Fees

The schedule

Prediction markets

A flat 2% fee on winning payouts, deducted automatically when you claim. Win, and the fee comes off your gross payout (shares × $1). Lose, and you pay nothing. Trading itself is fee-free: placing orders, matching, and selling back into the book before kickoff all cost 0%, and if a market is voided your deposit is refunded in full with no fee.

Half of every prediction-market fee goes into the reward pool that funds Performance Dividends; the other half goes to the treasury. There is no maker rebate and no taker premium; the order book is a price-time priority CLOB and everyone pays the same.

Player shares

Player shares charge an asymmetric fee: 1% on buys, 2% on sells. The asymmetry is deliberate. It makes accumulating shares cheaper than churning them, which compounds the holding-time tier mechanic.

All fees on player shares feed back into the Performance Dividend pool. Active traders subsidise long-term holders.

Be the Signal

Be the Signal charges a fixed entry fee per parlay on mainnet. On the current testnet, entry-fee collection is switched off and entering is free.

Inside the game, hedging has a cost: on each leg you split your bankroll across YES and NO, and at settlement 7% of the losing-side allocation is deducted from the amount that carries forward. Going all-in on one side costs nothing; the more you hedge, the more the tax bites. The projected tax is shown before you confirm an allocation, and it applies to the in-game bankroll, not your wallet.

Gas

Signal runs on Base, so gas is cheap, typically a fraction of a cent per action. You only pay gas when something settles on-chain: signing limit orders is free.

No other fees

There are no deposit fees, no withdrawal fees, no inactivity fees, and no spread on top of the order book mid. What you see is what you pay.
