Place a Stake
This guide shows how to place a stake on a market.
Prerequisites
- A connected wallet on the Base network.
- Sufficient USDC for the market. See our Getting Started guide for how to acquire it.
How to Place a Stake
- Navigate to an open market (Match or Competition).
- Select one or more outcomes you wish to back.
- Enter the amount you wish to stake in the input field.
- Review the on-screen indicators, keeping in mind they are informational estimates.
- Click the "Stake" button and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
Important Notes
- For details on fees and when you can withdraw your funds, see the Claims & Settlement guide.
- In No-Loss markets, staking earlier accrues more time-weighted pool shares.
- The final multiplier is determined when the pool closes, not when you stake.
- All stakes are locked until the market is resolved. For details on how this works, see the Market Rules & Resolution guide.
- Stakes are final and cannot be sold or transferred once placed.
