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.

We never take the other side of your trade
We never profit based on which side loses
We never set or move the odds

Proposed flat-fee schedule

ItemFee
Per matched contract$0.01
Minimum fee per matched order$0.25
Maximum fee cap2% of order notional
Canceled / unmatched orders$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

1
The exchange charges the fee

The regulated provider calculates and collects the approved transaction fee when two participants' orders match.

2
Revenue is shared by contract

Quorly receives an agreed percentage of qualifying fees generated through its interface — e.g., a 30–35% share — reconciled through partner reporting.

3
Volume is the business

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.

Three systems that never mix

Q Credits stay virtual
  • ✓ Free forecasting & public accuracy records
  • ✓ Earned through participation, never purchased
Never: bought, withdrawn, cashed out, converted to trading balances, used as collateral, or used for tips.
Quorly Payments processes
  • ✓ Subscriptions (Plus / Pro / Creator Pro)
  • ✓ Optional creator tips & premium communities
  • ✓ Event tickets & research reports
  • ✓ Advertising & API plans
Never: trading orders, collateral, deposits, withdrawals, payouts, or any user-to-user wagering.
The regulated exchange processes
  • ✓ Trading accounts, deposits & withdrawals
  • ✓ Order matching & collateral
  • ✓ Transaction fees & settlement at $1 / $0
  • ✓ Trading tax documents
The provider is the system of record for every dollar that touches a contract.

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.

Real-money trading is not currently available through Quorly. You can participate using free Q Credits, build your public forecasting record, and discuss active markets. When real-money markets launch, trading services and fees will be provided by a named regulated exchange partner, and Quorly may receive a disclosed portion of transaction fees generated through this interface. Trading involves risk: you may lose the entire amount paid for a contract. Prices reflect market activity and may be wrong.

Quorly never profits from choosing the winning political side.
