Challenging

See a wrong outcome proposed? Challenge it.


Requirements

  • Active proposal exists

  • Within the 24-hour challenge window

  • 10 USDC for the challenge bond


How to Challenge

  1. Go to the market page

  2. See the current proposal

  3. Click Challenge

  4. Confirm the 10 USDC bond

  5. Submit transaction

Your challenge:

  • Flips the proposed outcome (YES → NO, or NO → YES)

  • Starts a new 24-hour window

  • Puts your outcome as the active proposal


What Happens After

If nobody counter-challenges:

  • Your outcome is finalized

  • You get your 10 USDC back

  • You also get the original proposer's 5 USDC

If someone counter-challenges:

  • Another round begins

  • You lose your bond if the final outcome isn't yours


Escalating Bonds

Each round, bonds increase:

Round
Proposal Bond
Challenge Bond

1

5 USDC

10 USDC

2

10 USDC

20 USDC

3

20 USDC

40 USDC

This prevents infinite griefing. Eventually, someone has to be right or walk away.


Timeout

If 7 days pass with unresolved challenges, the market is voided.

All positions are refunded. No winners or losers.


When to Challenge

Challenge when:

  • The proposed outcome is objectively wrong

  • You can verify the correct answer from the resolution source

  • You're willing to put up the bond

Don't challenge just to delay. You'll lose money.
