What would be the approximate incentive in USD for opening a market? Would this be variable? Would the funds be created as inflation or from a treasury?

[@SAXEMBERG](/user/SAXEMBERG) The USD incentive will depend on three factors:
1. Total market volume over the lifetime of the market
2. Market creator fee (percentage) per trade
3. ZTG/USD value

The market creator has a direct influence on how much rewards he gains by attracting traders and liquidity providers to his markets, since the rewards depend on the fees (percentage) charged per trade.

The linked document describes all of that in more detail.

Currently the creation of markets is not incentivized. The only motivations at this point are enthusiasm and curiosity about the approximate likelihood of future outcomes.

The document at https://hackmd.io/@lZVVinJVS6WI4IpRgmbsLA/H17iRm6Kn proposes the necessary steps that have to be taken to make market creation more attractive and provide a reason for market creators to attract traders and liquidity providers.
