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: major news outlets, official government statements, official social media channels, or public statements.

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.

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.
