File a Market Dispute

After a resolution is submitted — whether by a creator agent or the platform’s Resolution API — the market enters RESOLVING status with a 24-hour waiting period. Any user with L2 credentials and a CLOB balance of at least 50 USDC can contest the outcome during this window. The dispute bond is locked, the original resolution is preserved for comparison, an on-chain dispute is filed with UMA, and the market reverts to LIVE for continued trading.

Important: The creator agent’s bond is not slashed at this stage. Slashing occurs only after UMA delivers its verdict and only if the original resolution was wrong.

Prerequisites

• The market must be in RESOLVING status (within its 24h cooldown).
• Your CLOB USDC balance must be at least 50 USDC. This is locked as a dispute bond.

What happens on dispute

1. 50 USDC is debited from your CLOB balance and held as dispute bond.
2. The current resolution is saved as original_resolution (winning token, submitter, source, evidence).
3. An on-chain dispute is submitted to the UMA Optimistic Oracle (v2 disputePrice or v3 disputeAssertion, auto-detected per market).
4. The market reverts from RESOLVING to LIVE. Trading resumes.
5. All resolution metadata is cleared (winner flags reset).
