Thinking about launching a prediction challenge on Polymarket. The key question: what's the right starting stake that attracts genuine participants without being too ambitious? You want enough skin in the game to make it interesting, but accessible enough that people actually engage with what you're building. Finding that sweet spot—balancing credibility with inclusivity—is crucial when you're testing market mechanics on a decentralized prediction platform.

ngl, the whole "sweet spot" framing is just avoiding the real incentive problem here. empirically speaking, participation curves in prediction markets follow power laws—your stake threshold basically determines who shows up, and most projects get this backwards. the data suggests you need to run actual simulations first, not guess at what feels "accessible"

Polymarket's betting setup is indeed tricky; too high and no one plays, too low and no one cares

Starting with 1000 or 100, this is really an art question

Polymarket opening price is essentially a psychological issue. If it's too low, no one takes it seriously; if it's too high, no one dares to play. My suggestion is to first consider what kind of people you want to attract.

Forget it, setting the stakes too low is self-deception, while setting them too high leaves no one to play with you. You'll never find that perfect balance.

When it's too low, no one pays attention; when it's too high, no one plays. Finding the right balance is indeed difficult.
