Tips

Here are some tips for verifying proposals.

Check the Polymarket odds

Check the Polymarket odds to see if traders believe the market is ready to be resolved.

Example: If a Yes proposal has been submitted but the market is still trading at 50¢, it may suggest the outcome needs further review.

Consider the timing of evidence

Only consider information that was publicly available at the time the proposal was submitted.

Example: In Will Trump endorse Andrew Cuomo for NYC Mayor?, a Yes proposal was submitted after The New York Times reported that President Trump endorsed Andrew Cuomo. It was later disputed for not meeting the consensus of credible reporting requirement.

Ask if you're unsure

When you're unsure whether a proposal is accurate, gather as many details as possible before verifying.

Example: In South Park: Trump x Satan baby boy or girl?, the rules referenced Season 27, which was expected to have ten episodes. After the season was cut in half, verifiers discussed how to handle the unexpected change before confirming accuracy.
