Win/loss after market resolution

What happens to your shares when a market resolves.

Resolution process

When a market's event occurs, an admin resolves the market by selecting the winning outcome. After a waiting period, the market is finalized and payouts begin.

If you win

Each winning share pays out exactly $1 USDC. If you bought shares at $0.40, your profit is $0.60 per share (150% return). Go to your Portfolio and click "Redeem" to collect.

Calculating your P&L

Your profit/loss = (payout per share × number of shares) – total cost. For example, if you bought 100 "Yes" shares at $0.65 each ($65 total) and "Yes" wins, you get $100 back for a $35 profit. The Portfolio page tracks your realized and unrealized P&L automatically.
