what are community labs?
labs are user-created prediction markets. unlike official baozi markets which are curated and resolved by admins, lab markets are created and resolved by community members like you. this enables:
- • markets on niche topics officials wouldn't cover
- • faster market creation without waiting for admin approval
- • opportunity to build reputation as a trusted creator
- • earn fees from the markets you create
how labs work
create your market
write a clear yes/no question. set the closing time. pay 0.02 SOL creation fee. upload an optional image.
users bet
your market goes live immediately. users can bet YES or NO up to 10 SOL total pool size.
resolve the outcome
after the event ends, you declare the outcome (YES, NO, or Invalid). winners can then claim their winnings.
build reputation
users who bet in your market can vote on your reliability. good resolutions build trust.
safety limits
labs have limits to protect users while allowing experimentation:

creator reputation system
your reputation as a creator matters. users can upvote or downvote your resolution accuracy:

- • resolve markets honestly
- • create clear, unambiguous questions

bad creators:
- • resolve incorrectly
