Polymarket users paid about $118.9 million in fees during the 30 days to November 3, 2026, according to Dexsheet, citing DefiLlama data.
The reported total puts transaction costs in focus for prediction-market participants, though the fee structure varies by market category.
How the charges differ
According to Dexsheet, taker fees reach their highest level at 50-cent prices. At that price, they range from 2 percent to 3.5 percent of trade value, depending on the market category.
Geopolitics markets carry no trading fees. On Polymarket’s international platform, there are also no settlement, deposit or withdrawal fees, according to Dexsheet.
What it means for prediction markets
- Category affects costs: The reported taker-fee structure means participants can face different charges across market categories, while geopolitics markets are fee-free.
- Price matters: Taker fees peak at 50-cent prices, making the contract price relevant to the cost of a transaction.
- The total has limits: The supplied figures do not include a comparison period or trading-volume breakdown, so they do not establish whether fees are rising or which categories generated the most charges.
