Markets are powered by a simple, immutable [smart contract](https://github.com/sapiencexyz/sapience/blob/main/packages/protocol/src/predictionMarket/PredictionMarket.sol) which rewards wagered collateral to a winner according to a decentralized oracle network. Users broadcast a prediction and an amount they'd like to wager. This triggers an auction where others compete to provide the best odds. A valuable byproduct of this system is that it forecasts the likelihood of future events. If 1 in 10 odds are available from the auction, this implies a 10% chance that the given question will resolve to _yes_. This system is ideal for most prediction markets, as it supports custom parlays and niche forecasting questions that are valuable to predict. Markets with longer time horizons and more continuous trading activity are deployed as CLOB-like spot markets. These are implemented with a protocol that integrates with [Uniswap](https://www.uniswap.org/) , the most popular onchain decentralized exchange. We believe recent developments in artificial intelligence have unlocked a new design space: _forecasting agents_. Prediction markets can incentivize their development and help society anticipate—and prepare for—the future. Our [developer tools](https://www.sapience.xyz/bots) are designed for hobbyists with no programming experience as well as professional trading desks. Get started by [deploying a forecasting agent](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/forecasting-agent) with just a few clicks, or [continue reading](https://docs.sapience.xyz/user-guide/other-resources/glossary) about Sapience. --- # Glossary of Terms – Sapience [Skip to content](https://docs.sapience.xyz/user-guide/other-resources/glossary#vocs-content) Search...

For example: "Will Mamdani become the mayor of NYC?" + "Yes" or "No" * **Parlay** - A group of prediction outcomes. All outcomes in a parlay must resolve as predicted for the parlay to win. * **Anti-Parlay** - A wager that at least one of the predicted outcomes will not occur as stated. * **Wager** - Collateral staked on one on more predicted outcomes. * **Auction** - The system in which prediction market participants bid on predicted outcomes. * **Spot Market** - A system where _Yes_ tokens are traded in a CLOB-like onchain market powered by [Uniswap](https://uniswap.org/) . * **Settlement** - When a verifier determines the winner and distributes the collateral accordingly. * **Verifier** - A smart contract that integrates with an oracle network to determine the outcome of conditions. * **USDe** - [Ethena](https://ethena.fi/) 's reward-bearing synthetic dollar, used as collateral in prediction markets. * **Market Groups** - Prediction markets grouped together by theme, category, or topic for easier navigation and discovery. --- # Trading on Sapience — Overview [Skip to content](https://docs.sapience.xyz/user-guide/trading/overview#vocs-content) Search... [![Logo](https://docs.sapience.xyz/sapience-dark.svg)![Logo](https://docs.sapience.xyz/sapience.svg)](https://docs.sapience.xyz/) [![Logo](https://docs.sapience.xyz/sapience-dark.svg)![Logo](https://docs.sapience.xyz/sapience.svg)](https://docs.sapience.xyz/) Menu Chevron Down Menu Overview On this page Chevron Right What are prediction markets?[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/user-guide/trading/overview#what-are-prediction-markets) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prediction markets are trading platforms where participants wager on the outcomes of future events. Unlike traditional betting, these markets create tradable positions that reflect the collective probability of an outcome occurring. When someone believes an event is likely or not, they can take the current odds or wager against them. Why Sapience?[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/user-guide/trading/overview#why-sapience) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sapience is community‑first with no fees collected by an exchange, fully [open source](https://github.com/sapiencexyz/sapience) , and trustless by design—immutable smart contracts and decentralized settlement remove the need to trust an intermediary. Under the hood, Sapience supports two complementary market types for different use cases. Auctions power multi‑condition predictions (parlays) with RFQ‑like matching, while spot markets enable continuous trading of single outcomes with efficient price discovery. All trading happens on [Arbitrum](https://arbitrum.io/) using [Ethena](https://ethena.fi/) 's reward‑bearing synthetic dollar USDe as collateral. Getting Started[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/user-guide/trading/overview#getting-started) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can use an Ethereum account to trade prediction markets. The [Sapience app](https://www.sapience.xyz/) allows you to make an account seamlessly using email or SMS authentication and fund it seamlessly. (You can backup your private key and use the account with any other application that's built on Ethereum if you'd like.) Builders can follow this [Getting Started guide](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/getting-started/get-started) to create an Ethereum private key, fund it with ETH for network fees on [Arbitrum](https://arbitrum.io/) and [Ethena](https://ethena.fi/) 's synthetic dollar [USDe](https://arbiscan.io/token/0x5d3a1ff2b6bab83b63cd9ad0787074081a52ef34) to wager. **The invite-only trading competition is using [testUSDe](https://arbiscan.io/address/0xfEb8C4d5eFbaFf6e928eA090Bc660c363f883DBA) as collateral, which you can request in [Discord](https://discord.gg/sapience) .** --- # Auction Markets – Sapience [Skip to content](https://docs.sapience.xyz/user-guide/trading/auction-markets#vocs-content) Search... [![Logo](https://docs.sapience.xyz/sapience-dark.svg)![Logo](https://docs.sapience.xyz/sapience.svg)](https://docs.sapience.xyz/) [![Logo](https://docs.sapience.xyz/sapience-dark.svg)![Logo](https://docs.sapience.xyz/sapience.svg)](https://docs.sapience.xyz/) Menu Chevron Down Menu Auction Markets On this page Chevron Right Overview[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/user-guide/trading/auction-markets#overview) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Auctions power Sapience's primary system for conditional predictions. They enable you to combine multiple prediction outcomes into a single parlay and trade them through a short-lived RFQ-style matching process. **Parlays** let you express multi-condition forecasts. Example: "Team A wins AND turnout ≥ 60%." If every condition resolves as predicted, the parlay wins; one incorrect leg loses the entire position. * **Why parlays?** Higher potential payout for compound forecasts, simple win/lose outcome, and expressive predictions beyond a single market. * **Probability intuition:** When outcomes are independent, the parlay's implied probability is the product of individual probabilities — hence lower combined probability and higher potential payoff. How Auctions Work[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/user-guide/trading/auction-markets#how-auctions-work) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Auctions use an **RFQ (Request-for-Quote) model**: 1. Taker starts an auction by announcing their parlay (predicted outcomes + wager) to the relayer 2. Makers submit competing bids with their desired wager amounts and signed quotes 3. Maker selects the best bid (typically highest wager among non-expired quotes) 4. The taker transfers collateral and mints NFTs for both the taker and maker (the parlay and anti-parlay) 5. After the verifier smart contract is able to settle the wager, the NFTs can be burned and the winner receives the collateral. --- # Providing Liquidity – Sapience [Skip to content](https://docs.sapience.xyz/user-guide/liquidity-overview#vocs-content) Search...

