For Creators

Bubblegum turns market creation into a revenue stream. Every trade on your market sends money to your wallet. The more popular your market, the more you earn. No upfront capital required.

​
What Creators Earn

​
1. Trade Fees (Every Single Trade)

Every buy and sell on your market has a 1% fee. Half of that — 0.5% of every trade — goes directly to your wallet at trade time. No claiming, no waiting. 
Trader buys 10 SOL of YES on your market
  → 0.05 SOL goes to you instantly
  → 0.05 SOL goes to the protocol
  → 9.9 SOL enters the bonding curve
This adds up. A market with 1,000 SOL in volume generates 5 SOL for the creator in fees alone.

​
2. Settlement Reward

When your market resolves and winners redeem their positions, a portion of the remaining token reserve goes to you. This is your cut of the leftover value in the prediction market. Additionally, a portion of the remaining reserve is burned, creating deflationary pressure on the token supply.

​
3. Token Appreciation

As a creator, you can also hold your market’s token. If the market attracts attention and the token price rises, you benefit like any other holder. You’re not required to hold — but you have the option.

​
Revenue Examples

Trade fees:  0.5 SOL (0.5% of 100)
Settlement:  Variable (depends on remaining reserve)

Not life-changing, but earned with zero upfront cost.

Trade fees:  25 SOL (0.5% of 5,000)
Settlement:  Variable

A solid market around a popular topic can easily hit this.

Trade fees:  250 SOL (0.5% of 50,000)
Settlement:  Variable

Markets tied to major events (elections, launches, macro moves)
can attract massive volume.

​
The Creator Playbook

The best Bubblegum creators treat it like a content strategy. Your market is a product — and the question is the hook.

​
What Makes a Market Go Viral

  1. Timeliness — Questions about things happening right now get the most attention. An upcoming Fed meeting, a product launch rumor, a trending crypto narrative.
  2. Controversy — If people disagree, they trade against each other. Balanced markets (close to 50/50) generate the most volume because both sides are active.
  3. Community — Markets that tap into existing communities (crypto twitter, Discord groups, Telegram channels) get instant distribution.
  4. Shareability — A great ticker and a punchy question make your market easy to share. “ETH10K—WillETHhitETH10K — Will ETH hit 10,000 by EOY?” is instantly understandable and shareable.

​
Creator Workflow

2. Create a market with a catchy ticker
3. Share it with your audience
4. Earn fees as people trade
5. Market settles, you collect your share
6. Repeat

​
Who Should Create Markets

  • Crypto analysts — monetize your predictions by creating markets around your calls
  • Community leaders — give your community a way to put their money where their mouth is
  • News followers — if you’re first to a story, you’re first to the market
  • Anyone with an opinion — Bubblegum is permissionless, you just need a question

​
What Creators Don’t Need

  • Capital — zero deposit required to create a market
  • Technical knowledge — no smart contracts to deploy, no parameters to tune
  • Market making — the bonding curve handles all liquidity automatically
  • Ongoing maintenance — once created, the market runs itself

Creator FAQ

Yes. Creators can buy YES or NO on their own markets. Your fees are separate from your trading positions.
Nothing happens. There’s no cost to creating a market. If it doesn’t attract traders, you don’t lose anything — there’s no capital at risk.
Yes. Create as many as you want. Many successful creators run a portfolio of markets across different topics.
Markets are settled after the deadline by an authorized settler. The settlement declares whether YES or NO won based on the real-world outcome.
If the token graduated before settlement, it continues trading on its AMM pool. The prediction market resolves, but the token lives on as an independent tradeable asset.
