Stake Caps & Anti-Whale
Stake Caps & Anti-Whale
Per-Market Stake Cap
Every account is subject to a per-market stake cap. A whale with 500,000 HIVE has the same maximum exposure as someone with 200 HIVE. This prevents any single user from dominating a market’s outcome.
Anti-Whale Design
The stake cap is a core design principle of HivePredict. Combined with eligibility requirements (minimum account age, reputation, and posting history), it mitigates sybil attacks and ensures fairer markets.
Eligibility Requirements
Minimum account age
90 days
Minimum reputation
25
Minimum posts
5
These thresholds prevent throwaway accounts from being used to circumvent stake caps or manipulate markets.