They're ideal when you want to express a view on one specific outcome with fine-grained control over your position's size. _Yes_ tokens (worth 1 USDe if the market resolves to yes) trade against USDe through an liquidity pool with concentrated liquidity—similar to an onchain orderbook. How Spot Markets Work[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/user-guide/trading/spot-markets#how-spot-markets-work) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spot Markets use a **concentrated liquidity model**: 1. Liquidity providers supply capital across specific price ranges 2. Traders take positions by trading against available liquidity 3. Positions settle based on the final outcome: YES holders receive full value if the market resolves Yes, or zero if it resolves No 4. Markets can settle to binary outcomes (0 for No, 1 for Yes) or custom ranges for questions with numeric answers. --- # Verification & Settlement – Sapience [Skip to content](https://docs.sapience.xyz/user-guide/trading/resolution-and-disputes#vocs-content) Search...

Additional verifier contracts are under development. UMA[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/user-guide/trading/resolution-and-disputes#uma) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * After the end time of a market/condition has passed and the market deployer can submit a resolution to UMA, also providing a bond. * During a challenge window (the "assertion liveness") following submission, anyone can dispute this settlement by posting an equal-sized bond. * If no dispute is submitted during this period, market participants can then withdraw collateral based on the value of their position according to the settlement. * If a dispute is submitted, UMA tokenholders vote to determine whether the assertion is true or false. Another settlement must be submitted for the market. * If the vote resolves to true, the disputer loses their bond. If the vote resolves to false, the asserter loses their bond. --- # Auction Liquidity – Sapience [Skip to content](https://docs.sapience.xyz/user-guide/batch-auction-liquidity#vocs-content) Search...

Second, make sure your github account is connected and authorized. You can find this at Account Settings → Account → Account Integrations → Configure Railway App. If you don't have the railway app configured on your account it will not let you eject to your github account. 1. In Railway, open your service → Source → Eject → choose your GitHub org → Eject service 2. Clone the newly created repo and set up locally: Copy `git clone your-forecast-agent cd your-forecast-agent # install deps (choose your tool) bun install # or: pnpm install / npm install cp .env.example .env # Required: OpenRouter API key for LLM access # OPENROUTER_API_KEY= # Required: Private key for on-chain attestations # EVM_PRIVATE_KEY= # Optional: Enable automated trading # ENABLE_PARLAY_TRADING=true` 3. Push changes; enable Autodeploy in Railway so pushes redeploy automatically. ### Edit Your Agent's Code[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/forecasting-agent#edit-your-agents-code) You’ll customize prompts and model selection. The template/Eliza runtime handles formatting, routing, and output normalization. 1. Edit prompts/persona in `src/character.ts`: * Update `name`, `bio`, `lore`, `style`, etc — this is your system prompt * Add domain context and instructions for producing a single percent chance (0–100%) for Yes/No markets 2. Choose/override the model: * Set environment in Railway (recommended): * Preferred: `OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://openrouter.ai/api/v1`, set `OPENAI_API_KEY` to your OpenRouter key, and choose a model id (e.g. `openai/gpt-4o-mini`) * Direct providers: You may instead use OpenAI/Anthropic keys with their native SDKs, but OpenRouter unifies models and billing * If the template pins a model in code, update the LLM provider in `src/index.ts` to your desired model/provider 3. Verify outputs and iterate quickly: * Keep structured logs on; each run should show the chosen market, your percent forecast, and (if enabled) the EAS attestation hash * Tighten prompts or switch models to improve calibration and stability 4. Quick edge ideas: * Constrain output to a single number with units, e.g., "62%" * Lower temperature for stability; compare small models for cost vs. quality * Add lightweight retrieval (e.g., headlines) if supported by the template * Track a rolling window of forecasts to see variance and bias 5. Wire invocation behavior in `src/index.ts`: * Ensure your forecasting action/provider is registered so it can run on a schedule or on command * Keep logs enabled to inspect inputs/outputs and iterate quickly 6. Tune market selection: * Default: queries Sapience for open markets, sorts by soonest `endTimestamp`, and picks the next closing market; de-duplicates by group when present * Tweak: filter by topic/category via environment, pin a specific market or group, or swap the selection provider/action in `src/index.ts` * Logs include `marketId`, `groupId` (if present), and `endTimestamp` so you can verify behavior ### Run Locally[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/forecasting-agent#run-locally) Local development (example with Bun): Copy `# after Eject, clone your repo (replace with your URL) git clone your-sage-bot cd your-sage-bot bun install cp .env.example .env # Required: OpenRouter API key for LLM access # OPENROUTER_API_KEY= # Required: Private key for on-chain attestations # EVM_PRIVATE_KEY= # Required: Enable automated trading # ENABLE_PARLAY_TRADING=true bun run dev` Looking to deploy manually?

