How Are Markets Resolved

Maiga resolves markets using reliable external sources such as:

• Binance live feed API data

• Chainlink Data Streams

• other third-party providers (depending on market type)

At expiry, Maiga checks the outcome based on the market’s defined rule (e.g., “price at timestamp”).

Markets settle automatically at expiry — you don’t need to do anything.

Settlement outcome (what happens next)

Once a market is finalized:

• winning side receives payout to wallet balance

• losing side does not receive the staked amount back

• the market is marked as Resolved

(Unlike P2P systems, there is no user-proposed resolution bonding process; Maiga resolves centrally based on predefined rules and data sources.)

Ben’s resolution example (clear timestamp)

Market: “BTC closes above 50,000 at 12:00:00 UTC”

• At 12:00:00 UTC, Maiga checks the defined source(s)

• If the close is 50,120 → YES wins

• If 49,980 → NO wins
