# Market Resolution

### Market Resolution

Once a market ends, our **AI Agents** review the outcome using **trusted resolution sources** and all available data across the web to determine the final result, resolving the market to the correct option.

In markets that the AI cannot resolve, our agent will **flag the market for admin resolution**.

Our **hybrid resolution process** has achieved a **99.86% correctness rate**. In the rare case that an AI agent makes a mistake, **PredictBase will issue a full refund** of user bets and winnings to ensure **user trust and platform integrity**.

***

#### Resolution Outcomes

After review, the market will be set to one of the following statuses:

| Status       | What it means                                                              |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Resolved** | A winning option was selected. Users who picked it can now claim winnings. |
| **Canceled** | The market was invalid, unverifiable, or in violation of platform rules.   |

***

#### When Is a Market Canceled?

A market may be canceled if:

* The question was unclear, misleading, or overly subjective
* The resolution source is **invalid**, **unverifiable**, or **missing**
* The event **did not happen**, or evidence was inconclusive
* The market **violates ethical or legal guidelines**

In these cases:

* All users can **claim 100% of their USDC back**
* Protocol and creator fees are also refunded.

***

#### How Long Does Resolution Take?

Most markets are resolved within **24 hours** after their end time.

All changes are publicly recorded on-chain.
