Markets excel when they seem predictable but are polarizing. Drama markets, and markets with well defined end-dates generate the most excitement for traders. You are also encouraged to manipulate markets, insider trade, and leak information to your live viewers that might give them an edge over less attentive traders.
There are 3 main market formats
Multiple choice markets can be setup so that only the creator can submit answers, or so any user can submit their own answers, and then the market creator can resolve them.
The play money, Mana, can be used to allocate charitable donations via our charity program at a rate of M100 = $1usd. For each user that signs up on your referral link, you will get M250 which you can use to make a donation if you don’t intend to use it on our site.
Manifold is currently used by Lex Fridman, Rational Animations, CGP Grey, r/OnePiece users, the Destiny.gg community, and many more.
Once you are set up on the site, you can tag your markets with your own personal topic, so that they can be easily found and filtered. This makes it easier for fans to create markets, as markets tagged within that topic will have increased discoverability for people who show interest in your markets, or follow your topic. Users who sign up from your referral link will automatically follow you, and be more likely to be shown your markets.
