Catalyst is a prediction market trading challenge. You pay a one-time fee to trade a simulated account balance using live Polymarket market data, and earn a cash payout by passing the challenge. Choose from three account sizes, each with its own entry fee, balance, and payout.
The account balance is simulated. The markets, prices, and outcomes are real.
Here's how it works
Pick an account size and pay a one-time fee to begin. There is no subscription or monthly recurring charges.
Trade real Polymarket events across politics, crypto, sports, economics, and more
Complete 15 qualifying trades, without hitting the trailing max loss
Pass the challenge and your full payout is automatically added to your Catalyst wallet in one deposit
Withdraw your payout anytime
The account sizes
You need 15 qualifying trades to pass the challenge. You have 30 days to pass the challenge. A trailing max loss applies throughout, specific to your account size. Pass the challenge and your payout is deposited instantly to your Catalyst wallet, and you can withdraw immediately.
Account | Entry | Account size | Payout |
Starter | $10 | $1,000 | $100 |
Pro | $59 | $7,500 | $750 |
Elite | $109 | $15,000 | $1,500 |

Am I trading with real capital?
