## What it is

Limitless is an on-chain event-contract venue on Base. A market is a pair of outcome shares —
usually YES and NO — fully collateralised in USDC: one of each always redeems for 1.00 USDC
before resolution, a winning share redeems for exactly 1.00 USDC after it, and a losing share is
worth nothing. Shares trade between 0.01 and 0.99 USDC, so the price is the market's implied
probability.

Two mechanisms run side by side. Most markets are a central limit order book with separate YES
and NO books, where you trade against other users' resting orders; the rest are AMM markets,
where you trade against a curve. The order book is what the venue is built around, and it is
where the fee schedule below is most complicated.

The listing is dominated by short-cadence crypto markets — BTC and ETH up-or-down over 5
minutes, 15 minutes and an hour — alongside football and esports fixtures, equity-index levels,
and politics. Users can create their own markets and take a creator fee on them. A separate
product, Packs, bundles two to five legs into one position that pays only if every leg lands.

An account is a connected wallet, either an external one or an embedded wallet created at
signup. There is no identity check in the ordinary flow.

## Availability

The operator named in the terms is Street Chow Inc., a Panamanian company, and the document is
dated 15 September 2026. It carries two separate restrictions, and they are not the same thing:

- **Not available for trading** to users from the United States of America, the "Republic of
  China", and the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Alberta.
- **Not available at all** to users accessing from Russia, Belarus, Cuba, Iran, North Korea,
  Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

Everywhere else is served on the venue's own account, subject to the usual sanctions
representations and a ban on circumventing the restrictions.

What the terms do **not** say is how any of this is enforced — whether by IP block, by an
attestation at signup, or only by the clause itself. We have not funded an account, so the card
does not claim to know. KYC is not part of the ordinary signup, but the company reserves the
right to demand proof of age, identity or eligibility at any time and to suspend an account
until it is produced.

## Pricing

There is no subscription. The venue takes a cut of a fill, and the cut depends on the mechanism,
the side and the price.

- **Makers pay nothing.** A limit order that rests in the book is free even though you sign fee
  terms with it. Only orders that match immediately are charged.
- **AMM markets:** a flat 0.40%, with some promotional markets at zero.
- **Order-book buys:** 3.00% for any price from 0.01 to 0.50, then falling along a curve — 1.51%
  at 0.70, 1.05% at 0.80, 0.68% at 0.90, 0.42% at 0.99. The fee is taken in outcome tokens.
- **Order-book sells:** peak at 1.50% at the 0.50 midpoint and fall towards the extremes — 1.32%
  at 0.70, 0.78% at 0.90, 0.42% at 0.999. The fee is taken in USDC.
- **Redemption** of a winning share after resolution carries no trading fee.
- **Packs** carry a 10% vig on crypto and sports packs, already baked into the displayed
  multiplier. Stakes run from 1 to 70 USDC, the multiplier caps at 20x and the payout at 1,400
  USDC.

Those percentages are charged on the value of the fill, not on the $1 a winning share pays, so
they are not directly comparable to the per-contract rates elsewhere in this category. The 1.5%
in this card's fee field is the same worst case converted: a 3.00% buy at the 50-cent midpoint
costs 1.5 cents a contract, or 1.5% of the payout. AMM markets are far cheaper at a flat 0.40%.
The curve is not published as a closed-form formula; the venue's answer to that is that every
execution reports the rate that was actually applied.

## Markets & resolution

Resolution is split three ways, and which one applies is stated on the market page:

- **Pyth Network** resolves the majority of markets automatically at the deadline, using the
  full precision of the underlying feed.
- **Chainlink TWAP** resolves the 5- and 15-minute crypto up-or-down markets against a
  time-weighted average over a stated window, so a momentary spike at the boundary does not
  decide the market on its own.
- **The Limitless team** resolves custom event markets — sports, politics — manually, typically
  24 to 72 hours after the deadline.

The market page is the authoritative rule: it defines which real-world results resolve YES,
which resolve NO, and how ties, cancellations and unlisted outcomes are handled. If the
published criteria turn out to be ambiguous, the venue treats the market as misresolved and
falls back to its refund policy.

That refund policy is worth reading before it matters. If a market resolves to the wrong side,
holders of the side that should have won get back **what they paid for the shares** — the cost
basis, not the 1.00 USDC payout — while whoever was paid out on the wrong side keeps the money,
because the payout settled on-chain and cannot be clawed back. There is no dispute bond, no
juror vote and no appeal window: you report a misresolution to support, by email or on Discord,
and the team decides.

## Integrations

Programmatic access is a separate product with its own audience, its own tokens and its own
rate limits — REST and WebSocket endpoints, SDKs in four languages, and a first-party MCP
server. It has its own card: see [Limitless API](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/limitless-api).

## Limitations

- **No US traders**, by the venue's own terms, and no Ontario or Alberta.
- **A 3% taker fee on a buy below 50 cents** is high next to venues that charge takers nothing,
  and it is charged on exactly the low-probability side where a trader is buying the most
  shares per dollar.
- **The operator is the resolution authority** for everything Pyth and Chainlink cannot settle,
  and the only recourse against a bad resolution is a support ticket. The refund returns your
  cost basis, so being right and being misresolved still costs you the trade.
- **Packs are a 10% vig product.** The multiplier is displayed net, which makes the vig invisible
  rather than absent.
- **Web only** as far as we can verify — no mobile app is advertised on the site.
- **Nobody here has funded an account.** Everything above is read from the venue's own
  documentation and terms on 19 September 2026, not from a trade.

## FAQ

### Can I trade on Limitless from the United States?

No. The terms of service dated 15 September 2026 list the United States among the jurisdictions from which the platform is not available for trading, alongside the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Alberta. The terms do not describe how that restriction is enforced.

### What does a trade actually cost on Limitless?

Makers pay nothing. Takers on order-book markets pay 3.00% on a buy at any price up to 50 cents, falling to 0.42% at 99 cents, and up to 1.50% on a sell, peaking at the 50-cent midpoint. AMM markets charge a flat 0.40%. Redeeming a winning share after resolution carries no trading fee.

### Who decides how a Limitless market resolves?

Pyth Network resolves the majority of markets automatically at the deadline and Chainlink TWAP feeds resolve the 5- and 15-minute crypto markets. Everything else is resolved by the Limitless team, usually within 24 to 72 hours. There is no on-chain challenge and no juror vote.

### Do I need to pass KYC to use Limitless?

Not in the normal flow — an account is a connected wallet. The terms reserve the right to require proof of age, identity or eligibility at any time, so this is a default rather than a promise.
