Scalar Resolution

FOKIOCPayout FunctionShare

A market resolution method where payouts scale linearly between a defined minimum and maximum value. Unlike a binary (Yes/No) market, a scalar market resolves to any number within its designated range.

Why it matters on AGON

Scalar resolution powers AGON's most nuanced markets. It lets you trade outcomes that are not simple win/loss scenarios. Think "Total goals in the World Cup Final" (range 0-7) or "Max Verstappen's fastest lap time" (range 1:18.000-1:21.000). Your payout is proportional to the final, verified number.

This model provides a more granular way to express a market view and manage risk. All scalar markets on AGON settle in USDC on Base. Resolution data is currently sourced via our admin oracle, with a planned transition to a decentralized OracleDAO to secure the process further. You can find these markets under the 'Specials' tab for major events at /markets.

How to apply

The payout calculation is direct. Each share you own pays out based on where the final result lands within the predefined range.

Formula: Payout per Share = (Resolution Value - Lower Bound) / (Upper Bound - Lower Bound)

Consider a market on "Points scored by LeBron James" with a range of 20 (Lower Bound) to 40 (Upper Bound).

  • You buy shares at $0.60, implying a market expectation of 32 points.
  • He finishes the game with 35 points (Resolution Value).

The payout per share is (35 - 20) / (40 - 20) = 15 / 20 = $0.75. Your profit is $0.15 per share. Instead of getting rekt because he scored 29 on an "Over 29.5" bet, your payout reflects how right you were.
