On Myriad, a politics and elections market is a contract on a clearly defined question that settles against a written rule, the named source and date set before trading. A correct side pays one dollar and the other pays nothing, so the price between 1 and 99 cents reads as the implied probability.
Crypto-native protocol outside US regulation; standing for US persons is unsettled.

Markets settle onchain against a written resolution rule, usually tied to an official election or political result. Read the rule carefully, including which source settles it and what happens in a disputed or delayed result, because resolution is where many disputes arise.
Cost comes from the spread, any trading or protocol fee, and the network fees of transacting onchain, rather than a built in margin. Treat any figure as indicative and as of June 2026, and confirm the live terms before acting.
No. A price is the market's implied probability based on current information, not a forecast that will come true. It can move sharply and can be wrong. Read it as a probability estimate, never as a verdict.