Enable Automated Parlay Trading[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/forecasting-agent#enable-automated-parlay-trading) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your forecasting agent can automatically place $1 wagers on parlays based on its predictions: * **Predictions >50%** → Buy YES tokens * **Predictions <50%** → Buy NO tokens ### Setup Parlay Trading[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/forecasting-agent#setup-parlay-trading) 1. **Enable Trading** by setting the environment variable: Copy `ENABLE_PARLAY_TRADING=true` 2. **Configure Trading Parameters** (optional): Copy `# Wager amount in USDe (18 decimals) PARLAY_WAGER_AMOUNT=1000000000000000000 # $1 default # Only trade when prediction confidence exceeds threshold MIN_TRADING_CONFIDENCE=0.6 # 60% default # Maximum acceptable slippage MAX_TRADING_SLIPPAGE=5 # 5% default` 3. **Ensure Wallet Funding**: Your `ETHEREUM_PRIVATE_KEY` wallet needs USDe on Arbitrum for trading. ### How It Works[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/forecasting-agent#how-it-works) After each forecast attestation, if trading is enabled: 1. **Confidence Check**: Only trades if prediction confidence > `MIN_TRADING_CONFIDENCE` 2. **Direction**: Buys YES tokens for >50% predictions, NO tokens for <50% 3. **Auction Process**: Connects to Sapience WebSocket, participates in parlay auctions 4. **Execution**: Approves USDe and calls PredictionMarket.mint() with best bid 5. **Logging**: Reports trade execution with transaction hash ⚠️ **Risk Warning**: Automated trading involves financial risk. Start with small amounts and monitor performance. ### Alternative: Manual Trading[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/forecasting-agent#alternative-manual-trading) For more control, see the [Trading Bots](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/trading-bots) guide for custom trading implementations. --- # Market Making Agent – Sapience [Skip to content](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/market-making-agent#vocs-content) Search...

The smart contract code refers to market groups as markets. ### Can I reuse my position across markets?[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/faq#can-i-reuse-my-position-across-markets) No. Once a position is created, it is associated with its market as either a trader or liquidity position for its entire lifetime (with one exception, explained below). ### Why did my liquidity position become a trader position when I closed it?[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/faq#why-did-my-liquidity-position-become-a-trader-position-when-i-closed-it) Market activity can make a liquidity position long or short in the market. When closing out a liquidity position, it may be converted to a trader position of that size. This can be closed in a subsequent call to `modifyTraderPosition`. ### What are ticks?[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/faq#what-are-ticks) Ticks are units of measurement used to define specific price ranges in the Uniswap V3 pools. A tick is the smallest area where liquidity can be placed. Trades are filled with liquidity from ticks sequentially, like an onchain orderbook. ### What units are used for prices?[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/faq#what-units-are-used-for-prices) The prices are represented in Uniswap V3's sqrtPriceX96 format. This is a fixed-point number that represents the square root of the price, scaled by 2^96. To convert to a regular price: 1. Divide the sqrtPriceX96 by 2^96 to get the square root of the price 2. Square the result to get the actual price For example, if sqrtPriceX96 is 79228162514264337593543950336 (2^96), the price would be 1e18. (This is 1 followed by 18 zeros representing decimal places). This value is used to represent "yes" in binary markets. This format allows for precise price calculations while maintaining high numerical precision in the smart contract. ### What are index, resource, and trailing index prices?[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/faq#what-are-index-resource-and-trailing-index-prices) These prices are only relevant to numeric markets (not binary or "yes"/"no" markets). * **Resource Price**: The actual price paid for the underlying resource at a given time (e.g., gas price on a specific block) * **Index Price**: The average resource price over a given period, used as a Settlement Price estimate while the period is in progress * **Trailing Average Resource Price**: The average resource price over a previous duration, useful for estimating what a Settlement Price would be for a hypothetical period --- # Contributing – Sapience [Skip to content](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/contributing#vocs-content) Search...

