Using Hilo

Learn how to vote, create markets, and interact on the platform

This guide explains how to use Hilo’s core features, including voting, creating markets, commenting, and tracking your rewards.


How to Vote

Voting is how you share your prediction on a market.

You can vote in two ways:

  • From the market card (outside the market)

  • From inside the market page

Both methods work the same way.


Voting Rules

When you cast a vote:

  • A short cancellation timer starts

  • During this time, you can cancel your vote if you misclicked or changed your mind

  • To cancel, click the X button

  • Once the timer ends, your vote becomes final

  • After that, you cannot change it

This system prevents accidental voting while keeping outcomes stable.


Single-Vote vs Multi-Vote Markets

Not all markets work the same way.

Some markets:

  • Allow only one vote

Others:

  • Allow multiple votes

Each market clearly shows what type it is before you vote.


How to Create a Market

Creating a market lets you add new questions and scenarios for the community.

You can start by:

  • Clicking the + button on the homepage

  • Or clicking the + button on your profile


Market Creation Steps

When creating a market, you will:

  1. Choose the market type:

    • Event Market

    • Opinion Market

  2. Define the question

  3. Add possible outcomes

  4. Set the rules and structure

  5. Review and publish


Important Guidelines

To avoid penalties or deletion:

  • Make sure your market is legitimate

  • Ensure it is clear and well-defined

  • Avoid misleading or abusive content

  • Follow community guidelines

Low-quality or manipulative markets may be removed.


Commenting & Interaction

You can interact with other users by:

  • Commenting on markets

  • Discussing predictions

  • Sharing insights

  • Asking questions

Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.


Tracking Your Rewards

You can track your progress and rewards from the Rewards Page.

There, you can see:

  • XP gains

  • Level progress

  • Badges

  • Completed quests

  • Active challenges

This helps you understand how your activity is being rewarded.
