Reputation & Rewards
Why Earn Reputation on BigMarket?
BigMarket isn't just another prediction market — it's a project that rewards utility, not hype.
Every time you engage — by staking on markets, contributing to governance, or just showing up early with signal — you earn reputation tokens. These aren’t fluff points. They're claimable for a share of the DAO's monthly BIG token distribution.
How it works: Each month, the DAO releases a fixed pool of 10,000 BIG. That pool gets distributed to wallets based on how much reputation they’ve earned. No insider allocations, no favouritism — just pure, on-chain participation.
What’s the Point of BIG?
BIG is the project's utility token. You can think of it as your on-chain stake in how the system evolves:
Participate in governance
Propose or moderate markets
Earn more reputation, and more BIG
It’s a feedback loop: contribute, earn rep, claim BIG, use BIG to deepen your influence.
How the BIG Reward Protocol Works
Fair. Finite. Self Funding.
BigMarket rewards participants with BIG tokens based on how much reputation they earn through actual engagement — staking, predicting, building, governing. But unlike many projects that inflate endlessly to drive participation, BigMarket takes a different route: the reward system is capped, transparent, and designed to sustain itself.
1. Capped Initial Allocation: 1.5% of Supply
At launch, the DAO mints 1.5% of the total BIG supply (150,000 BIG) into a dedicated treasury vault.
This treasury is the sole source of BIG rewards. Every month, a portion of that pool (e.g. 5,000–10,000 BIG) is distributed to wallets that hold reputation tokens. The size of your claim is proportional to your rep — earned by verifiable, on-chain participation.
No ongoing minting. No hidden emissions. Just a fixed pot.
2. Sustainable by Design
Our reward system don't solely rely on this 1.5% mint - to keep things moving we also swap fees earned from market winners back into BIG
The more active the markets, the more sustainable the rewards.
3. Deflation-Resistant
Rewards are funded by a fixed allocation + DAO earnings, there’s no inflation pressure baked into the system. This preserves BIG’s value as a utility and governance token — not just a faucet token you dump.
And because only the DAO (or its extensions) can transfer from the treasury, there's full transparency and on-chain accountability for how rewards are handled.
Most “reward” systems are really just slow-motion inflation. BigMarket flips the script:
You earn reputation by doing something useful
You claim BIG from a fixed pot
The system replenishes itself through actual market activity
And the DAO controls the levers at every stage
No hype. No tricks. Just aligned incentives, on-chain rules, and a system designed to last.
Earning Reputation (and Why It’s Tiered)
Stake early or accurately? You get rewarded.
Launch quality markets? That earns you more.
Contribute to governance or dev efforts? That counts too.
As your reputation grows, you unlock more privileges — from governance access to moderation powers.
A Note on Fairness
Yes, early users have an advantage. That’s true in almost every system. But BigMarket is DAO-governed, and we’ve thought about long-term fairness.
Reputation can decay if you're inactive. That means consistent contributors stay relevant — and wallets that just farm once and disappear won't soak up rewards forever.
