Create Market
Creating a market on Probity allows you to launch your own prediction event that others can trade on. This section covers the full flow: from defining the event to funding initial liquidity.
Prerequisites
Before creating a market, you’ll need:
A Solana wallet (e.g., Phantom or Backpack)
Some SOL for gas fees
Access to the Probity dApp: https://probity.trade/create
Market Creation Flow
Step 1: Connect Wallet
Connect your Solana wallet to the dApp and switch to the “Create Market” tab.
✅ Tip: Make sure you have enough SOL for the creation fee and initial liquidity.
Define Market Parameters
Fill out the form with the following details:
Market Title
The event question users will trade on.
“Will Bitcoin surpass $100,000 before 2026?”

Outcomes

YES / NO
End Date
When trading closes.
2025-12-31
Resolution Source
Define the oracle or data source for outcome verification.
CoinGecko API / Chainlink Feed
Initial Liquidity
Amount of USDC to seed the market pool.
1 SOL
Add Initial Liquidity
Deposit Solana (SOL) to bootstrap trading. This helps set the initial price balance between outcomes.
For example:
If you believe the outcome is 60% likely, you can allocate 6 SOL to “YES” and 4 SOL to “NO”. This sets the starting market price near 0.60 for YES shares.
💡 The more liquidity you provide, the more stable the prices and lower slippage for early traders.
