Round Resolving

Challenge period

As you know markets.vote comprises two time bounded windows, a vote window and a market window, that usually lasts from Monday to Sunday (each).
But there’s a period of time after the winner is proposed but before it is confirmed called challenge period. It is a gap between market window closure at Sunday midnight UTC and winner reveal by snapshot taken. The challenge period lasts 1 day.

If you’re sure that true winner is not the one proposed, you can challenge by depositing 50k FVT.
Simply click the challenge button on the ballot and say which you think is the real winner.
If you’re right administrator will accept your challenge and your deposit will be returned.

When the challenge period passes and you want the round resolved earlier then you can call confirmWinnerUnchallenged and that doesn’t require a deposit.
See instructions below for that.
