Ever had a take on something or a trending topic on the TL and wished there was a market for it?
You don’t have to wait for someone else to list it.
XO lets you turn your own question into a market. It’s called a conviction, and as the creator you earn 20% of the trading fees that market generates.
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀:
1. Open XO and go to Convictions. That’s where user-created markets sit.
2. Pick a question people can reasonably disagree on. Token before a date, team to win, partnership by a deadline. Specific enough to resolve. Interesting enough that someone else might trade it.
3. Write the question clean. Traders should know what they’re pricing without a long explanation. Avoid anything that can be read two ways.
4. Set the rules. What counts as YES, what counts as NO, the deadline, and the source of truth. For a token launch, decide whether TGE counts or you need public trading. MODRA helps with creation and resolution, but you still need to read the criteria yourself. Vague rules become arguments later.
5. Review and publish. Convictions start from $10. Check the wording, rules, and deadline before you confirm.
6. Share it with people who already care about the topic. Give them a reason to look at the question, not just a link.

This is your earn from the trading fees your market generates. Not 20% of volume, not 20% of deposits, not other people’s profits. More activity can mean more fees. Nothing is guaranteed.

CP stands for Conviction Points. They're XO's platform points, separate from USDC.
Users can earn CP through eligible platform activity, including qualifying trading and referral activity, as well as reward programs and campaigns. The exact amount depends on the applicable reward rules.
CP can be used in joining parlays in the XO platform without spending any money
The important part isn't just that anyone can list a market. It's that a question you've already been arguing about can now have a price.
Find one people care about. Make the rules clear. Publish it. Then see if anyone else trades it.
Your take could be the next conviction on XO.
