Kash is a prediction marketplace at [app.kash.bot](https://app.kash.bot). You buy shares in the outcome of a real-world event — a match result, a price target, an election — and if you're right, you claim your share of the market's pool when it resolves.

Everything settles in **USDC on Base** (an Ethereum Layer-2), from a smart account that you control. Kash sponsors gas, so trading feels like a normal app.

## The basics

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Multi-outcome markets">
    Kash markets aren't limited to Yes/No. A market can have **2 to 8 outcomes** — "Who wins the World Cup final?" can list every plausible answer, each with its own live price. Prices reflect the market's implied probability for each outcome.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Gasless, self-custodial trading">
    When you sign in, Kash creates an embedded wallet and an **ERC-4337 smart account** for you. Your funds sit in your own account — Kash never takes custody — and the protocol sponsors gas, so you never need ETH or a browser extension.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Instant liquidity">
    Every market trades against an automated market maker (AMM), seeded at creation. You can buy or sell at any time while the market is open — no order book, no waiting for a counterparty.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Resolution you can verify — with a contract-enforced exit">
    Markets are resolved by Kash's oracle (a multisig). If a market ever can't be resolved, it can be cancelled and every position is refunded at its last market price — a recovery path enforced by the contract itself. See [Market Mechanics](/getting-started/features/market-mechanics) for details.

## How markets get created

Markets are proposed from the **Create** form in the webapp: write the question, define the outcomes, and set the resolve time. The market goes through a short review, and the creation fee is charged once it's approved and live. Market creation is rolling out gradually — it's currently available to approved accounts, with access expanding so that anyone will be able to submit. Organizations and partners can also create markets for their communities — see [Creating Opportunities](/getting-started/guides/creating-opportunities).

## Fees

| Action          | Fee                          |
| --------------- | ---------------------------- |
| Buy an outcome  | 1% protocol fee              |
| Sell an outcome | 1% protocol fee + 1% AMM fee |
| Claim winnings  | No fee                       |
| Create a market | One-time creation fee        |

Fees are current as of publication — the app always shows live fees before you confirm.

## Where you can use it

The webapp at app.kash.bot is the product: markets, [portfolio](/getting-started/guides/winning), [threads](/getting-started/features/threads), [parlays](/getting-started/features/parlays), leaderboards, the [World Cup hub](/getting-started/features/world-cup), and the upcoming [Earn vault](/getting-started/features/earn). If you opt in, you can also trade from tweets via **Kash's trading account** (the current handle is linked from [@kash\_bot](https://x.com/kash_bot)), and partners can embed Kash markets on their own sites.
