Trading & Market Mechanics

How are prediction prices set?

Prediction-market prices can move as users buy and sell positions. A higher price generally reflects a higher market-implied probability, but it is not a guarantee that the outcome will occur.


Why does the price move?

Prices can change because of:

  • New trading activity
  • Available liquidity
  • Market-maker or protocol mechanics
  • New information about the underlying event

What is slippage?

If the market price changes while your transaction is being prepared or executed, the final amount may differ from the price you first saw. Review the confirmation screen before submitting a transaction.


Are there fees?

The feature may include protocol, trading, bridge, swap or blockchain network fees. The live interface and the Prediction Markets Supplemental Terms are the source of truth for the fees and network that apply.


Can I always buy or sell?

No. A market can be paused, closed, resolved or unavailable because of liquidity, provider, compliance or technical conditions. You cannot trade a market once trading has closed.

Prediction-market activity remains subject to the Mint.io Terms & Conditions and any provider-specific terms.
