Proposing Outcomes

After a market's deadline, anyone can propose the outcome.


Requirements

  • Market deadline has passed

  • No outcome currently proposed

  • 5 USDC for the proposal bond


How to Propose

  1. Go to the market page

  2. Click Propose Outcome

  3. Select YES or NO

  4. Confirm the 5 USDC bond

  5. Submit transaction


What Happens Next

Your proposal starts a 24-hour challenge window.

If nobody challenges:

  • Outcome is finalized

  • You get your 5 USDC back

  • Winners can claim

If someone challenges:

  • A new 24-hour round begins

  • Challenger's proposed outcome becomes active

  • You lose your 5 USDC bond to the challenger


Choosing Correctly

Only propose outcomes you can verify. Check the resolution source listed on the market.

Wrong proposals = lost bonds.


Bond Recovery

Correct proposals get full bond return after:

  • Challenge window expires, or

  • Market finalizes with your proposed outcome

The bond is returned to your trading balance automatically.


Why Propose?

  • Help finalize markets you traded in

  • Earn challenger bonds if someone incorrectly challenges you

  • Community service (markets need resolution to function)

There's no direct reward for proposing, but it enables you to claim your winnings faster.
