Guidelines

Consider the following guidelines when verifying.

Check the resolution source

Make sure the evidence matches the resolution source.

Example: In 2026 NBA Champion, the resolution source is information from the NBA. Evidence from outlets such as ESPN would not count.

Review proposals that are about to finalize

Prioritize reviewing proposals whose challenge periods are about to end.

Example: In the UMA Oracle, prioritize proposals with less time remaining in their challenge period over those just submitted.

Collaborate with others

Verification is a team effort. Work with others to determine whether a proposal is accurate. By collaborating, you can learn from experienced verifiers and markets you may be unfamiliar with.

Example: In Any Tesla arsonist found guilty in 2025?, several users collaborated by reviewing court documents to confirm whether a Tesla arsonist had been found guilty.
