# 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 USDT 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 USDT 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 USDT** 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 USDT at stake** for a total of **200 USDT**.

***

## 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 USDT bond** as a reward.
* **Outcome Enforcement:** Winning share holders are automatically paid out in USDT.

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