How It Works
- Yes outcome: Yes contract holders receive $1 per contract
- No outcome: No contract holders receive $1 per contract
- Only net positions are settled (after netting)
Settlement Timing
Markets typically settle shortly after expiration, but timing can vary based on market type, data source availability, and manual review requirements.Fees
Settlement fees are zero for simple yes/no determinations but may apply for sub-cent scalar settlement. The actual payout (CollateralAmountChange) is rounded to whole cents. CollateralAmountChange + MiscFeeAmt equals the pre-rounding settlement value.
