Settlement is automatic. When the offer’s time window ends:
- We compare the starting rate to the ending rate.
- If the rate went up, the long/up side wins; if it went down, the short/down side wins.
- Winners get their own stake back plus a share of the losing side’s pooled stake.
- If the rate didn’t change, or everyone ended up on the same side, it’s a draw — everyone gets their stake back and no fee is charged.
Winnings are credited automatically, usually within about a minute of the window closing.
