Market Resolution & Disputes

Aura emphasizes transparency and fairness through a structured market resolution and dispute process, ensuring outcomes reflect community consensus.

Submitting Market Outcomes

Once a market reaches its end date, users can submit a proposed outcome (e.g. YES or NO) by posting a 100 ALPH bond. This initiates a 24-hour dispute window.

If no one disputes the proposal within 24 hours, the market automatically resolves to that outcome.
The proposer’s 100 ALPH bond is refunded in full.

How Disputes Work

If another user disagrees with the proposed outcome, they can initiate a dispute by also staking 100 ALPH within the 24-hour window.

The market then enters a 24-hour community voting period.
During this time, the outcome remains open until the community vote concludes.
Both the proposer and disputer now have 100 ALPH at stake — a total of 200 ALPH.

Voting on Outcomes

Only neutral users (those with no position in the disputed market) can vote on the correct outcome. This maintains fairness.

Navigate to Voting Page: Visit the "Voting" tab, select the "Outcomes" section, and locate the disputed market.
Voting Power: Determined by your staking tier (1 to 30 votes, depending on tier level).
Voting Result: Majority votes determine the resolution.

What if there is a tie?

If the vote results in a tie, the market does not resolve. Instead:

A revote is triggered with another 24-hour voting window.
This process repeats until a majority is reached.

Finalizing Outcomes

After the voting period concludes:

Winning Outcome: Determined by majority community votes.
Voters are incentivized: 10% of the market’s fees are split among users who vote for the final winning outcome, proportional to their voting power.
Bonds: The winning side’s representative (either the proposer or the disputer) receives the full 200 ALPH bond as a reward.
Outcome Enforcement: Winning share holders are automatically paid out in Alephium.

This transparent, community-driven process ensures integrity and trustworthiness across all prediction markets on Aura.
