Resolving Markets

Guide for market issuers on how to resolve markets after maturity.

Who Can Resolve?

Only the market issuer (the address that created the market) can resolve the market. This is enforced by the smart contract.

When to Resolve

You can resolve a market only after the maturity date has passed. The market status will change from "InProgress" to "MaturityReached".

There's no deadline for resolution, but resolving promptly builds trust and allows participants to claim their winnings.

Resolution Outcomes

  • Outcome 1 (YES wins): The credit event DID occur
  • Outcome 0 (NO wins): The credit event did NOT occur

How to Resolve

  • Connect the wallet that created the market
  • Find the market in your "My Markets" section
  • Click "Resolve Market"
  • Select the outcome (YES or NO)
  • Confirm the transaction

Alternatively, use the Admin Panel that appears when you have markets ready for resolution.

After Resolution

Once resolved:

  • The market status changes to "Resolved"
  • Winning token holders can claim their ETH
  • Losing tokens become worthless
  • The resolution cannot be changed
Warning: Resolution is permanent and irreversible. Double-check the outcome before confirming.

Best Practices

  • Resolve promptly after maturity
  • Be honest - your reputation affects future markets
  • Document evidence for disputed outcomes
  • Communicate with participants if needed

Claiming as Issuer

If NO wins (event didn't occur), you can claim your NO token rewards:

  • Go to your Portfolio
  • Find your NO token position
  • Click "Claim" to receive your ETH
