How challenges work

Three outcomes are possible during or at the end of the 2-hour challenge period:

1. 1. No dispute filed → fastest path

   When the 2-hour window closes with no disputes filed, settlement runs automatically. Winning shares are credited 1.00 USDC each to user balances in a single atomic ledger transaction; losing shares are written off. Total time from resolution to payout: ~2 hours.

2. 2. Dispute filed → moderator review

   Any verified user can dispute the proposed outcome by posting a $10 USDC bond from their SatoriEx balance. The market remains in the PendingResolution status while the dispute is evaluated — settlement is paused but the market status does not change to a separate state. Multiple disputes on the same market can be filed in parallel; all must be resolved before settlement runs.

3. 3. Dispute upheld → re-proposal, window restarts

   If the dispute is upheld (i.e., the original resolution was wrong), the market returns to active (trading) status and the full propose-and-confirm cycle must restart on a new proposed outcome. A fresh 2-hour challenge period opens only after the new resolution is confirmed. The disputing user gets their $10 bond back plus a $5 USDC reward.

4. Dispute rejected → settlement proceeds

   If the dispute is rejected (the original resolution was correct), the disputer's $10 bond is forfeited to the dispute reserve pool. Settlement then runs normally on the original proposed outcome once the window closes.

Who can dispute, what's needed

Disputing is permissionless among verified users, with two requirements:

• Active SatoriEx account at KYC Tier 1 or higher.
• $10.00 USDC available in your platform balance (no other restriction — you do not need to have traded on the market).
• The dispute must be filed within the 2-hour challenge period. After it closes (without disputes), the market settles and disputes are no longer accepted.
