Resolution and settlement

After betting closes, a market moves through resolution and settlement. You do not need to resolve the market yourself. Follow the market status and claim any payout or refund before its displayed deadline.

​

What happens after betting closes

The Policy & Timeline and Deadlines sections on the market page show the resolution window, claim period, refund period, and their exact timestamps. These deadlines use Solana cluster time, which can differ slightly from your device clock.

​

Settlement sequence

Both actions must complete within the deadline shown on the market page. A position can receive either its applicable payout or refund only once.

​

How winning payouts work

Flew uses pool-based settlement. The placement fee is deducted when a position enters the market, so settlement calculations use each position’s net amount. For a winning position: $$\text{Payout} = \text{Your Net Position} \times \frac{\text{YES Pool} + \text{NO Pool}}{\text{Winning Pool}}$$ Your payout contains:

• Your net position amount
• Your proportional share of the losing pool

For example, if your net position represents 10% of the winning pool, you receive 10% of the combined net pools. Integer division and vault balance safeguards can round the final transfer down by a small number of lamports.

​

Claim a winning payout

1. Connect the wallet that placed the position.
2. Open the resolved market, or go to Profile → Your Positions.
3. Confirm that the market shows your position as a winner.
4. Click Claim Payout and approve the Solana transaction.
5. Keep the page open while the encrypted computation finalizes.

After finalization, the payout is transferred to your connected wallet and the position is marked as claimed. Each position can settle only once.

​

Refunds when resolution is missed

If the market does not resolve before its resolution deadline, it displays Refunds Available. An eligible refund returns your net position amount. It does not return the placement fee that was deducted when you entered the market. To claim a refund:

1. Connect the wallet that placed the position.
2. Open the market while it shows Refunds Available.
3. Click Claim Refund and approve the Solana transaction.
4. Keep the page open while the encrypted computation finalizes.

The refund is transferred to your wallet after finalization, and the position is marked as claimed.

​

What remains private

Resolution reveals the aggregate YES and NO pool totals. Your individual position side and net amount remain encrypted in the position account during the normal resolution flow. When you claim, Arcium privately evaluates the encrypted position. The resulting payout or refund transfer, wallet addresses, and transaction are public on Solana.

​

If a claim does not complete

• Confirm that the same wallet used for the position is connected.
• Check that the claim or refund deadline has not passed.
• Wait for the current computation to finish before trying another action.
• If the transaction fails or finalization is interrupted, refresh the market and check whether Claim Payout or Claim Refund is still available before retrying.
