Polymarket Times: Users Can Now Offer Their Own Rewards for Prediction Market Content
A new community platform is paying $1000+ bounties for videos, articles, and tools—democratizing how prediction market content gets created and rewarded.
The Rise of Community-Funded Prediction Market Media
While Polymarket has its own liquidity incentive program for market makers, a parallel ecosystem is emerging where community members can offer their own rewards for content creation.
Polymarket Times, founded by @ankitkr0, launched this week with a bold mission: become "the front page of the future" for prediction market news and analysis. But what's getting attention isn't just the platform—it's the bounty system.
🎬 Current Active Bounty
- Prize: $1,000 USDC
- Task: Create an explainer video about Polymarket Times
- Platform: First Dollar
- Bonus: Quality submissions that don't win still receive $TIMES tokens
How the Bounty System Works
The bounties are hosted on First Dollar (app.firstdollar.money), a platform for crypto-native bounty campaigns. Here's the process:
- Browse bounties — Visit the Polymarket Times company page on First Dollar
- Create content — Videos, articles, or tools depending on the bounty
- Submit — Upload your work before the deadline
- Get paid — Winners receive USDC; quality runners-up get $TIMES tokens
The $TIMES Token: Early Builder Rewards
Beyond cash bounties, Polymarket Times is distributing its native $TIMES token to early contributors. According to founder @ankitkr0:
"1% of $TIMES supply is allocated for builder contributions. I'm valuing it at $3k now with a $300k tomorrow claim."
This "early builder bounty play" is common in crypto—rewarding early contributors with tokens that could appreciate significantly if the platform gains traction.
Why This Matters for Prediction Markets
With Polymarket doing $832M+ in weekly volume, there's massive attention on the prediction market space. But content creation has been fragmented:
- Random Twitter threads get engagement but no compensation
- YouTube explainers are rare and often outdated
- No central hub for prediction market news
Polymarket Times aims to solve this by aligning incentives—creators get paid, and the ecosystem gets quality content.
Tools Being Built
The team is also using OpenClaw to accelerate product development. This AI-powered development approach suggests Polymarket Times may expand beyond content into trading tools and analytics.
Day 0 updates from the team include:
- Token page added to the site
- $1,000 video bounty launched
- $12,000+ already claimed on Noice (another bounty platform)
- OpenClaw integration for rapid development
How to Get Involved
Quick Start
- 1. Follow @ankitkr0 on X for bounty announcements

The Bottom Line
Polymarket Times represents a new model: community-funded media for prediction markets. Instead of relying on ad revenue or platform subsidies, content creators can earn directly from bounties—and early contributors may benefit from token appreciation.
Whether you're a video creator, writer, or developer, there's now a way to get paid for contributing to the prediction market ecosystem.
