Concepts
Short, plain-English explainers for how Urightmarket works — meant for people who are new to prediction markets or to crypto, written without the jargon.
What is a prediction market?
A live, dollar-weighted forecast that lets anyone bet on whether something will happen — and lets observers read the market price as a probability.
Read →How to read a price
When Yes trades at 47¢ it implies the market thinks the event has a 47% chance of happening. Every dollar you spend at 47¢ returns $1 if the market resolves Yes, $0 if it resolves No.
Read →Mint, Transfer, Merge
The three ways orders settle: minting a fresh outcome pair, transferring existing shares between traders, and merging a complete set back into the dollar that backs it.
Read →Fees and spread
How Urightmarket charges fees — what you pay, why the price you see already includes it, and what the spread between Yes and No actually means.
Read →Resolution and disputes
How a market gets settled, who calls it, what happens to your shares when the answer is in, and how disputes work when the resolution is contested.
Read →Self-custody and on-chain settlement
Your USDC and outcome shares live in an escrow PDA you control. We never hold custody. Every trade settles on Solana.
