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.
