Limitless review
Limitless is an onchain prediction market on Base, known for hourly and daily crypto and stock price markets. It is NOT open to US traders: we cover it for context and for readers elsewhere, not as a US option.
Pros
- Hourly, daily and weekly markets on crypto prices, stocks and macro events, plus some sports and esports
- No maker fees, and a daily USDC rewards programme for market makers
- Fully onchain on Base, settled in USDC, with a transparent order book
- Backed by a $10 million seed round including Coinbase Ventures (October 2025)
Cons
- NOT available to US traders, or to traders in Ontario and Alberta
- Not regulated as an exchange; its US affiliate's CFTC application is still pending
- Published audits cover the upstream Polymarket contracts it forked, not Limitless's own changes
- Taker fee is dynamic (0.40% to 3.00% on buys) and not published as a formula
Read this first
Limitless is not available to traders in the United States. Its terms of service, updated September 15, 2026, say trading is not available to users from the United States, China, or the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Alberta. If you’re in the US, it isn’t an option, and it doesn’t appear in our US ranking. For US-legal platforms, see our ranking of the best prediction market sites or Polymarket alternatives.
What it is
Limitless is a prediction market built on Base, Coinbase’s Ethereum layer-2 network. You trade with USDC from a self-custody wallet. Its markets are mostly short-dated: hourly, daily and weekly questions on crypto prices, stocks and macro events, with some sports and esports markets too.

The US angle
In 2026 an affiliate, Limitless Markets US, LLC, applied to the CFTC to become a designated contract market, and the CFTC lists that application as pending. Until it’s approved and launched, US traders can’t legally use Limitless. We’ll update this review if that changes.
The trade-offs
For eligible traders, Limitless offers fast, cheap, transparent markets with no maker fees. But it’s unregulated, its own code changes aren’t covered by a published audit, and its taker fee curve isn’t published as a formula. Treat it as an early-stage, crypto-native venue.
Score reflects our methodology. Eligibility is set by Limitless’s own terms. Not financial or betting advice.
