which of these things happens first)
5. Over/under on a public counter
6. Date-of-event prediction
7. Threshold cross (will X reach Y by Z)
8. Outcome-of-public-announcement

You can also create from scratch if none fit.

## AI clarity review

Every proposed community market goes through an **AI clarity review** before going live. Claude inspects the question, the proposed outcomes, and the resolution rule, and flags markets that are ambiguous, leak information, or violate our content rules.

The review usually takes seconds. If it fails, you'll see the specific issue and can edit and resubmit.

## Defaults and visibility

* Community markets start out visible in the **Community feed**.
* The platform can promote a popular one to the **main public feed** once it reaches a liquidity threshold.
* Trade fees on Community markets are **1.5× the rate** of sports/crypto markets — the higher rate rewards the work of creating and settling the market. Half of every trade fee goes to the Market Owner; the rest funds the maker-rebate, treasury, and insurance pools.

See [Become a Market Owner](/for-market-owners/market-owners.md) for the full Market Owner flow.

## In the app

Community markets show up in **violet**.

## Content rules — hard

The following are platform-level rejection criteria. They cannot be appealed.

1. **No "betting / wager / gamble / long / short / leverage" language** in the question text. Markets framed as prediction questions only.
2. **No "Home / Away"** labels in sports markets. Use team names.
3. **Always "FIFA World Cup 2026"** if referencing the tournament — never "World Cup" alone.
4. **No markets on minors, deaths, illness, or private individuals.**
5. **No markets where the platform itself is the deciding entity** — outcomes must be verifiable from a public source.
6. **No markets in sanctioned jurisdictions** (Iran, Syria, North Korea, Cuba).