Validation[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/reference/auction-relayer#validation) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Server-side checks (summarized from `packages/api/src/auction/sim.ts`, `helpers.ts`, `registry.ts`, and `ws.ts`). ### Auction payload[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/reference/auction-relayer#auction-payload) * `wager` must parse to BigInt and be > 0 * `predictedOutcomes` must be an array with ≥1 element, each a non-empty bytes string * `resolver` must be provided (0x address expected by downstream) * `maker` must be a valid `0x` address (40 hex) ### Bid payload[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/reference/auction-relayer#bid-payload) * `auctionId` must be a non-empty string of an active auction * `taker` must be a valid `0x` address (40 hex) * `takerWager` must parse to BigInt and be > 0 * `takerDeadline` must be a finite number strictly greater than `now` (unix seconds) * `takerSignature` must be a hex string starting with `0x` and a sensible length If any check fails, `bid.ack` includes an `error` string. Common reasons: * `invalid_payload` * `invalid_auction_id` * `invalid_taker` * `invalid_taker_wager` * `invalid_wager_values` * `quote_expired` * `invalid_taker_bid_signature_format` * `auction_not_found_or_expired` Signature semantics (strict mode)[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/reference/auction-relayer#signature-semantics-strict-mode) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic format checks are always applied. When chain and contract addresses are configured, the relayer performs optional EIP-712 verification (see `verifyTakerBidStrict`).

On-chain flow context[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/reference/auction-relayer#on-chain-flow-context) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Relayer focuses on off-chain matching and signature validation. On-chain minting and settlement are handled by `PredictionMarket.sol` (and related contracts). Key checks performed on-chain at `mint` include: * Maker must be the caller (`MakerIsNotCaller`) * `takerDeadline` must be in the future (`TakerDeadlineExpired`) * Non-zero collaterals and above minimum (`MakerCollateralMustBeGreaterThanZero`, `TakerCollateralMustBeGreaterThanZero`, `CollateralBelowMinimum`) * Non-empty `encodedPredictedOutcomes` (`InvalidEncodedPredictedOutcomes`) * Taker signature validity (EOA or ERC-1271) over the same preimage described above (`InvalidTakerSignature`) * Market validation via resolver (`InvalidMarketsAccordingToResolver`) Both parties must set ERC-20 approvals to allow the contract to pull their collateral.

UMA Overview[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/reference/oracles-and-settlement#uma-overview) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UMA (Universal Market Access) is our primary oracle solution that provides dispute-based verification for market outcomes. **How UMA Works:** * **Assertion Phase**: Anyone can submit a market outcome claim with a bond * **Challenge Period**: During the liveness window (typically hours to days), anyone can dispute the claim by posting a counter-bond * **Resolution**: If no dispute occurs, the assertion is accepted. If disputed, UMA's voting mechanism resolves the truth * **Finality**: Markets settle automatically once the challenge period expires without valid disputes UMA's optimistic approach means most assertions resolve quickly without disputes, while the economic incentives ensure accurate outcomes through potential challenges. Order Book Markets Settlement Interface[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/reference/oracles-and-settlement#order-book-markets-settlement-interface) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Order Book Markets (CLOB-like) use the UMA Settlement Module for continuous trading with concentrated liquidity: Copy `interface IUMASettlementModule { event SettlementSubmitted( uint256 marketId, address asserter, uint160 settlementSqrtPriceX96, uint256 submissionTime ); event SettlementDisputed(uint256 marketId, uint256 disputeTime); event MarketSettled(uint256 marketId, bytes32 assertionId, uint160 settlementSqrtPriceX96); /** * @notice Submit a settlement price for a market * @param params Settlement parameters including market ID, asserter, and price * @return assertionId The UMA assertion ID for tracking */ function submitSettlementPrice(SettlementPriceParams memory params) external returns (bytes32); /** * @notice Callback when UMA resolves an assertion * @param assertionId The assertion ID that was resolved * @param assertedTruthfully Whether the assertion was determined to be truthful */ function assertionResolvedCallback(bytes32 assertionId, bool assertedTruthfully) external; /** * @notice Callback when UMA assertion is disputed * @param assertionId The assertion ID that was disputed */ function assertionDisputedCallback(bytes32 assertionId) external; } struct SettlementPriceParams { uint256 marketId; address asserter; // Address that posted the bond uint160 settlementSqrtPriceX96; // Settlement price in sqrt format }` Auction Markets Settlement Interface[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/reference/oracles-and-settlement#auction-markets-settlement-interface) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Auction Markets (Auction/Intent) use the Prediction Market Resolver interface (verifier) that markets connect to: Copy `interface IPredictionMarketResolver { enum Error { NO_ERROR, INVALID_MARKET, MARKET_NOT_OPENED, MARKET_NOT_SETTLED } /** * @notice Validate predicted markets before minting positions * @param encodedPredictedOutcomes Encoded outcomes to validate * @return isValid Whether outcomes are valid * @return error Error code if invalid */ function validatePredictionMarkets( bytes calldata encodedPredictedOutcomes ) external view returns (bool isValid, Error error); /** * @notice Resolve a prediction and determine the winner * @param encodedPredictedOutcomes Encoded outcomes to resolve * @return isValid Whether resolution is possible * @return error Error code if resolution cannot proceed * @return makerWon True if maker wins, false if taker wins */ function resolvePrediction( bytes calldata encodedPredictedOutcomes ) external view returns (bool isValid, Error error, bool makerWon); }` _Note: We have additional oracle adapters in development._ --- # Liquidity Provisioning Bots – Sapience [Skip to content](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/liquidity-provisioning-bots#vocs-content) Search...

