PredictionSites Editorial · 15 July 2026
Settlement is the part of prediction markets that new traders ignore and experienced traders obsess over. On-chain venues typically rely on an oracle with a dispute window; regulated exchanges rely on a stated source and internal review.
The risk is not fraud so much as ambiguity: a question whose wording does not survive a messy real-world outcome.
Read the settlement section of any brand profile before committing size.
