# Rewards

Polymarket offers two types of trading rewards. 

### Liquidity Rewards

**Some markets offer rewards** to traders who **post limit orders** that meet the **spread** and **size criteria**.

*Example*: In *Will JD Vance be the Presidential Election Winner 2028?*, placing a limit order of 200 shares within ±3¢ of the midpoint qualifies for rewards.

There are four key parts to rewards:

* **Rewards:** Total amount Polymarket distributes over 24 hours to eligible limit orders.
* **Midpoint:** The average of the highest bid and lowest ask. \
  \&#xNAN;*Example*: If the bid is 40¢ and the ask is 60¢, the midpoint is 50¢.
* **Max Spread:** The qualifying price range around the midpoint. \
  \&#xNAN;*Example*: If the midpoint is 50¢ and the max spread is ±5¢, orders between 45¢ and 55¢ qualify.
* **Minimum Shares:** The smallest order size that qualifies; orders below this amount do not earn rewards.