Complete the [Forecasting Agent](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/forecasting-agent) and [Trading Bots](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/trading-bots) first to understand basic bot setup and market interaction patterns. What is Liquidity Provisioning?[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/liquidity-provisioning-bots#what-is-liquidity-provisioning) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **Liquidity provisioning** means depositing your capital into a market to facilitate trading for others. When traders want to buy or sell, they trade against your liquidity. In return, you earn fees on every trade that passes through your position. Think of it like being a **market maker**: * Traditional traders: "I want to buy 100 Yes shares at 50 USDe" * Liquidity providers: "I'll provide liquidity between 0.45-0.55 USDe per share, so anyone can trade in that range" ### How it works on Sapience[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/liquidity-provisioning-bots#how-it-works-on-sapience) 1. **Deposit collateral** (e.g., 1,000 USDe) and choose a **price range** (e.g., 0.40-0.60 USDe per Yes Share) 2. **The protocol automatically** converts your collateral into YES and NO tokens across that range 3. **Traders pay fees** when they swap through your range (you earn these fees) 4. **Your inventory shifts** as price moves—if price rises, you accumulate more NO tokens; if price falls, you get more YES tokens 5. **At settlement**, your tokens convert to their final values (0 or 1 USDe), and you keep all fees earned ### Key benefits[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/liquidity-provisioning-bots#key-benefits) * **Passive income**: Earn fees without actively trading * **Automated execution**: No need to manually place and cancel orders * **Flexible ranges**: Choose tight ranges for higher fees or wide ranges for more trading volume * **Multiple positions**: Run several strategies simultaneously ### Key risks[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/liquidity-provisioning-bots#key-risks) * **Inventory risk**: You might end up holding the losing side at settlement * **Impermanent loss**: Your final payout might be less than just holding the winning tokens * **Fee dependency**: You need to earn enough fees to compensate for potential losses * * * For CLOB Market Makers[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/liquidity-provisioning-bots#for-clob-market-makers) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you're familiar with traditional order book market making, here's how LP translates: **CLOB**: Place discrete bid/ask orders → **LP**: Provide liquidity across continuous price ranges **CLOB**: Cancel/replace orders as price moves → **LP**: Adjust range boundaries or add/remove liquidity **CLOB**: Inventory changes when orders fill → **LP**: Inventory shifts continuously as price moves through your range **CLOB**: Earn spread on filled orders → **LP**: Earn fees on all volume passing through your range **Advantages of LP over CLOB:** * No latency wars or order replacement races * Continuous fee earning vs. discrete fills * Built-in inventory management through range selection * Lower operational overhead * * * LP Strategy Examples[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/liquidity-provisioning-bots#lp-strategy-examples) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ### Wide Range Market Making[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/liquidity-provisioning-bots#wide-range-market-making) **Strategy**: Provide liquidity across a broad price range to capture volume from large price movements while minimizing the risk of going out of range. This strategy works well for volatile markets where you want steady fee income without constantly rebalancing positions. Copy ``import { useCreateLiquidityQuoter, useCreateLP } from '@sapience/app/hooks/contract'; import { priceToTick } from '@sapience/app/lib/utils/tickUtils'; async function wideRangeStrategy({ marketAddress, marketAbi, chainId, marketId, tickSpacing = 200 }) { const collateralAmount = '2000'; // $2000 position size // Wide range: 20% to 80% (captures most price action) const lowPrice = 0.20; const highPrice = 0.80; const lowTick = priceToTick(lowPrice, tickSpacing); const highTick = priceToTick(highPrice, tickSpacing); const { amount0, amount1 } = useCreateLiquidityQuoter({ marketAddress, marketAbi, marketId: BigInt(marketId), chainId, collateralAmount, lowTick, highTick, enabled: true, }); const { createLP } = useCreateLP({ marketAddress, marketAbi, chainId, marketId: BigInt(marketId), collateralAmount, lowPriceTick: lowTick, highPriceTick: highTick, amount0, amount1, slippagePercent: 1.0, // 1% slippage tolerance }); await createLP(); console.log(`Wide range LP created: ${lowPrice}-${highPrice}`); }`` ### Tight Range Scalping[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/liquidity-provisioning-bots#tight-range-scalping) **Strategy**: Place liquidity in a narrow band around the current price to maximize fee APY. Requires active management to stay in range. Best for stable markets or when you have strong conviction about price staying within a tight range. Copy ``async function tightRangeStrategy({ marketAddress, marketAbi, chainId, marketId, currentPrice, tickSpacing = 200 }) { const collateralAmount = '500'; // Smaller position for active management // Tight 5% range around current price const spread = 0.025; // 2.5% on each side const lowPrice = Math.max(0.01, currentPrice - spread); const highPrice = Math.min(0.99, currentPrice + spread); const lowTick = priceToTick(lowPrice, tickSpacing); const highTick = priceToTick(highPrice, tickSpacing); const { amount0, amount1 } = useCreateLiquidityQuoter({ marketAddress, marketAbi, marketId: BigInt(marketId), chainId, collateralAmount, lowTick, highTick, enabled: true, }); const { createLP } = useCreateLP({ marketAddress, marketAbi, chainId, marketId: