​
The Dispute Mechanism

PolyPulseBets is designed to be trust-minimized. Even though an Oracle asserts the outcome, you have the power to challenge it if they lie or make a mistake.

​
When to Dispute

You should only initiate a dispute if the Asserted Outcome is demonstrably false according to the Resolution Rules.

​
How to Dispute

If you see an incorrect assertion during the Challenge Period:
  1. Go to the Market Page: You will see a “Dispute” status.
  2. Post Bond: You must stake a specific amount of tokens (e.g., 50 USDC) as a “Dispute Bond”.
  3. Provide Evidence: You must submit a link (URL) proving why the assertion is wrong.
  4. Confirm: Once confirmed, the resolution timer stops.

​
What happens next?

The market enters a “Disputed” state.
  1. The case is escalated to a higher-tier arbitration mechanism (currently a multi-sig council of trusted community members).
  2. Arbitrators review the evidence and the Rules.
  3. Final Ruling:
    • If you were right: You get your Bond back plus a reward, and the market is corrected.
    • If you were wrong: You lose your Bond (it is burned or paid to the Oracle), and the original result stands.
