Earning on PolyPort
Understand how traders, LP seeders, and partners share fees across the PolyPort ecosystem.
PolyPort keeps incentives transparent so every contributor knows where yield comes from and when it is paid out. Use this page to decide which role fits your goals—or combine them for a larger share of upside.
Revenue streams at a glance
| Role | What you do | How you earn |
|---|---|---|
| Trader | Buy Yes/No shares as outcomes evolve. | After the market settles, click Claim winnings in the app (calls the redeem_winner instruction) to burn your winning shares and receive the lamports they’re worth. Optional rebates show up as extra credit when the automation runs. |
| LP seeder | Provide activation capital or opt into vault mirroring. | The contract logs your portion of the 0.5% LP fee on every trade. Once the market settles (or when ops triggers a payout), use Claim fees (calls claim_fees) to withdraw the lamports owed to you. Meteora partner earnings are added to the same flow when available. |
| Admin / creator | Publish markets, moderate communities, and manage campaigns. | Receive the 1.5% admin fee, optional partner kickbacks, and reputational boosts for future launches. |
Fee mechanics (plain language)
- Trading fee (2%) – Split into 1.5% for admins/creators and 0.5% for LP seeders by default. You can tweak this when drafting the market.
- Partner fee share – When liquidity is mirrored into Meteora, PolyPort earns partner fees. These can be redistributed as LP boosts or trader rebates.
- Rebates & campaigns – For growth moments, PolyPort can divert a slice of the admin fee to reward high-volume traders or market makers. Rebates appear transparently on the proposal page.
No fees are collected until the market activates. If the threshold is never reached, activation deposits are returned in full minus network fees.
How payouts are delivered
- During trading – Fees accrue in the vault and display in real time on the dashboard.
- At settlement – The winning side of the market can now use the Claim winnings button, which invokes the
redeem_winnerinstruction to burn their shares and pay out lamports. - Admin/LP fees – The ledger keeps track of fee shares until you hit Claim fees (or ops runs the automation). This calls
claim_fees, transfers your lamports from the vault, and resets the share counters. - Meteora partner fees – PolyPort’s automation scripts claim partner earnings and, when governance approves, push them through the same
claim_feespath so LPs and rebate programs receive the boost.
Choosing the right posture
- Proposal creators – Keep telling the story and rallying supporters until the voting target is met. Once your proposal clears that threshold, the system promotes it into a live market and the fee engine starts producing rewards.
- Liquidity allies – Opt in to vault mirroring if you’re comfortable with Meteora. You can disable mirroring per market from your settings if you want to keep funds in the internal vault. Either way, you earn the base 0.5% trading fee and any partner boosts PolyPort announces.
- Growth partners – See Post-activation capital & Meteora for co-marketing ideas, partner fee allocation, and how to request larger mirroring limits.
Transparency you can trust
- Fee splits and outstanding claims are published in the PolyPort dashboard.
- Ops reports (linked from each section) summarize pending claims, Meteora actions, and any paused markets.
- You will never need to sign an opaque transaction—everything routes through audited on-chain programs.
