Early Contributors Program
2% of STATE for resolver developers and market creators, beginning with a 500 million STATE Season 1 leaderboard
State Markets will not become useful because the protocol can deploy them. They become useful when developers unlock new kinds of onchain state and creators turn those capabilities into questions people genuinely want to predict, trade, and share.
Predistate is allocating 2% of the total STATE token supply solely to developers and market creators who contribute during the Experimental Beta. With a total supply of 100 billion STATE, that reserves 2 billion STATE for the program.
Reserved exclusively for Experimental Beta contributors who expand what State Markets can do or prove why they matter.
A zero-value environment for real experimentation
Every market in the Experimental Beta uses Mock USDG. It is freely mintable, has no monetary value, and can never be redeemed for real USDG.
That removes real collateral from the experiment. Contributors can create unusual markets, test complete market lifecycles, and learn what attracts participation without putting valuable assets at risk.
The capital is simulated, but the contribution is real. Resolvers are deployed onchain. Markets have actual rules and deadlines. Orders, trades, resolutions, and participant activity give us evidence about which State Markets deserve to exist when Predistate moves beyond the Experimental Beta.
State Market Resolver Developers
A resolver turns a new category of public onchain state into a reusable market primitive. Prices and token supply are only the beginning. Liquidity, balances, protocol revenue, lending utilization, liquidations, collateral ratios, governance state, and countless protocol-specific variables can each support their own State Markets.
We want to reward developers who expand that surface with resolvers that are useful beyond a single market. Strong contributions will combine an original market opportunity with safe state reading, clear assumptions, thorough tests, and documentation that lets independent creators reuse the resolver confidently.
- Unlock a meaningfully new category of onchain state.
- Build a reusable resolver rather than a one-off market.
- Document its trust assumptions, boundaries, and failure behavior.
- Demonstrate it through working Experimental Beta markets.
- Help creators understand where the resolver is most valuable.
Build a State Market ResolverSeason 1: Market Creators Leaderboard
A powerful resolver still needs a powerful question. Market creators reveal why a State Market type matters by applying it to the right token, threshold, deadline, and story.
Season 1 allocates 500 million STATE — 25% of the Early Contributors Program reserve — to Market Creators. It starts on July 24, 2026 at 00:00 UTC. Its closing date will be announced later.
- Every distinct wallet that completes a fill as maker or taker across your verified State Markets counts as one unique trader.
- A wallet counts once for you even if it trades repeatedly or participates in several markets you launched.
- Your own creator wallet is excluded. Self-trading, wash activity, linked-wallet farming, and other manufactured participation are not eligible.
- Only markets using verified resolver templates appear in the public ranking.
This rewards distribution rather than transaction spam. The strongest creator is the one who launches valuable or fun markets and introduces the greatest number of real participants to State Markets. The public leaderboard is transparent and continuously updated, while final eligibility remains subject to anti-sybil and wash-trading review.
Impact over activity
The 2% allocation is not a reward for generating the most transactions. Repetitive market creation, self-trading, wash activity, copied submissions, and other manufactured usage do not make the protocol more useful and will not improve a contribution.
Resolver contributions will be assessed by technical quality, originality, reusability, verification readiness, and demonstrated use. Season 1 Market Creator standings use the unique-trader metric described above, followed by eligibility review.
The final Season 1 distribution curve will be announced before the season closes. The remainder of the Early Contributors reserve remains available for resolver developers and future contributor programs.
Build the first map of the State Market surface
The most important State Market categories may not be the ones Predistate has already imagined. The best token examples may be economically valuable, culturally strange, unexpectedly useful, or all three.
Early contributors will help discover that surface. Resolver developers define what can become a market. Market creators show everyone why it should.
Two percent of STATE supply is reserved for the people who do that work during the Experimental Beta.
