Chart Creator Arbitrage on Catapult — Passive Income Strategy

When you create a chart on Catapult, you earn 0.5% of all trading volume on that chart — forever. This is not a one-time bonus. Every session traded on your chart, by any user, generates a creator fee paid to you. A single popular chart can produce ongoing passive income that compounds over years.

Think of yourself as the casino floor designer, not the gambler. You are creating the game, not just playing it. The gamblers come to your table and pay a small percentage of every bet to the house — which in this case is you.

What makes a chart attract volume Three parameters matter most: session length, leverage cap, and initial price. 15-minute sessions are historically the most popular — they offer enough time to feel like a real trade without the commitment of a multi-hour session. A leverage cap of 10–25x attracts active traders who want meaningful exposure. An initial price in the $10–$100 range feels accessible to most retail participants.

The compounding math: a chart generating $10,000 in daily volume earns you $50 per day, or roughly $18,000 per year, from that single chart. If you create 10 such charts, you are earning $180,000 per year passively. This is why chart creation is the highest-leverage activity on the platform.

How to launch a new chart: study which existing charts have the highest volume. Note their parameters. Create similar charts with slight variations — different session lengths, slightly different leverage caps. A/B test what performs. Charts that attract volume tend to continue attracting volume due to network effects: more trades means more chart history, which attracts more traders who want to study the pattern.

Promotion matters. Share your chart links in communities. Every user who trades your chart generates creator fees. The more you distribute your chart links, the more passive income you generate.

Risk: you do not risk capital by creating a chart. The creator fee is paid by the platform from trading volume, not from traders’ losses. This makes chart creation a genuinely risk-free passive income stream once the chart is created.
