# Welcome

Welcome to PolymarketGuide, an independent knowledge base dedicated to helping users understand, navigate, and analyze Polymarkets. PolymarketGuide explains how markets resolve, documents resolution history, and offers deep insight into the Oracle.

PolymarketGuide is currently focused on building a living archive of precedents, notable markets, and case studies. It uses real-world examples to help users interpret resolution criteria and outcomes, with the broader goal of making oracle participation more transparent and accessible.

The site is organized into three main sections: Basics, Precedents, and Case Studies. Each section is designed to build your understanding step by step, guiding you from fundamental concepts to advanced principles. For easy navigation, use the search bar located in the upper right corner.

To get started, head to the [Basics](/polymarketguide-archive/basics/introduction-to-polymarket.md). After that, explore the guide however you like.
