# Best Practices

### For Market Creators

**Do**:

* Create clear, unambiguous events with verifiable outcomes
* Set reasonable timelines giving participants time to commit
* Promote your market actively to reach liquidity threshold
* Provide context in descriptions to attract participants
* Choose popular stablecoins (USDC, USDT) for broader appeal

**Don't**:

* Avoid subjective outcomes that cannot be objectively resolved
* Don't set close times too close to event occurrence
* Don't create spam markets (rate limiting will block you)

### For Participants

**Do**:

* Research the event before committing
* Commit early to maximize beta rewards if confident (when enabled)
* Diversify across multiple markets and outcomes
* Monitor positions and market activity
* Verify market parameters before committing

**Don't**:

* Don't commit to unclear events with ambiguous outcomes
* Don't risk more than you can afford to lose
* Don't ignore timelines and miss commitment windows
