Resolution Sources

Resolution source criteria fall into one of three categories: a single source, select sources, a consensus of credible reporting, or a combination of all of them.

Single Source

Some markets resolve solely on a single source.

Examples: sports organizations, Rotten Tomatoes, Federal Register, Binance.

Select Sources

Some markets resolve according to a set of acceptable sources. Verification can come from any of them.

Examples: Katy Perry, Justin Trudeau, their official representative(s), public statements, social media posts.

Consensus of Credible Reporting

Markets without a clear source, or where flexibility is needed, may resolve based on a consensus of credible reporting.

Examples: political markets, appearance markets, geopolitics, culture markets.

Multiple Sources

Some markets require multiple sources for resolution. This is similar to a consensus of credible reporting, but with specific sources listed.

Example: The Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC.

Backup Sources

Markets may also list a backup source, such as another official or independent website.

Example: many markets use a consensus of credible reporting as a backup source.
