Market Resolution and Disputes
What happens when the event ends?
Resolution Principles
Every market is governed by a strict set of rules to ensure there is no confusion when it ends:
Each event has a defined criterion that explains exactly what must happen for a specific outcome.
The method of measurement is clearly defined, including the source, timestamp, and calculation rules.
There is a defined process for finality that determines exactly when the outcome is locked.
Common States
You can track your trade’s journey through these five stages:
Open: The market is live. You are free to buy or sell positions as news breaks.
Expired: The clock has run out. Trading is paused while we wait for the real-world event to conclude.
Resolving: Our system is currently pulling data from official sources to calculate the final result.
Resolved: The official outcome is now public. At this stage, winners are identified.
Finalized: The process is complete. Payouts are safely delivered to your balance, and all possible disputes are closed.
