Purpose

Knewit helps people discover prediction markets, understand market prices, manage positions, and share their views with a community. Market discovery, wallet and portfolio information, and social discussion are organized in one application.

Product principles

• Market discovery: browse markets and current categories supplied by the market data provider.
• Position-backed discussion: a Callout must reference a position held by its author.
• Unified portfolio: view wallet balance, open positions, and estimated unrealized P/L together.
• Social layer: follow Knewit accounts, react to Callouts, and join their comment threads.
• Account access: sign in through configured identity providers.

Product areas

What you will see in a market

Knewit helps you read and discuss market information. It does not tell you what outcome to choose. Take time to read the question, the resolution rules, and the information shown before you act.

Sign-in flow

• Open the Knewit landing page and choose the web app entry point.
• Choose an available sign-in provider.
• After authentication, allow the app to complete embedded-wallet and trading authorization setup.
• When setup finishes, the app continues to Callouts automatically. If the wallet is still provisioning, keep the app open briefly; if it remains stuck, retry the session and contact support with the displayed error code.
• The app opens the Callouts feed; use the navigation to move between markets, wallet, activity, leaderboard, profile, and settings.

Knewit is available as a mobile app and as a responsive web application, so you can use the same account across supported devices. For public iOS and Android release information, open the Download page. It shows the current App Store and Google Play status, while the web app remains available from a supported mobile or desktop browser.

Choose the right access mode

If wallet setup is still in progress, keep Knewit open briefly. If it does not finish, restart the session and use any safe error code shown by the app when seeking support. Never share passwords, recovery phrases, private keys, or one-time codes.

Find and review a market

• Open Markets or use global search, which can return both markets and Knewit people.
• Browse Trending or a category supplied by the current market taxonomy.
• Open a market and read its full question, outcomes, prices, activity, and resolution rules when available.
• Confirm the market is open and the selected outcome is tradeable before beginning an order.

Prices are denominated in cents and may also be presented as a market-implied probability. A price near 60¢ is approximately a 60% implied probability, not a guarantee or objective forecast. Prices move with market activity; liquidity and order size affect execution.

Before choosing an outcome

• Read the wording carefully. Small details such as a date, threshold, location, or source can change what the market resolves to.
• Review every available outcome so you understand the alternatives.
• Check the current price and the estimate for your selected amount. A displayed price can change before an order executes.
• Use only funds and positions you understand. Market prices can move quickly and the value of a position can decrease.

Place or sell a position

• Select a tradeable outcome and enter an amount.
• Review the order-book estimate, selected outcome, amount, estimated shares, and price.
• Confirm through the wallet flow and wait for a provider result before treating the order as complete.
• In Wallet, review entry price, current price when available, size, and estimated unrealized P/L.
• Selling submits everything you hold in that outcome for market execution; final fill and proceeds can differ from an estimate. Proceeds stay in your trading balance (pUSD) for another trade or withdrawal.
• When a market resolves in your favour, the position shows Redeem instead of Sell. Redeeming turns the winning shares into trading balance.

Do not assume an order filled until Knewit and the connected provider report its status.

After you submit

Submission is not the same as completion. Wait for the status shown by Knewit and the connected service. When a position is visible in Wallet, review its outcome, size, entry price, and current value. Estimated P/L is informational and can change with market price; it is not a promise of the amount you will receive.

Publish a Callout and join a discussion

• Sign in and open the Callout composer.
• Write a message of up to 280 characters.
• Attach a position you hold; publishing remains disabled until a valid position is selected.
• Review the attached market and outcome, then publish.
• Open a Callout to like it, comment, reply, and visit its author’s profile.

An attached position supplies context; it is not independent verification, a promise of performance, or financial advice. A position may change or close after publication.

Write useful Callouts

• State the idea or evidence behind your view in clear language.
• Use the attached market and outcome to give readers the context they need.
• Remember that a Callout remains a personal view, even when it is backed by a position.
• Keep discussion constructive. Open the Callout to reply, visit the author’s profile, or add a comment to the thread.

Fund your wallet

Select Deposit from Wallet, Settings, or the app header. Pick a Token and a Chain from the two dropdowns each chain lists its minimum deposit then send exactly that token on that chain to the address shown (copy it or scan the QR code). Deposits go through Polymarket’s bridge and arrive as pUSD, your trading balance, usually within a minute or two.

