Resolution & payout

A market resolves when its underlying event is settled — the game ends, the date passes, the result is known. Resolution decides which shares are worth $1.00 and which are worth $0.00.

What happens at resolution

1. The event concludes (the match finishes, the price prints, the deadline hits).
2. Parti determines the outcome from the market's stated resolution source — the official result, an on-chain price feed, or another pre-declared authority. Every market tells you, up front, what it resolves against.
3. The market is marked resolved and trading stops.
4. Winning shares become redeemable for $1.00 each. Losing shares become worth $0.00.

Getting paid

When a market you hold resolves in your favor, your winnings are credited back to your balance as USDG. In most cases this happens automatically; if a market shows a Redeem action on your position, tap it to claim your $1.00-per-share payout.

There's nothing else to do — once redeemed, the funds are spendable and you can withdraw them at any time (see Deposits & withdrawals).

Example

You held 100 YES shares bought at 40¢ (cost $40). The event happens and the market resolves YES:

• 100 shares × $1.00 = $100 credited to your balance.
• Net profit: +$60.

If it had resolved NO, those YES shares would be worth $0 and you'd have lost your $40.

You don't have to wait

Remember you can sell before resolution at the live market price. If you're confident in the outcome and the price is already near $1.00, holding to settlement captures the last few cents; if you'd rather take profit now, sell. The choice is yours.

When markets resolve oddly

Occasionally an event is ambiguous, postponed, or cancelled. When that happens, a market may resolve to a mid value (a partial payout), be voided (positions returned), or have its deadline extended — always according to the resolution rules stated on the market. Parti aims to settle fairly and transparently against the source the market declared.
