Figures are indicative and dated. Confirm the current terms on the platform before acting.
Prediction markets use the same fee structure as Drift perpetual markets, with a taker fee of about 0.035 percent of notional at the entry tier and a small maker rebate, charged in USDC and falling with volume. As of January 2026.
Yes. Each onchain action carries a small Solana network fee, usually a fraction of a cent, paid in SOL on top of the trading fee.
Fees fall as your thirty day volume rises, and staking the protocol token can add a further discount on taker fees and a larger maker rebate on perpetual fees. As of January 2026.
You can post several supported tokens as collateral, earn lending interest while in a position, and avoid borrow interest until a loss settles. Using non USDC collateral adds price risk, so it is a trade off, not a free saving.
It is an onchain venue without United States registration, so access from the United States is contested and carries added risk. We do not link to it. Check your own position before acting. As of January 2026.
