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.

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. Example: if the bid is 40¢ and the ask is 60¢, the midpoint is 50¢.

• Max Spread: The qualifying price range around the midpoint. 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.

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.

You can find eligible markets in the Rewards page. You can also check the reward formula for more details.

Holding Rewards

Polymarket provides 4% APY (annual percentage yield) on eligible market positions. Interest is calculated and paid out daily. Rates are subject to change. For full details, see Holding Rewards.

Examples: Presidential Election Winner 2028, Which party wins 2028 US Presidential Election?, Zelenskyy out as Ukraine president before 2027?

You can find all active markets with holding rewards in the Earn 4% tab.
