FAQ

The questions that matter.

What is SCRY?

A prediction market built into the pool a token trades in. You call a price level - above or under - and stake on it. At the deadline, the pool itself says where the price finished. Right calls split what wrong calls staked.

How do I make a prediction?

Open the app, click a level on the board or type your own, pick above or under, set your stake, sign once. BUY & PREDICT does the token buy and the call in one transaction. When the round settles, you collect from the same page.

Who decides who won?

Arithmetic. Settlement reads a time-weighted average price straight from the pool at the deadline. No oracle committee, no dispute window, nobody to appeal to. If the number finished above your line, you were right.

Why an average price and not the final tick?

Because a single closing print can be pushed with one aggressive trade in the last second. The settlement price is averaged over the final hours, which makes that trick expensive enough to be pointless.

Does it count if the price touches my level mid-round?

No. Only where the price finishes at settlement matters. It can cross your level ten times during the day and still settle on the wrong side of it. The chart is drama; the deadline is the verdict.

What do I win?

Your stake back, plus a share of everything the wrong side staked. The protocol takes 5% of that losing pot - its only cut - and the rest goes to the right side, weighted by how bold each call was: a narrow call earns a bigger share than a wide one that was also right. Nobody sets odds. The pot pays exactly what it holds, so quoted payouts move until entry closes.

When can I enter?

Any time. Rounds run daily, and entry hands over to the next round a few hours before settlement, so there is always a round taking stakes. If today's round has closed, your stake lands on tomorrow's - the ticket tells you which one, before you sign.

Why are the stakes capped so low?

Because this is an unaudited v1, and the caps are the safety. The pot's ceiling is derived from what it would cost to manipulate the pool, so the pot is never worth the attack. As the pool deepens, the caps rise. If something breaks early, it breaks small.

Do I have to collect my winnings?

Yes - collecting is one click and one signature, from YOUR POSITIONS in the app. Win or lose, every settled call also leaves a permanent on-chain record of the level, the stake and the outcome. That record is the point: proof, not screenshots.
