Market Curation
$CUPDI holders can participate in shaping which prediction markets appear on Cupdiction. This is community curation — not protocol governance. Cupdiction retains final authority over market creation, listing, and removal.
Market curation access is a participation feature, not a control mechanism. Suggestions are reviewed by the Cupdiction team. Submitting a suggestion does not guarantee a market will be created.
What curation covers
Holders can participate in three types of curation:
| Type | What it does | Who can participate |
|---|---|---|
| Bags matchup suggestions | Propose two Bags tokens for a fee-race market | Mid tier and above |
| Featured market votes | Weekly vote on which markets appear in the Featured section | Mid tier and above |
| Solana event nominations | Suggest Solana prediction events for upcoming market creation | High tier and above |
Bags.fm matchup suggestions
Fee-race markets require two established (MIGRATED) Bags tokens. Holders with curation access can submit proposals for new matchups.
How to suggest a matchup:
- Navigate to
/solana/bagson the Cupdiction platform - Open the Suggest a Market panel (visible to eligible holders)
- Search for and select Token A and Token B
- Choose a preferred duration (30M / 1H / 4H)
- Add optional context or reasoning
- Submit for review
Review criteria: The Cupdiction team evaluates suggestions based on:
- Both tokens are MIGRATED status on Bags.fm
- Both tokens have sufficient fee history for a meaningful race
- The matchup has not recently been run
- No manipulation signals around either token
Outcome: Accepted suggestions may be created as markets within the upcoming schedule. Rejected suggestions receive no guaranteed explanation. Submitting frequently does not improve acceptance rate — quality of suggestion matters more.
Featured market voting
Each week, a shortlist of upcoming markets is put to a community vote. The markets with the most votes are promoted to the Featured section.
How voting works:
- Eligible holders see the voting panel in their profile or on the market discovery page
- Each holder gets a fixed number of votes per week (not proportional to token holdings — one holder, equal votes)
- Votes are cast for specific markets from the shortlist
- Results are applied weekly; the top-voted markets appear in Featured
Design note: Voting weight is equal per holder, not weighted by $CUPDI balance. This prevents large holders from dominating the Featured section.
Solana event nominations
High-tier and top-tier holders can nominate broader Solana ecosystem events for prediction markets. These are not restricted to Bags.fm — they can include protocol launches, governance votes, ecosystem milestones, or other verifiable on-chain events.
Guidelines for nominations:
- The event must have a clear, verifiable binary outcome
- The resolution source must be publicly accessible
- Nominators should disclose relevant conflicts of interest, including holdings, affiliations, or relationships connected to the proposed market. Cupdiction may reject, delay, or flag nominations where conflicts could undermine market quality or fairness.
Nominations are reviewed periodically. Not all nominations will be accepted, and no timeline is guaranteed.
What curation is not
- Not protocol governance. Holders cannot change smart contracts, adjust fees, or control treasury funds through curation.
- Not guaranteed listings. All suggestions go through Cupdiction team review. Cupdiction can reject any suggestion for any reason.
- Not market control. Holders who suggest a market have no special access to that market’s resolution, pricing, or administration.
- Not moderation authority. Curation access does not include the ability to remove, pause, or modify existing markets.
