# FAQ Here are the most common questions about verifying. ### Can I verify a proposal after two hours? No. Once the two-hour challenge period ends, if the proposal is not disputed, the market resolves. Later verifications will not affect the outcome. ### What happens if an incorrect proposal is verified? If an incorrect proposal is verified and goes undisputed, Polymarket may pay out the wrong side of the market. ### Why verify instead of propose? Verifying lets you see how proposals are reviewed and resolved. By observing others or verifying yourself, you learn what makes a proposal accurate or rejected. ### How much do verifiers earn in rewards? Verification team members can earn up to 2 UMA for each correct verification. Incorrect verifications can result in a penalty of up to 4 UMA. ### Why are there rewards? Rewards motivate verifiers to review proposals carefully and catch errors. Polymarket's system rewards proposers and disputers, while UMA provides separate incentives for verification team members. ### How often do verifiers disagree? Disagreements happen, especially in close or subjective markets. When this occurs, verifiers review each other's findings to identify what caused the difference and reach a consensus. ### What if I disagree with a verification? If you disagree with a verification, you can discuss it with UMA community members to understand their reasoning. You can also choose to dispute the market directly. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
