The one-line summary
Deposit USDT into the platform's liquidity pool. Earn 12 % of every market round's loser pool as a distributed share — without taking a directional bet on any specific market. Choose a lock tier for a higher multiplier: Flexible 1×, 30-Day 1.5×, 90-Day 2.2×.
This is the same LP earn model surfaced on the How It Works page. This guide covers what to think about before you deposit.
How the earn model works
Every round on PredictAsiaX produces a loser pool — the capital deposited by traders who held the losing side of that round. When the round settles, that capital flows out. A defined portion of it flows to specific destinations:
- 12 % → LP holders. Distributed proportionally by pool share, adjusted by each LP's lock tier multiplier.
- 5 % → segregated insurance fund. This is the fund that protects LP principal and keeps payouts flowing during extreme outcomes.
Because the source is the loser pool (not one specific market's directional outcome), your LP position earns from the platform's aggregate flow. Diversification is built in: you do not need to pick markets, and you do not need to pick sides.
The three lock tiers
| Tier | Lock period | Multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| Flexible | No lock-up | 1× |
| 30-Day | 30 days | 1.5× |
| 90-Day | 90 days | 2.2× |
The multiplier is applied to your share of the distributed loser-pool cut every round. On the same USDT deposited, a 90-day lock earns 2.2× what the same capital would earn Flexible.
Principal protection
A dedicated segregated insurance fund, financed by 5 % of every settled loser pool, sits underneath the LP layer. Its job is to absorb extreme outcomes — the kind that would otherwise create a liquidity gap between a market resolving and winners actually being paid. Because the fund is continuously financed by real settled activity, it grows in tandem with platform volume, and it is separate from the operational USDT balance the platform runs on.
Practically, that means LP earnings are structurally decoupled from any single market's outcome, and payouts do not queue behind cash-flow bumps.
Choosing your tier
The tradeoff is straightforward. Yield uplift comes from committing to a lock; optionality comes from staying Flexible. A worked comparison, holding pool share constant:
- Flexible. Withdraw at any time. Earn 1× your pool share of the distributed cut every round.
- 30-Day. Lock for 30 days. Earn 1.5× your pool share every round. Net uplift over Flexible: 50 %.
- 90-Day. Lock for 90 days. Earn 2.2× your pool share every round. Net uplift over Flexible: 120 %.
The 90-Day tier compounds meaningfully in high-flow periods — because every round contributes and the multiplier applies to every round's share — but it removes the option to redeploy the capital elsewhere. If you have a sharp view on a specific market you want to trade instead, keep the flexibility.
How LP fits with the rest of the platform
- Not a Creator position. Creators are the market maker for their own markets and take Creator P&L. LPs are on the platform side and earn from aggregate loser pools across all markets. Different roles, different economics — see the Creator system guide.
- Not a directional trade. LP is not a bet on any specific market's outcome. Directional views are expressed by trading YES / NO on markets you have conviction on.
- Not a Builder Program grant. The PAX grant program is for third-party developers routing external flow through the API. LP is for USDT capital committed to the platform's own pool — see the builder program guide.
- Same settlement path. Every settlement — including the settlements that generate the loser pools you earn from — publishes a proof hash in the Trade Explorer. See the verifiable settlement guide.
