# Is Polymarket The House?
|
||||
|
||||
> No, Polymarket is not the house. All trades happen peer-to-peer (p2p).
|
||||
|
||||
## Polymarket is different in three ways:
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Traders interact directly with each other, not with Polymarket.
|
||||
|
||||
Polymarket is a marketplace comprised of traders on both sides of any given market. This means you're always trading with other users, not against a centralized entity or "house." Prices on Polymarket are determined by supply and demand. As traders buy and sell shares in outcomes, prices fluctuate to reflect the collective sentiment and knowledge of market participants.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Polymarket does not charge trading fees.
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike bookmakers or wagering operations, Polymarket does not charge deposit/withdrawal fees, or any type of trading fees. This means that Polymarket does not stand to benefit from the outcome of any market or usage of any trader.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Transact at any time.
|
||||
|
||||
Polymarket enables you to sell your position at any time before the market resolves, provided there is a willing buyer of your shares. This offers flexibility and allows you to manage your risk and lock in profits or cut losses as you see fit.
|
||||
|
||||
In essence, Polymarket empowers you to trade based on your own knowledge and research, without going up against a "house" with potentially unfair advantages.

# Polymarket vs. Polling
|
||||
|
||||
> How is Polymarket better than traditional / legacy polling?
|
||||
|
||||
While legacy polls capture a snapshot of opinion at a specific moment, they are often outdated by the time they're published—sometimes lagging by several days. In contrast, Polymarket reflects real-time sentiment as events unfold, offering continuous updates and a more dynamic understanding of public opinion.
|
||||
|
||||
Studies show that prediction markets like Polymarket tend to outperform traditional pollsters because participants are financially incentivized to be correct. This creates more thoughtful, data-driven predictions. Research by James Surowiecki, author of The Wisdom of Crowds, has highlighted how markets like these can be more accurate than polls due to the "collective intelligence" of diverse participants. Additionally, the Iowa Electronic Markets, an academic research project at the University of Iowa, has consistently demonstrated the superior accuracy of prediction markets like Polymarket over traditional polling in predicting political outcomes.
|
||||
|
||||
Polymarket provides a constantly updating picture of public sentiment, offering a degree of accuracy and timeliness that traditional pollsters, who typically report data that is days old, simply cannot match.

# Can I Sell Early?
|
||||
|
||||
**Yes, you can sell or close your position early.**
|
||||
|
||||
You may sell shares at any point before the market is resolved by either placing a market order to sell shares at the prevailing bid price in the orderbook, or by placing a limit order for how many shares you wish to sell and at what price.
|
||||
|
||||
The limit order will only be executed if/when there is a willing buyer for your shares at the price you set.

# Why Crypto?
|
||||
|
||||
> Why Polymarket uses crypto and blockchain technology to create the world’s largest Prediction market.
|
||||
|
||||
Polymarket operates on Polygon, a proof-of-stake layer two blockchain built on [Ethereum](https://ethereum.org). All transactions are denominated in USDC, a US-dollar pegged stablecoin.
|
||||
|
||||
This architecture offers several advantages over traditional prediction markets:
|
||||
|
||||
## Why USDC?
|
||||
|
||||
### Stable Value
|
||||
|
||||
Polymarket denominates trades in USDC, which is pegged 1:1 to the US Dollar. This shields you from the volatility associated with other cryptocurrencies and offers a stable medium for trading.
|
||||
|
||||
### Regulated Reserves
|
||||
|
||||
USDC operates in adherence to regulatory standards and is backed by reserved assets.
|
||||
|
||||
### Transparency
|
||||
|
||||
Blockchain technology facilitates transparency, as all transactions are recorded publicly.
|
||||
|
||||
### Global Reach
|
||||
|
||||
Research has shown that wide availability of prediction markets increases their accuracy. Using decentralized blockchain technology removes the need for a central authority in trading, which fosters fairness and open participation around the globe.