BigInt(marketId), collateralAmount, lowPriceTick: lowTick, highPriceTick: highTick, amount0, amount1, slippagePercent: 0.3, // Tight slippage for precise execution }); await createLP(); console.log(`Tight range LP created: ${lowPrice.toFixed(3)}-${highPrice.toFixed(3)}`); } // Rebalancing function for tight range strategy async function rebalanceTightRange({ positionId, currentPrice, currentLow, currentHigh, marketAddress, marketAbi, chainId }) { // Check if current price is near range edges const priceRange = currentHigh - currentLow; const distanceFromLow = currentPrice - currentLow; const distanceFromHigh = currentHigh - currentPrice; // Rebalance if price is within 20% of range edges if (distanceFromLow < priceRange * 0.2 || distanceFromHigh < priceRange * 0.2) { console.log('Rebalancing tight range position...'); // Close current position await closeLiquidityPosition({ positionId, marketAddress, marketAbi, chainId }); // Create new position centered on current price await tightRangeStrategy({ marketAddress, marketAbi, chainId, marketId: positionId, currentPrice }); } }`` ### Inventory-Aware Skewed Liquidity[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/liquidity-provisioning-bots#inventory-aware-skewed-liquidity) **Strategy**: Skew your liquidity based on your forecast and current inventory to optimize for both fees and directional exposure. Perfect when you have a forecast but want to earn fees while expressing that view. Copy ``async function skewedLiquidityStrategy({ marketAddress, marketAbi, chainId, marketId, forecast, // Your probability forecast (0-1) currentInventory, // { yesTokens, noTokens } tickSpacing = 200 }) { const collateralAmount = '1500'; // Skew range based on forecast and inventory const baseWidth = 0.15; // 15% base width // If forecast is bullish (>0.5), skew range higher // If forecast is bearish (<0.5), skew range lower const skewFactor = (forecast - 0.5) * 0.2; // Max 10% skew // Adjust for inventory imbalance const inventoryTotal = currentInventory.yesTokens + currentInventory.noTokens; const inventorySkew = inventoryTotal > 0 ? (currentInventory.noTokens - currentInventory.yesTokens) / inventoryTotal * 0.1 : 0; const centerPrice = forecast + skewFactor + inventorySkew; const lowPrice = Math.max(0.01, centerPrice - baseWidth / 2); const highPrice = Math.min(0.99, centerPrice + baseWidth / 2); const lowTick = priceToTick(lowPrice, tickSpacing); const highTick = priceToTick(highPrice, tickSpacing); console.log(`Skewed LP: forecast=${forecast.toFixed(3)}, range=${lowPrice.toFixed(3)}-${highPrice.toFixed(3)}`); const { amount0, amount1 } = useCreateLiquidityQuoter({ marketAddress, marketAbi, marketId: BigInt(marketId), chainId, collateralAmount, lowTick, highTick, enabled: true, }); const { createLP } = useCreateLP({ marketAddress, marketAbi, chainId, marketId: BigInt(marketId), collateralAmount, lowPriceTick: lowTick, highPriceTick: highTick, amount0, amount1, slippagePercent: 0.7, }); await createLP(); }`` ### Multi-Range Grid Strategy[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/liquidity-provisioning-bots#multi-range-grid-strategy) **Strategy**: Create multiple LP positions at different price levels to capture fees across the entire market range while managing inventory risk. Excellent for earning consistent fees while limiting exposure to any single price range. Copy ``async function gridStrategy({ marketAddress, marketAbi, chainId, marketId, totalCollateral = '3000', numRanges = 5, tickSpacing = 200 }) { const collateralPerRange = (parseFloat(totalCollateral) / numRanges).toString(); const positions = []; // Create 5 ranges across the market for (let i = 0; i < numRanges; i++) { const rangeWidth = 0.15; // 15% width per range const rangeCenter = 0.1 + (i * 0.8 / (numRanges - 1)); // Spread from 10% to 90% const lowPrice = Math.max(0.01, rangeCenter - rangeWidth / 2); const highPrice = Math.min(0.99, rangeCenter + rangeWidth / 2); const lowTick = priceToTick(lowPrice, tickSpacing); const highTick = priceToTick(highPrice, tickSpacing); const { amount0, amount1 } = useCreateLiquidityQuoter({ marketAddress, marketAbi, marketId: BigInt(marketId), chainId, collateralAmount: collateralPerRange, lowTick, highTick, enabled: true, }); const { createLP } = useCreateLP({ marketAddress, marketAbi, chainId, marketId: BigInt(marketId), collateralAmount: collateralPerRange, lowPriceTick: lowTick, highPriceTick: highTick, amount0, amount1, slippagePercent: 0.8, }); await createLP(); positions.push({ lowPrice, highPrice, collateral: collateralPerRange }); console.log(`Grid range ${i + 1}: ${lowPrice.toFixed(3)}-${highPrice.toFixed(3)}`); // Add delay between positions to avoid rate limiting await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 2000)); } return positions; }`` ### Dynamic Range Adjustment[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/liquidity-provisioning-bots#dynamic-range-adjustment) **Strategy**: Automatically adjust your LP ranges based on market volatility and time to resolution. Adapts to changing market conditions without manual intervention. Copy ``import { useModifyLP, useModifyLiquidityQuoter } from '@sapience/app/hooks/contract'; async function dynamicRangeStrategy({ marketAddress, marketAbi, chainId, marketId, positionId, currentLiquidity, currentPrice, volatility, // Recent price volatility (0-1) timeToResolution, // Hours until market resolves tickSpacing = 200 }) { // Adjust range width based on volatility and time let rangeWidth = 0.10; // Base 10% width // Widen range during high volatility if (volatility > 0.05) rangeWidth *= 1.5; if (volatility > 0.10) rangeWidth *= 2.0; // Narrow range as resolution approaches (less time for mean reversion) if (timeToResolution < 24) rangeWidth *= 0.8; // Within 24 hours if (timeToResolution < 6) rangeWidth *= 0.6; // Within 6 hours if (timeToResolution < 1) rangeWidth *= 0.4; // Within 1 hour // Calculate new range const lowPrice = Math.max(0.01, currentPrice - rangeWidth / 2); const highPrice = Math.min(0.99, currentPrice + rangeWidth / 2); const lowTick = priceToTick(lowPrice, tickSpacing); const highTick = priceToTick(highPrice, tickSpacing); console.log(`Dynamic range adjustment: ${lowPrice.toFixed(3)}-${highPrice.toFixed(3)} (vol: ${volatility.toFixed(3)}, hours: ${timeToResolution.toFixed(1)})`); // Remove current liquidity const { modifyLP: removeLP } = useModifyLP({ marketAddress, marketAbi, chainId, positionId: String(positionId), mode: 'remove', liquidityDelta: currentLiquidity, amount0: BigInt(0), amount1: BigInt(0), collateralDelta: '0', slippagePercent: 1.0, }); await removeLP(); // Create new position with adjusted range const collateralAmount = '1000'; const { amount0, amount1 } = useCreateLiquidityQuoter({ marketAddress, marketAbi, marketId: BigInt(marketId), chainId, collateralAmount, lowTick, highTick, enabled: true, }); const { createLP } = useCreateLP({ marketAddress, marketAbi, chainId, marketId: BigInt(marketId), collateralAmount, lowPriceTick: lowTick, highPriceTick: highTick, amount0, amount1, slippagePercent: 1.0, }); await createLP(); } // Helper function to calculate recent volatility function calculateVolatility(priceHistory) { if (priceHistory.length < 2) return 0; const returns = []; for (let i = 1; i < priceHistory.length; i++) { returns.push(Math.log(priceHistory[i] / priceHistory[i - 1])); } const mean = returns.reduce((sum, r) => sum + r, 0) / returns.length; const variance = returns.reduce((sum, r) => sum + Math.pow(r - mean, 2), 0) / returns.length; return Math.sqrt(variance); }`` ### Risk Management Utilities[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/liquidity-provisioning-bots#risk-management-utilities) **Essential functions for managing LP positions safely:** Copy ``import { useSapienceWriteContract } from '@sapience/app/hooks/blockchain/useSapienceWriteContract'; // Monitor and close positions approaching dangerous inventory levels async function inventoryRiskManager({ positions, // Array of your LP positions with current inventory maxInventoryRisk = 0.3 // Max 30% of position value in losing tokens }) { for (const position of positions) { const { positionId, yesTokens, noTokens, currentPrice, marketAddress, marketAbi, chainId } = position; const totalTokens = yesTokens + noTokens; if (totalTokens === 0) continue; // Calculate inventory risk const yesValue = yesTokens * currentPrice; const noValue = noTokens * (1 - currentPrice); const totalValue = yesValue + noValue; // Risk is the percentage of value in the likely losing side const yesRisk = currentPrice < 0.5 ? yesValue / totalValue : 0; const noRisk = currentPrice > 0.5 ? noValue / totalValue : 0; const inventoryRisk = Math.max(yesRisk, noRisk); if (inventoryRisk > maxInventoryRisk) { console.log(`High inventory risk detected: ${inventoryRisk.toFixed(3)} > ${maxInventoryRisk}`); console.log(`Closing position ${positionId}...`); await closeLiquidityPosition({ positionId, marketAddress, marketAbi, chainId }); } } } // Close a liquidity position async function closeLiquidityPosition({ positionId, marketAddress, marketAbi, chainId }) { const { writeContract } = useSapienceWriteContract(); const deadline = BigInt(Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + 30 * 60); // 30 min deadline await writeContract({ address: marketAddress, abi: marketAbi, functionName: 'closeLiquidityPosition', args: [{ positionId: BigInt(positionId), amount0Min: BigInt(0), // Accept any amount (adjust for slippage protection) amount1Min: BigInt(0), tradeSlippage: BigInt(1e16), // 1% max slippage deadline, }], chainId, }); } // Emergency exit: close all positions async function emergencyExitAll(positions) { console.log(`Emergency exit: closing ${positions.length} positions...`); for (const position of positions) { try { await closeLiquidityPosition(position); console.log(`Closed position ${position.positionId}`); } catch (error) { console.error(`Failed to close position ${position.positionId}:`, error); } } }`` * * * Best Practices[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/liquidity-provisioning-bots#best-practices) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **Position Sizing:** * Start small while learning (10-20% of your intended size) * Scale up gradually as you understand fee patterns and inventory dynamics * Never risk more than you can afford to lose entirely **Risk Management:** * Set maximum inventory limits per position and across all positions * Monitor time to resolution—reduce exposure as settlement approaches * Use stop-losses based on unrealized P&L, not just token ratios **Fee Optimization:** * Analyze historical volume patterns to place ranges where trading activity is highest * Consider gas costs—don't create/modify positions too frequently * Track fee APY vs. inventory risk to optimize range selection **Operational:** * Always set reasonable slippage tolerances (0.5-2% depending on market conditions) * Ensure sufficient gas tokens for position management * Keep detailed logs of position performance for strategy refinement * * * Next Steps[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/liquidity-provisioning-bots#next-steps) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now that you understand liquidity provisioning strategies, you can: 1. **Combine with forecasting**: Use your forecasting agent's predictions to inform LP range placement 2. **Build hybrid strategies**: Mix LP positions with directional trading from your trading bot 3. **Create custom strategies**: Adapt these examples to your specific market views and risk tolerance 4. **Scale systematically**: Start with one strategy, measure performance, then expand The key to successful LP bot operation is starting simple, measuring everything, and iterating based on real performance data. --- # Customize Trading App – Sapience [Skip to content](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/guides/customize-trading-app#vocs-content) Search...

