Every market settles against a locked, published rulebook and ships a receipt anyone can check. Funds stay segregated. The worst markets never get listed. This is prediction infrastructure built for trust.
Prediction markets are a powerful way to turn collective knowledge into a clear probability. Verity keeps that power and fixes the part the category keeps getting wrong: the integrity of how a market settles.
Before you trade, you can see exactly how a market will resolve — the question, the source, the edge cases. After it settles, you can prove the outcome followed those rules. No hidden discretion, no token-vote whales, no "just trust us."
The integrity is in the process — fixed up front, checked at the end, and published for anyone.
The rulebook, named source, and settlement method are fixed and hashed before trading opens.
A transparent order book with maker-friendly, clearly-shown fees and guaranteed two-sided quotes.
At settlement the official source is read as written — never crowd sentiment or a token vote.
The result is checked against the locked rules; any dispute goes to a no-position panel, with appeals.
A machine-readable receipt of every input is published, so the outcome can be independently recomputed.
Mistakes are rare, but when a settlement is overturned on appeal, a clawback bond is used to make affected traders whole, and an amended receipt is published explaining the correction. Because funds are custodial, errors can actually be put right — something non-custodial, code-is-law platforms can't do.
Resolution rules are hashed and published before any trade — provably unchanged at settlement.
Disputes are judged by reputation, by people barred from holding a stake in the outcome.
Overturned results trigger a bond that makes affected traders whole — real recourse.
A receipt of every input is published with each settlement — recompute the outcome yourself.
Fiat-first; customer funds segregated, with eligible idle cash swept to FDIC-insured banks.
Self-set limits, self-exclusion, no trading on credit — and no markets on war, death, or violence.
| Dimension | Verity | Common today |
|---|---|---|
| Resolution basis | Locked, published rulebook | Platform discretion or token vote |
| Who settles disputes | Reputation panel, no stake | Token holders or the platform |

| If a result is overturned | Clawback bond makes traders whole | Usually no refund |
| Verifiability | Public receipt — recompute it yourself | Limited, or "trust us" |

| Harm markets | Excluded by policy | Sometimes listed |
"Common today" describes patterns across leading prediction markets and is provided for general comparison.
Verity offers aggregate sports outcomes — final results, margins, advancement, championships, and season-long stats — resolved from official league data with edge cases (postponements, corrections) defined up front.
We deliberately don't list single-play microbets, player-injury markets, or officiating outcomes. It keeps Verity on the right side of the rules and away from the harm we won't touch.
excluded: microbets · injuries · officiating
