How ResolveX Works
A transparent, three-layer AI and human resolution system — from market creation to final outcome.
Prediction markets live and die by the accuracy and speed of their resolution. Today, most platforms rely on manual resolution — slow, expensive, opinionated, and open to manipulation. Others use simple oracles that can't handle nuanced or complex questions. ResolveX is a three-layer AI and human resolution system that delivers fast, accurate, and economically fair resolutions on Base blockchain.
The ResolveX Resolution Model
ResolveX uses an Optimistic Resolution Model. AI resolves the majority of markets instantly. Human oversight activates only when AI confidence is low or a participant believes the AI is wrong.
Step 1 — Resolution Request
A registered Market Partner calls requestResolution() on the ResolveX smart contract on Base. They provide:
- The market question
- Possible outcome texts
- Supporting evidence
- Resolution criteria (up to 3KB of instructions for the AI)
- Bond payment (between $10-$500 USDT + $2 protocol fee)
The resolution criteria hash is stored on-chain. The full criteria is emitted in the event log for AI agents to read.
Step 2 — 3L AI Resolver
The 3L Resolver — ResolveX's three-layer multi-agent AI pipeline — is triggered by an on-chain event via Envio Indexer.
Layer 1 - Fact Collection: Two agents run in parallel — a General Web Agent and a Domain Specialist Agent (crypto pricing, social media, specialist domains). All evidence is collected, tagged by authority tier, deduplicated, and frozen in an Evidence Ledger.
Layer 2 - Multi-LLM Jury Verdict: Five independent LLM jurors across different AI providers evaluate the frozen evidence against the resolution criteria. Each returns an outcome and confidence score. Contradiction detection identifies authority-aware conflicts.
Layer 3 - Deterministic Aggregator: A deterministic, code-based aggregator (zero LLM calls) applies consensus rules to produce the final outcome and confidence score. This layer is fully auditable and reproducible.
The proof of reasoning is stored on Lighthouse (IPFS). The proof hash is written back to the smart contract for permanent on-chain verification.
Step 3 — AI Auto-Resolution or Dispute Window
If AI Confidence >= 90%: The market is auto-resolved immediately. The platform's smart contract receives an automatic callback notification. Resolution time: typically under 60 seconds.
If AI Confidence < 90%: A 24-hour dispute window opens. The proposed outcome and confidence score are visible on-chain to all Disputers.
Step 4 — Dispute Window (If Applicable)
During the 24-hour window, any registered Disputer can challenge the AI's proposed outcome by staking a bond equal to the case bond.
- Only one Disputer can challenge (first-come, first-served)
- Staking triggers immediate escalation to jury voting
- If no dispute is filed within 24 hours, the AI's proposed outcome is finalised
Step 5 — Jury Vote (If Disputed)
A panel of Jurors is selected (5–17, based on bond tier). Jurors review the evidence and resolution criteria and cast their votes within a 24-hour voting window.
- All jury counts are odd — no tie votes possible
- Jurors stake RESOLVE tokens and earn rewards for correct votes
- Incorrect voters are slashed 10% of their stake
- The majority outcome is finalised on-chain after voting closes
Step 6 — Finalisation & Callbacks
Once resolved — by AI or jury — the outcome is written to the smart contract. The Market Partner's contract receives an automatic IResolveXClient callback. Funds are distributed automatically:
- Disputer wins: Receives both bonds (2* return)
- Disputer loses: Bond forfeited to treasury
- Jurors (correct vote): RESOLVE rewards distributed and auto-staked
- Jurors (wrong vote): 10% of stake slashed and burned
