When you back a proposal on the Launchpad before it goes live, you’re not just helping a debate come to life — you’re setting yourself up to earn from it. Once the proposal becomes a live market, a slice of every trade flows back to its early backers. Spot a great debate early, and you share in the reward.

​
How it works

Back it early

Back a proposal before it goes live. That locks in your share of the trading fees the market earns later — your reward for backing it before anyone else.

Earn from every trade

Once the market is live, a slice of each trade’s fee goes to its backers. Your cut is split by how much of the proposal you backed — back more, earn more.

More trading, more rewards

Rewards scale with how busy the market is. The more people trade it, the more its backers earn over time.
The figure shown in the app is an estimate, not a guarantee. What you actually earn depends on how much the live market really trades once it’s up and running.

​
A worked example

Priya is browsing the Launchpad and spots a proposal for a heated F1 debate — which driver takes the championship — well before anyone else has piled in. She backs it, putting a meaningful chunk behind it. The proposal gathers enough backing and goes live. From then on, every time someone buys or sells in that market, a small piece of the fee is shared out among the early backers. Because Priya backed a large share of the proposal — and the market turns out to be a busy one — her slice keeps building as the trading rolls in.

Want more detail?

By how much of the proposal you backed. If you put a larger share behind it than other backers, you earn a correspondingly larger share of the trading fees once it’s live.
The figure shown is a projection based on expected activity. Real rewards depend on how much the market actually trades after it goes live — a quiet market earns its backers less, a busy one earns more.
Your share comes from the live market’s ongoing trading, so it builds over the life of the market rather than arriving all at once.
