Skip to main contentEvery market uses SPL tokens to represent shares:
- YES tokens = outcome happens
- NO tokens = outcome doesn’t happen
- Each pair is backed by 1 USDC
Minting & Burning
Mint: 1 USDC → 1 YES + 1 NO
Burn: 1 YES + 1 NO → 1 USDC
This mechanism ensures:
- YES + NO ≈ $1 (price integrity)
- Always-available liquidity
- Capital efficiency in multi-outcome markets
Why This Matters
If the order book is thin, you’re never stuck. Mint a pair for $1, sell the side you don’t want. This creates your own liquidity without relying on other traders.
Arbitrage Enforcement
If YES = $0.65 and NO = $0.40 (sum = $1.05), arbitrageurs can:
- Buy both for $1.05
- Burn for $1.00
- Repeat until prices balance
This keeps YES + NO ≈ $1 across all markets.
