Market lifecycle

Follow a market from verified template creation through collateralization, trading, resolution, and redemption.

Lifecycle#

1

Create

The factory deploys a registered verified template or an explicitly unverified resolver clone.

2

Collateralize

Depositing one collateral unit mints one YES plus one NO share.

3

Trade and check

Orders exchange outcome shares while anyone may call the market's state reader.

4

Redeem

After resolution, each winning share redeems exactly one collateral unit with no fee.
