Making your 1st trade
Your first trade on Maiga Markets is designed to be simple — even if you’ve never used DeFi or a prediction market before. You’ll pick a market, choose a side (YES/NO or Higher/Lower), enter an amount, and confirm after seeing a clear payout preview.
Step 1 — Deposit (USDT on BNB Chain)
Go to Wallet → Deposit
Select USDT (BEP-20)
Copy your deposit address
Send USDT using BNB Chain (BEP-20) from your wallet or exchange
Only send USDT (BEP-20). Sending USDT from another network (ERC-20 / TRC-20) may result in lost funds.
Step 2 — Pick a Market
Go to Markets and choose something simple for your first try, like:
BTC 15-min Close: Higher or Lower
You’ll always see:
The market available
Expiry time
Current odds and payout preview
Step 3 — Choose Your Side
For most markets you’ll choose either:
YES / NO, or
HIGHER / LOWER
Example market:
“Will BTC close higher in the next 15 minutes?”
HIGHER means BTC’s close at expiry is higher than the reference price shown.
LOWER means BTC’s close at expiry is lower (or lower/equal depending on the rule).
Some markets treat “exactly equal” as LOWER. Others may refund. The market Rules will state this.
Step 4 — Enter Stake Amount
Type how much you want to stake (e.g., 10 USD$, 20 USD$, 50 USD$).
Before confirming, you will see:
Your stake
Your chosen side
Your odds
Your potential payout if you win
Start small (like 10–20 USD$) just to understand how prediction market works.
Step 5 — Confirm Your Trade
Once you confirm:
Your position is placed immediately
You can track it in Dashboard
The market will settle automatically at expiry
Step 6 — Settlement & Payout
At expiry, Maiga resolves the market using the listed data sources (e.g., Binance live feed API and/or Chainlink Data Streams).
If you win → payout is credited to your balance
If you lose → your stake is not returned
If there’s a dispute caused by data quality issues for that specific market, Maiga will refund all bettors in that market.
Mini Case Study (Alice’s First Trade)
Alice is new to prediction markets. She:
deposits 50 USDT (BEP-20) on BNB Chain
opens BTC 15-min Close: Higher/Lower
chooses HIGHER because BTC looks strong
sees the payout preview and confirms
15 minutes later, BTC closes higher → Alice wins and her payout is credited automatically.
