Summary
Polymarket issues clarifications when markets become unclear, disputed, or affected by unexpected events. A clarification explains how the rules apply and ensures the market resolves fairly.
Each clarification appears as an Additional context note above the market rules. It may be pre-announced and usually includes a short summary of what happened, Polymarket's interpretation, and what that means for resolution.
Clarifications bring consistency to how markets are interpreted. They make outcomes easier to understand, reduce confusion among traders, and reinforce trust in the resolution process.
