Frequented Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What happens if a market never reaches the liquidity threshold?

A: It remains in the Wild West zone indefinitely. Participants can still commit and resolve as normal—it simply won't appear on the Public Markets page.

Q: Can I cancel my commitment?

A: No direct cancellation is possible. Position tokens are non-transferable, so you must hold your position until resolution.

Q: What if the market creator submits a wrong result?

A: Anyone can challenge the result during the 24-hour challenge period by staking tokens. If the challenge is valid, the challenger is rewarded and the result is corrected.

Q: How are subjective events resolved?

A: Yamata works best with objectively verifiable events. Subjective events may be challenged and require community consensus or may be cancelled.

Q: Can I create markets on any event?

A: Yes, but markets must comply with terms of service. Illegal activities, violence, or clearly unethical events are prohibited and may be flagged.

Q: What tokens can I use?

A: Any ERC-20 token can be used for commitments. Popular choices include USDC, USDT, and DAI.

Q: Are there limits on market creation?

A: Yes, quota management prevents spam. Limits based on account age, reputation, and frequency.

Q: Can I create markets with more than 2 outcomes?

A: Absolutely! Markets support 2 to unlimited outcomes (practical limit ~50 for UX).
