Settling a Market Manually

Legacy guidance for manually settling markets created before Automated Settlement.

Automated markets do not require creator action after close. Delphi runs the settlement workflow automatically. See How Automated Settlement Works.

Settling a Market Manually

This guide applies only to markets created before Automated Settlement became available. These markets display a Legacy label.

Legacy Manual Markets

You cannot create a new manual-settlement market. Instead, all new markets utilize the Automated Settlement process.

Only follow this guide when settling an existing Legacy market. For every other market, Delphi settles automatically after trading closes.

Settle a Legacy Market

Legacy markets require creator action after close. You have 24 hours to settle the market.

To settle a market manually:

1. Open the closed market and select Settle Market.
2. Copy the locked settlement prompt.
3. Run it through the market's configured judge model.
4. Paste the output, select the matching outcome, and confirm.

   1. For cloud-hosted models, run the prompt directly. These models can access the market's specified sources.
   2. For verifiable local models, retrieve the specified source data first. Append it to the settlement prompt, then run the prompt in Gensyn's REE. Paste the resulting settlement receipt as the model output.

The receipt verifies the computation from its recorded inputs. It does not verify that the source data was correct.

Claiming Fees and Payouts

After you settle a Legacy market, select Claim Now on the market page to claim your creator fee earnings and any winning shares you hold.

The Claimable tab in Activity lists unredeemed winning shares.

What if None of Your Outcomes Apply?

Do not force an incorrect outcome. Let the deadline pass if no listed outcome applies.

The market resolves to No Outcome. Positions pay at the final market prices, which may differ from their original cost.

What Happens If You Miss the Deadline

If you do not settle a Legacy market within 24 hours, it resolves to No Outcome.

• Your initial liquidity is forfeited.
• Positions pay at final market prices.
• Proceeds may be higher or lower than the original cost.

This is not a traditional refund. Participants can claim the value of their remaining positions from Payouts in Activity.
