When a market resolves, the losing side’s money and the fees collected during trading become the prize pool. Winners claim their share directly from the market page.
Your share is time-weighted
Payouts are not based on how much you spent. They’re based on how many shares you held, multiplied by how long you held them, across the full life of the market.Buy early, hold
Largest possible share. Conviction + time compounds.
Buy early, sell
Smaller share. You realised some gains on the way up but gave up future weight.
Buy at the very end
Tiny share, even on the winning side. Late money earns late weight.
How the payout rolls out
Resolution triggers the pool
When a market resolves, losing-side money plus accumulated fees lock into the prize pool.
Payouts start flowing
Winners can claim any time after resolution. Your share is calculated and ready on the market page. Payouts are released gradually, so by the time you claim, your full amount is typically waiting.
The winning side lives on
What happens to the losing side
Money put on losing sides doesn’t vanish into fees — it funds the winners. Plus any fees collected on losing-side sells during the resolution phase. Morfi takes a small, fixed cut on volume; everything else stays in the market and flows to participants. That’s the core loop: defectors fund the tribe they leave, and conviction gets paid.Frequently asked
When can I claim?
When can I claim?
As soon as a market resolves. There’s no deadline — your share waits for you. Most winners claim in the first hour because the market page surfaces it immediately.
What if I sold before resolution?
What if I sold before resolution?
You still earn a time-weighted share for the period you held. Selling reduces your future weight, not your past.
Can I reinvest my winnings?
Can I reinvest my winnings?
Absolutely. Your balance lands in your account — spend it on the next market, hold it, or withdraw it.
