📈 Anki Markets – Earn Tokens for Reviews, Trade Real Events, Leaderboard, Shop

Turn your Anki reviews into a game.
Every review earns tokens. Spend them in the shop on themes and looks for your Anki and your profile, trade them on real-world events (elections, sports, crypto, tech and more), and climb the leaderboard against everyone, or against your friends.

It's free, and tokens are play money: no real money, ever.

The Shop

• Full themes: one purchase restyles all of Anki at once: the deck card, the goal bar, the deck list background, the answer buttons, the due counts, the celebration, the review-screen HUD and the toolbar. Obsidian Reserve, Royal Gold, Aurora, Neon Tokyo, Arctic Platinum, Sakura and more. Mix the pieces afterwards if you like.
• Piece by piece: card skins, progress bars, backgrounds (behind your decks and behind your cards while you review), answer button styles, due count colors, celebrations, sounds, toolbar and HUD styles, and card widgets (rival tracker, net worth chart, streak calendar, exam countdown, whale watch and more).
• Your profile: name styles, avatar frames, titles, nameplates (a colored plate behind your chat messages and your leaderboard row), profile backgrounds, banners, rarer avatars and chat stickers. Plus a photo, a display name and a bio.
• Limited editions: numbered and gone for good once they sell out. Weekly drops in a new colorway every Monday, seasonal items, the Black Label line (ten of each, across every slot), and trophies made once or a handful of times. New things keep arriving on a schedule, with no add-on update needed.

Earn Tokens for Real Studying

• Harder cards pay more: each review earns 6 to 20 tokens, based on the card's ease (or FSRS difficulty) and how often you've forgotten it. An average card pays 10.
• Daily goal bonus: 50 reviews, or finishing every due card, adds a bonus that grows with your streak. Streak freezes protect it on days you miss.
• No daily limit: every review that counts earns, however much you study.
• Phone reviews count: AnkiMobile and AnkiDroid reviews count once they sync to a computer with the add-on.
• On your deck list: a slim bar with today's progress and your tokens. Open the full card (level, rank, streak) or hide it in one click.

Trade on Real-World Events

• Live market prices: buy Yes or No on anything. If you're right, each share pays 1 token.
• Sell any time at the current price, or hold until the result is in.
• Paid automatically as soon as the market settles.
• New markets every day: politics, sports, crypto, tech and AI, culture, the economy and science.

Something New Every Day

• Boosted odds: one market a day pays 50% more at settlement, on up to 5,000 tokens per player (no hedging it from both sides). It's in the Markets panel in Anki too.
• Weekly challenges: six goals each week (reviews, goal days, cleared decks, study time, trades and wins), plus a Perfect Week bonus.
• Weekly exclusive badges: every week has its own one-of-a-kind badge and challenge. Earn it that week or it's gone for good.
• Levels with rewards: everything you do earns XP. Each tier (Apprentice, Scholar, Analyst, Strategist, Expert, Master, Oracle, Legend) pays tokens and unlocks shop items, and your level shows next to your name.
• Pop-ups and celebrations in Anki when you hit your goal, finish a challenge, earn a badge or a bet pays out. Off by default: turn on Show Token Pop-ups in the Anki Markets menu if you want them.

Compete With Friends

• Leaderboards: net worth, trading skill, studying this week, profit this week and streaks.
• Private leagues: make one for your class or study group and share the code.
• Weekly races: the top 10 studiers and traders each week earn badges.
• Chat: a chat rail on the site, with your stickers and your nameplate, automatic moderation, and the number of players online.

Getting Started

• Install the add-on and restart Anki.
• Join: open the Anki Markets menu at the top of Anki and choose Join Anki Markets... Pick a name and an avatar. You start with 1,000 tokens.
• Study the way you always do. Tokens arrive as you review.
• Trade: click Markets in Anki's top bar for your tokens, today's progress, your positions and live games. Click any of them, or Open Markets, and the whole site opens in its own Anki window, already signed in. Click Markets again to tuck the panel away.

Fair Play

• Only real studying earns. Answers faster than 0.8 seconds, more than 3 answers to the same card in a day, and near-empty or auto-generated cards don't count.
• Reviews from before you joined don't count. Phone reviews count once they sync, within 3 days.

Privacy

The add-on sends only daily numbers: how many reviews you did and how many counted, a difficulty score for them, total study time, how many cards are still due, your time zone, the hour your Anki day starts, the add-on's version, and whether you're reviewing or on the deck list (for the online count). Never your cards or AnkiWeb account, no deck names unless you turn deck sharing on, and no email is needed. Full details: mcat.bet/privacy

Play tokens only. Tokens can't be bought, sold, withdrawn or exchanged for anything. Prices and results come from Polymarket's public data. Anki Markets isn't affiliated with Polymarket.
