Predictions
Resolution and payout
A prediction market ends when the answer is known. It then resolves: the winning side is decided and each share becomes worth what it is due. This page covers when that happens, who decides, and how the money arrives, which is not the same on Hyperliquid as on Polymarket.
When it resolves
Section titled “When it resolves”Every market has its date. You see it on the card (“Resolves in…”) and on the market’s page (“Resolves…”, in your time zone). For a match, the page also says when it Starts.
- Until that date you can buy and sell.
- After the date there is no more trading: the market waits for its result.
- When it resolves, the people who were right are paid.
There can be a gap between the close and the payout. The venue sets the timing, not Every.
Who decides the result
Section titled “Who decides the result”On Hyperliquid, the market is resolved by whoever published it on Hyperliquid, following its rule. Once it resolves, the market drops off the list.
On Polymarket, someone proposes the result and there is a window to dispute it. If nobody disputes it, it resolves within a few hours. If someone does, it can take several days, until a vote decides. The rule that applies is the one under How it resolves on the market’s page, not just the title: read it before you buy.
What you collect
Section titled “What you collect”| If your side… | Each share is worth |
|---|---|
| Wins | $1 |
| Loses | $0 |
So what you collect if you are right is the number of shares you hold. It is the figure the buy screen showed you under If you’re right, you get.
In rare cases, when the question has no clear answer, a market can resolve part-way: for example, $0.50 a share on each side. The market’s rule decides.
If you are wrong, there is nothing to collect and nothing to do: your shares are worth 0 and stop counting in your balance.
How the money arrives
Section titled “How the money arrives”Hyperliquid: on its own
Section titled “Hyperliquid: on its own”You do not have to do anything. When the market resolves, Hyperliquid pays the people who were right, and the money appears in your cash on Hyperliquid, ready for Invest.
- While the market has closed and Hyperliquid has not paid yet, your prediction shows in Invest → Predictions with Payout pending instead of a price. It can no longer be sold.
- Once it pays, Activity shows “Payout from” with the question and your side, the amount collected, the fee and the total received. If you were wrong, it shows “No payout”.
- On the payout only Hyperliquid’s closing fee applies. Every charges nothing to collect.
Polymarket: not collected from Every today
Section titled “Polymarket: not collected from Every today”On Polymarket, winning shares do not turn into money on their own: they have to be redeemed, and the Every app does not have that step yet. If you are right, your winning shares stay in your Polymarket wallet. They are still yours, but until they are redeemed they are not money you can move to your Every wallet.
Money you hold on Polymarket outside any prediction, such as the proceeds of a sale, can be moved to your wallet whenever you like, with Move to your wallet.
Where you see it
Section titled “Where you see it”- Invest → Predictions: what you hold in each Hyperliquid market, one row per prediction, and everything on Polymarket together in one row.
- Activity: the purchase, the sale and the payout of each Hyperliquid prediction.
- The market’s page, while it is still open: tap your side and the screen shows how many shares you hold and what they are worth now.