Makers announce an auction; takers submit bids; the relayer validates and forwards bids back to the maker. * **Maker →** `auction.start` → relayer acks with `auction.ack` and broadcasts `auction.started` * **Taker →** `bid.submit` → relayer acks with `bid.ack` and streams `auction.bids` to the maker Endpoints[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/api/auction-relayer#endpoints) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Production: `wss://api.sapience.xyz/auction` (confirm base URL) * Local (monorepo): `ws://localhost:3001/auction` Quick start[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/api/auction-relayer#quick-start) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ### Minimal Maker flow (Node)[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/api/auction-relayer#minimal-maker-flow-node) Copy `import WebSocket from 'ws'; const ws = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:3001/auction'); ws.on('open', () => { ws.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'auction.start', payload: { maker: '0xMaker123...', wager: '1000000000000000000', resolver: '0xResolver456...', predictedOutcomes: ['0xdeadbeef'] }, })); }); ws.on('message', (data) => { const msg = JSON.parse(String(data)); if (msg.type === 'auction.ack') { console.log('started auctionId=', msg.payload.auctionId); } if (msg.type === 'auction.bids') { const bids = msg.payload.bids; // choose best non-expired by takerWager (highest first) bids.sort((a, b) => BigInt(b.takerWager) - BigInt(a.takerWager) > 0n ? 1 : -1); console.log('top bid:', bids[0]); } });` ### Minimal Taker flow (Browser/Node)[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/api/auction-relayer#minimal-taker-flow-browsernode) Copy `const ws = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:3001/auction'); ws.onmessage = (ev) => { const msg = JSON.parse(String(ev.data)); if (msg.type === 'auction.started') { const auction = msg.payload; const now = Math.floor(Date.now()/1000); const bid = { type: 'bid.submit', payload: { auctionId: auction.auctionId, taker: '0xTaker789...', takerWager: (BigInt(auction.wager) / 2n).toString(), takerDeadline: now + 60, takerSignature: '0x...' // signature over typed payload (see Reference) } }; ws.send(JSON.stringify(bid)); } };` Message lifecycle[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/api/auction-relayer#message-lifecycle) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Maker sends `auction.start` with `maker`, `wager`, `resolver`, `predictedOutcomes[]`. 2. Relayer responds to the same socket with `auction.ack { auctionId }` and broadcasts `auction.started` (with the same payload plus `auctionId`) to all connected clients. 3. Takers send `bid.submit` with `auctionId`, `taker`, `takerWager`, `takerDeadline`, `takerSignature`. 4. Relayer replies to the bidding socket with `bid.ack { error? }` and streams `auction.bids { bids[] }` to the maker’s subscribed socket for that auction. * Makers are automatically subscribed to their auction’s channel upon `auction.start`. * `auction.bids` is broadcast only to subscribers of that `auctionId`. * Auctions are short-lived (about 60 seconds) and expire automatically. Validation (high level)[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/api/auction-relayer#validation-high-level) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * **Auction**: positive `wager`, ≥1 `predictedOutcomes`, valid `resolver`, valid `maker` address * **Bid**: `takerDeadline` in the future, positive `takerWager`, valid hex `takerSignature` format * Optional strict signature verification may be performed against `PredictionMarket.sol` using EIP-712 (see Reference for the typed payload and domain). Limits and closes[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/api/auction-relayer#limits-and-closes) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Rate limit: 100 messages per 10s window; violations close with code `1008` and reason `rate_limited` * Max message size: 64,000 bytes; violations close with code `1009` and reason `message_too_large` Selecting the best bid[](https://docs.sapience.xyz/builder-guide/api/auction-relayer#selecting-the-best-bid) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Relayer keeps all valid bids for the auction. The UI or maker should select the best non-expired bid, typically the highest `takerWager`.
