Polymarket Introduces 4% Annual Rewards to Stabilize Long-Term Prediction Markets

Polymarket has launched a pioneering incentive program offering users up to 4% annualized returns for maintaining positions in select prediction markets. This strategic MOVE aims to enhance market stability and pricing accuracy, particularly for longer-duration contracts.

Daily rewards are calculated based on position value, with hourly sampling determining precise payouts. The initiative, currently funded by Polymarket's treasury, will evolve later this year with a streamlined one-click position transfer system—addressing a key friction point in prediction market participation.

The 4% yield significantly outpaces competitor offerings, positioning Polymarket as the most rewarding platform in its category. This development reflects the intensifying competition in decentralized prediction markets, where liquidity and accurate pricing mechanisms are becoming critical differentiators.
