Resolution Types

Beforehand supports three types of market resolution, each with different processes and risk levels.

Platform Resolution​

Platform resolution is used when the outcome is verifiable by the platform. The platform reviews the evidence and confirms YES or NO.

  • Most reliable resolution type
  • Platform verifies the outcome using objective evidence
  • Used for events with clear, verifiable outcomes

Community Resolution​

Community resolution is decided by community voting.

  • Voting window: 24 hours
  • Vote weighting: Votes are weighted by credibility score
  • Threshold: There is a weighted supermajority threshold (exact threshold not disclosed)

Unclear Outcomes​

If it is unclear:

  • Outcomes that are too close can be treated as conflicting
  • Conflicting outcomes can lead to cancellation
  • The platform can also review and decide

Voting Rewards​

  • Only voters who vote with the final outcome receive rewards
  • Reward amount is flat per vote
  • Rewards are paid in the same form they are collected in fees

Clawbacks​

warning

Rewards can be clawed back if the outcome changes. Users can be penalized for incorrect votes.

Creator Resolution​

Creator resolution allows the market creator to determine the outcome.

warning

These markets are higher risk and the UI displays a warning. If the creator picks the incorrect outcome, their credibility is hit dramatically.

  • Creator has full control over the outcome
  • Higher risk for traders
  • Creator's credibility score is heavily impacted by incorrect resolutions