• Open Wallet, Settings, or use Deposit in the app header.
• Choose the Token and Chain you will send from, and check the minimum for that chain.
• Send from your exchange or wallet to the deposit address shown, on the same chain.
• Keep the sheet open to follow the status, or close it; your balance updates when the deposit completes.

Sending a different token, using a different chain, or sending less than the minimum can mean the deposit is not processed. Bridge costs are taken from the deposited amount.

Withdraw funds

Withdraw uses the same Token and Chain pickers. Enter the recipient address on that chain and an amount in USD; Knewit shows what the recipient should receive and the route cost before you confirm. Review the full address and chain Knewit can check an address’s format, but not who owns it. Transfers are public and irreversible.

Search, profiles, and following

Profile usernames must be unique and are separate from display names. Search combines Knewit people with Polymarket markets. Following Knewit accounts affects the Following feed; it does not subscribe to or copy Polymarket wallet activity. Recent searches are session-scoped, not a permanent search history.

• Use Search when you know the market question or person you are looking for.
• Open a profile to see public information, Callouts, activity, followers, and following.
• Follow an account to include its Callouts in the Following feed.
• Open Activity to return to related markets, Callouts, or people you have interacted with.

Start with the question

The market question is the source of truth for what is being discussed. Read the whole sentence before looking at a price. Pay attention to the date, location, threshold, named person or organization, and any condition in the wording. A market can sound familiar while asking a more specific question than expected.

Review the outcomes

Outcomes are the possible answers offered by the market. Select an outcome only after you understand how it relates to every other option. The displayed price reflects current market activity and may move before an order completes. It is useful context for a decision, but it does not promise a future result.

Check the resolution rules

• Find the rule or source used to determine the outcome, when it is available on the market.
• Check whether the market is still open and whether the selected outcome is tradeable.
• Review the current activity and price without assuming that recent movement will continue.
• Return to the full market detail whenever a card or search result does not give enough context.

Choose an amount

After selecting a tradeable outcome, enter the amount you want to use. Knewit shows an estimate based on the information available at that time. Review the amount, selected outcome, estimated shares, and price before continuing. Estimates help you understand an order; the final result can differ when the market moves or when there is limited trading interest at that price.

Review and confirm

• Confirm that the market question and outcome match the view you intend to express.
• Check the amount against your available trading balance.
• Read the estimate and any confirmation details before authorizing the action.
• Wait for the displayed status to update. Do not repeat the order while it is pending.

What happens next

A successful confirmation sends the order for processing. Knewit can show submitted, pending, confirmed, or failed information when it is available. If an order does not complete, use the status shown by Knewit and the connected service to decide what to do next.

Use Wallet to review open positions

Each open position can show the market, outcome, size, entry price, current price when available, and estimated unrealized P/L. These values are designed to help you understand your current exposure. They can change with the market and should not be treated as a final settlement amount.

Selling a position

Open the relevant position and use the sell action where it is available. Selling closes everything you hold in that outcome. Review the market, outcome, and estimate before confirming. A sell order is still subject to market execution, so the final fill and proceeds can differ from the initial estimate. Proceeds remain in the trading balance for another eligible action or withdrawal.

When a market resolves

A market resolves according to its stated rules and source. A resolved market is no longer a normal open trading decision. If your outcome won, the position shows a Redeem action: redeeming turns the winning shares into trading balance. Losing positions are worth nothing and disappear from the portfolio. Positions, prices and P/L are read from Polymarket, so they also reflect activity made outside Knewit.

What makes a Callout different

A Callout connects a short public view to a position held by its author. The attached market and outcome help readers see the context behind the post. It does not prove that a view is correct, and it does not guarantee that a position remains open after publication.

Publish step by step

• Open the Callout composer after signing in.
• Write a clear message of up to 280 characters.
• Select a valid position you hold. Publishing remains unavailable until a position is attached.
• Read the attached market and outcome one more time, then publish.

Write for other readers

Explain the observation, question, or reasoning behind your view in language another person can understand. Avoid presenting a market price, a past result, or a Callout as financial advice. Readers can open the attached market, comment, and decide what they think independently.

