Event

The first step to market resolution is an event.

An event is something that happens in the real world which may cause a market to resolve.

Example: The Buffalo Bills win the 2026 Super Bowl.

For an event to qualify, it must meet the market's resolution criteria.

For Yes outcomes, this means the qualifying event occurred.

For No outcomes, it usually means that the market ended without a qualifying event happening.

Example: The Buffalo Bills winning the 2026 Super Bowl meets the resolution criteria for Super Bowl Champion 2026 (Buffalo Bills).

If the event qualifies, the market is ready for proposal. A user can submit a proposal to resolve the market.

Example: Once the Buffalo Bills' win is confirmed, a user can submit a Yes proposal for Super Bowl Champion 2026 (Buffalo Bills).
