Market Search Guide

Market Search lets you browse curated feeds, drill into categories, or search by keyword in Telegram or the Mini App.

Open Browse Markets or run /search in Telegram. In the Mini App, open Trade or search.

📊 Browse modes

📊 Volume

Most active markets by 24h trading volume. High volume = high liquidity, tighter spreads, and broad market attention. Start here when you want something liquid and actively watched.

🔥 Trending

Markets with rising activity — not the highest volume, but gaining momentum. Useful for catching markets heating up before peak volume, often around breaking news or upcoming events.

✨ New

Recently created markets. Can offer early-mover opportunities before the crowd fully prices them in, but tend to have thinner liquidity.

🗂️ Category

Browse by topic: Politics, Sports, Crypto, Culture, Tech, Finance, Economics. Sports and Crypto have drillable subcategories (e.g., basketball, soccer, bitcoin, ethereum). Sorted by liquidity within each vertical.

🎰 Up or Down

Short-duration crypto prediction markets ("will BTC be up or down in 5 minutes?"). Pick ⚡ 5 Minutes or ⏱️ 15 Minutes and browse active markets. Pairs well with Trading Strategies.

🔴 Live

Markets currently in play — resolution window open, trading active. For when you want to act on something happening right now.

🔍 Free-text search

Just type what you're looking for:

• bitcoin etf
• election polls
• nba playoffs

Fastest path when you already know what you want to trade.
