FAQ¶
The basics¶
What is Parti?
Parti is a prediction market. You trade YES/NO shares on the outcomes of real-world events. Each share pays $1.00 if you're right and $0.00 if you're wrong, and its price reflects the market's live estimate of the probability.
Do I need any crypto experience?
No. Sign in with your email or a social login and a wallet is created for you automatically. You buy USDG (a dollar stablecoin) and trade in plain dollar terms.
What does a share price mean?
The price, in cents, is the market's estimate of the probability. A YES share at 62¢ means the market thinks there's about a 62% chance the event happens. YES and NO prices always add up to $1.00.
Money¶
What currency do I use?
USDG — a US-dollar stablecoin where 1 USDG ≈ $1.00. Your balance and all prices are effectively in dollars.
How do I add money?
Open the Deposit dialog and send USDG on Robinhood Chain to your personal deposit address; your balance updates automatically once it confirms. See Deposits & withdrawals.
How do I cash out?
Open the Withdraw dialog, enter an amount and your Robinhood Chain wallet address, and confirm — it confirms automatically. Your available balance (anything not tied up in open positions) can be withdrawn at any time.
Are there fees?
There's a small trading fee, always shown before you confirm a trade. The quoted cost already accounts for it. Network fees may apply when moving funds on-chain and are shown up front.
Trading¶
Can I sell before the event finishes?
Yes. You can sell all or part of a position at the live market price any time — to lock in a profit, cut a loss, or free up cash.
What's the most I can lose?
Only what you paid for a share. Buy at 60¢ and lose, and you lose 60¢ per share — never more.
What's the difference between a market order and a limit order?
A market order fills immediately at the best available price. A limit order rests at a price you choose and only fills if someone trades at that price or better. Most people just use the Buy/Sell buttons (market orders).
What are these events with lots of options?
Multi-outcome events (e.g. "who wins the championship?") are modeled as a set of independent YES/NO markets, one per outcome. You trade each one just like a simple yes/no market.
Resolution & payout¶
How does a market get resolved?
When the event concludes, Parti settles it against the resolution source stated on the market (an official result, a price feed, etc.). Winning shares become worth $1.00, losing shares worth $0.00.
When do I get paid?
When a market you hold resolves in your favor, winnings are credited back to your balance. If a position shows a Redeem action, tap it to claim your $1.00-per-share payout. Then it's spendable or withdrawable.
What if an event is cancelled or ambiguous?
Depending on the market's rules it may resolve to a partial value, be voided (positions returned), or have its deadline extended. Each market declares how it resolves.
Account & safety¶
Who controls my funds?
Your funds are custodied as USDG in an on-chain vault, and you control withdrawals back to your own wallet. No one can move your money out for you.
