Proposing

You can help resolve markets by submitting proposals to the oracle.

What is proposing?

Proposing means submitting an answer to a market's outcome question.

Why do markets need proposals?

For a market to resolve, an outcome must first be submitted through a proposal. If the proposal goes undisputed, the market resolves to that outcome.

What do I need to get started?

To submit a proposal, you need USDC.e on the Polygon network to post as a bond.

Most requests are limited to whitelisted proposers, so having the bond alone does not necessarily mean you can submit a proposal.

How can I propose?

To submit a proposal:

1. Go to the market's Rules section.

2. Click Propose resolution. This opens the UMA Oracle interface.

3. Approve your USDC.e bond.

4. Select your answer, confirm it, and click Propose.

What happens next?

After submitting your proposal:

1. It appears under the Verify tab.

2. It enters a challenge period.

3. If undisputed, the market moves to the Settled tab.

4. If disputed, the proposal proceeds to a vote in the next voting cycle.