Participate in discussion

Open a Callout to like it, comment, reply to another comment, or visit its author’s profile. Comments and replies keep the conversation connected to the original view. Use them to add context, ask a question, or share a considered response.

Follow people and read feeds

• The Trending feed helps you discover active Callouts.
• The Following feed shows Callouts from Knewit accounts you follow.
• Following affects Knewit’s social experience only. It does not copy, track, or subscribe to another person’s market activity.
• Use a public profile to review someone’s Callouts, activity, followers, and following before deciding whether to follow them.

Your public profile

Your username is unique and separate from your display name. Review profile edits carefully because public profile information can be seen by other Knewit users. You can use Settings to update supported profile details and Activity to revisit actions connected to your account.

Before you begin

Confirm that you are signed in and your wallet setup is ready. Deposits use Polymarket’s bridge: every token and chain it supports is listed in the Deposit pickers, together with its minimum. Everything you send is converted and credited as pUSD, Polymarket’s trading balance.

Deposit step by step

• Open Wallet or Settings, or choose Deposit from the app header.
• Choose the Token you hold and the Chain you will send it on. The Chain list shows each minimum.
• Copy the deposit address (or scan the QR code) and send the token from your exchange or wallet.
• Wait for the status to change from “Deposit detected” to “Deposit added to your balance”.

Only send the token and chain you selected, and at least the minimum. Bridge costs come out of the deposit. If a deposit fails or you sent the wrong token, contact support with the transaction hash Polymarket provides a recovery process for some mistakes, but recovery is not guaranteed.

Check the destination first

A withdrawal sends your trading balance through Polymarket’s bridge and delivers the Token and Chain you choose to the address you enter. Review every character of the address and the chain before confirming. An address can be valid in format without belonging to the person you intended to pay.

Confirm the transfer

• Open Withdraw from Wallet, Settings, or the app header.
• Choose the Token and Chain to receive; the Chain list shows the minimum.
• Enter the recipient address on that chain and the amount in USD.
• Check “You receive” and the route cost, review, then confirm.
• Wait until the status shows the funds were delivered before considering the transfer complete.

A blockchain transfer is public and irreversible. Never withdraw to an address you do not understand or have not verified. If a transfer is pending, keep the transaction reference and wait for the final status rather than submitting the same transfer again.

Search

Global search can return both Knewit people and prediction markets. Use a distinctive word from a market question or a username to narrow the result. Recent searches help with the current session and are not a permanent history of everything you searched for.

Activity

Activity brings related account actions into one place. Open an item from Activity to return to its market, Callout, comment, or profile. Use it as a way to retrace a recent action when you need more context.

Leaderboard

The Leaderboard is a read-only view of Polymarket’s global all-time volume ranking. Rows represent Polymarket traders rather than Knewit profiles, so the page does not provide Knewit follow actions or a personal profit-and-loss ranking.

Knewit features may depend on your account, location, wallet status, and connected service availability.

Before you act

• Market prices, P/L, and balances can change and depend on data freshness and service availability.
• Only treat an order, deposit, or withdrawal as complete after Knewit and the connected service show a confirmed status.

Understanding your account views

The same action can appear in more than one place. Wallet focuses on balances and positions. Activity shows recent actions connected to your account. Your Profile presents the public side of your Knewit identity. Use the view that matches the question you are trying to answer, then open a related item for its full details.

A safe way to troubleshoot

• Check the visible status first: pending, confirmed, cancelled, or failed.
• Refresh the relevant Knewit view after a confirmed action, rather than repeating it immediately.
• For a payment or transfer, check the provider’s own status and any transaction reference before trying again.
• If you contact support, include the platform, approximate time, the action you were taking, and any safe error code shown by Knewit.

Deposit troubleshooting

Support diagnostics should include platform (web/mobile), approximate time, the token and chain used, the transaction hash, app version, and the safe error code shown by Knewit. Do not send passwords, one-time codes, private keys, recovery phrases, full payment-card details, or unredacted identity documents.

When a market or Callout is unavailable

Markets can close, resolve, or stop accepting new orders. A Callout or profile can also become unavailable if the related content no longer exists or cannot be loaded. Return to the previous screen, refresh once, and search again. If the issue remains, record the title or link of the item before contacting support.
