Fees & Trading Disclosure
How Quorly makes money on markets — and how it never makes money from your losses.
You trade with other participants — not against Quorly.
Every contract has two sides taken by two real market participants. A YES buyer is matched with a NO buyer through a regulated exchange's order book. The exchange holds the collateral, matches the orders, and settles winning contracts at $1.00. Quorly is the discovery, research, and social layer on top — never the counterparty, never the house, and never the odds-setter.
Proposed flat-fee schedule
| Item | Fee |
|---|---|
| Per matched contract | $0.01 |
| Minimum fee per matched order | $0.25 |
| Maximum fee cap | 2% of order notional |
| Canceled / unmatched orders | $0.00 |
| Standard bank deposits | $0.00 |
| Viewing, following, discussing markets | $0.00 |
| Q Credit forecasting | $0.00 |
This is a proposed commercial model. Any live fee must be approved by the regulated provider, permitted under applicable rules, displayed before execution, and recorded in the provider's system of record. Every order shows a complete fee preview — contract cost, quantity, transaction fee, total cost, maximum payout, maximum loss, and effective fee percentage — before you confirm.
How the revenue works
The regulated provider calculates and collects the approved transaction fee when two participants' orders match.
Quorly receives an agreed percentage of qualifying fees generated through its interface — e.g., a 30–35% share — reconciled through partner reporting.
Revenue scales with matched contracts, not with who wins. 5M matched contracts/mo at $0.01 ≈ $50K gross fees ≈ $17.5K to Quorly at a 35% share.

Legal structure
Real-money event contracts must be supplied, executed, cleared, custodied, and settled exclusively by an appropriately regulated third-party exchange (a CFTC-designated contract market). Quorly never holds customer trading funds, never receives cash wagers, never matches orders itself, and never settles contracts. There is no homemade wagering system — no Stripe/PayPal/crypto rails for bets, ever.
Real-money trading activates only after: a signed partner agreement, specialized derivatives legal review, written compliance approval, approved fees and disclosures, jurisdiction and age eligibility testing, security testing, and partner certification. Until then all forecasting uses free virtual Q Credits.
Quorly never profits from choosing the winning political side.
