If you believe a market outcome was decided incorrectly, you can file a dispute to have it reviewed. You must act within the dispute window that opens after the winner is announced.

Collateral requirement

To file a dispute, you must put up collateral. The amount is calculated as 0.1% of the market's total volume, or $1,000 — whichever is less.

Step 1: Go to the Resolution Center

  1. On the market page, scroll down below the main trading choices.

  2. Click on the Resolution tab.

  3. Click Dispute Outcome.

  4. This takes you to the Resolution Center, an external site that is part of the Rain protocol ecosystem.

  5. In the Resolution Center, submit your dispute.

Step 2: AI judge review

Once your dispute is submitted, an autonomous AI judge reviews the claims and evidence. The market status will update to show it is 'Under Dispute'. The AI judge delivers an initial, impartial ruling.

Step 3: Appeal to human oracles

If you disagree with the AI judge's ruling, you can appeal. This escalates the case to a group of decentralized human oracles, who conduct a final binding review.

Collateral outcome

  • If the final ruling sides with you: you get your collateral back.

  • If the final ruling upholds the original resolution: your collateral goes to the original resolver.
