# For makers

> How to create markets, seed liquidity, and earn fees on ezpz.fi.

## What makers do

**Makers** create and run markets on ezpz.fi. You:

* Create and publish prediction markets
* Set odds and configure market rules
* Seed AMM liquidity so players can trade
* Earn maker fees on every prediction placed on your markets

Makers use a **linked account** separate from a player account. Switch between roles via account switching — you cannot upgrade a player account in place.

## Become a maker

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign up as a maker">
    Register and select the maker flow during onboarding, or use **Become a maker** from an existing account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable MFA">
    Go to **Settings** (`/settings`) and enable TOTP with an authenticator app. Save your recovery codes. See [Account & security](/guides/account-security).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fund your wallet">
    Deposit USDC into your maker custodial wallet. A minimum balance may be required before you can publish (configured by operators).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Create a market

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open authoring">
    Navigate to **Authoring** (`/authoring`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the wizard">
    Click **New market** (`/authoring/new`) and follow the steps: venue, odds, resolution source, and review.
  </Step>

  <Step title="For pump.fun coins">
    Use **Author coin** (`/authoring/coin`) to create synthetic markets on pump.fun tokens — graduation, market-cap threshold, or 5-minute up/down. Anyone with a maker account can author; linking your creator wallet is optional for a verified badge. See [For pump.fun creators & community](/guides/pumpfun-creators).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish">
    Submit the market. On-chain creation runs in the background — status updates appear in your authoring dashboard (`/authoring/[id]`).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Seed liquidity

After a market is created on-chain, seed the AMM pool:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the market">
    From your authoring dashboard, select the published market.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Initialize and seed">
    Complete pool initialization and add USDC liquidity at your chosen odds ratio.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify">
    Confirm the market appears on the public feed with tradeable prices.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Configure fees

| Setting       | Description                                       |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **Maker fee** | 0.5–5% skimmed on every prediction (you set this) |

View accrued fees at **Authoring → Fees** (`/authoring/fees`).

## Claim maker fees

Fees accumulate on-chain in the maker fee intake. Claim them from your authoring dashboard when markets show a claimable balance.

## Market management

From your authoring dashboard you can:

* Review publish status and on-chain confirmation
* Edit metadata before the market goes live
* Void a market (triggers player refunds)

<Warning>
  Voiding a live market affects all open players. Use only when the market cannot be fairly resolved.
</Warning>

## Rules and integrity

| Protection                | Effect                                                          |
| ------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Min maker balance         | Cannot publish below operator-configured threshold              |
| Self-prediction detection | Auto-suspend and refund if you predict on your own markets      |
| Odds bounds               | On-chain overround enforced between 50–500 bps                  |
| Maker ban                 | Operators can ban makers; pending predictions are auto-refunded |

## What's not in M1

* Open bonded market proposals (anyone can propose a market)
* CLOB limit-order market making for retail
* Cross-vertical parlay authoring

These are planned for future releases.
