2. Verify Proof¶

File: instructions/verify_proof.rs

Allows designated verifiers to verify or reject proofs.

Parameters: - proof_id: u64 - ID of proof to verify - is_valid: bool - Whether proof is valid

Process: 1. Checks proof is in Pending state 2. If valid: - Sets status to Verified - Records verifier - Increments verification_count - Updates verified_proofs in resolution 3. If invalid: - Sets status to Rejected - Records verifier 4. Sets verified_at timestamp 5. Emits ProofVerified event

Accounts: - verifier (mut, signer) - Proof verifier - market - Market account - resolution (mut) - Resolution PDA - proof (mut) - Proof to verify

3. Resolve Market¶

File: instructions/resolve_market.rs

Resolves market with winning outcome after proof verification.

Parameters: - winning_outcome: u8 - Index of winning outcome

Preconditions: - Market not already resolved - Minimum 1 verified proof exists - Market not under dispute

Process: 1. Validates not already resolved 2. Checks minimum verifications met 3. Sets winning_outcome in resolution 4. Sets resolver and resolved_at timestamp 5. Calculates settlement_deadline (24 hours for disputes) 6. Emits MarketResolved event

Parameters: None (derives from position)

Preconditions: - Market is resolved (winning_outcome ≠ 255) - Settlement deadline has passed - Not already claimed

Payout Calculation:

// Simplified formula (production would read from position account)
payout_gross = (winning_shares * pool_value) / total_winning_shares
settlement_fee = payout_gross * SETTLEMENT_FEE_BPS / BPS_DENOMINATOR
payout_net = payout_gross - settlement_fee

Process: 1. Checks settlement deadline passed 2. Validates not already claimed 3. Reads winning shares from position account 4. Calculates proportional payout 5. Subtracts 1% settlement fee 6. Creates payout claim record 7. Transfers lamports from pool to claimer 8. Updates resolution stats 9. Emits PayoutClaimed event

Preconditions: - Market is resolved - Within dispute period (before settlement_deadline) - Stake >= MIN_DISPUTE_STAKE

Process: 1. Validates dispute reason length 2. Validates stake amount 3. Checks dispute period hasn't expired 4. Creates dispute account 5. Locks stake in dispute vault 6. Marks resolution as disputed 7. Emits DisputeOpened event

Resolution Types:

Type 0 - Reject Dispute: - Keep original outcome - Slash 50% of stake as penalty - Return remaining 50% to disputer

Type 1 - Accept Dispute: - Change to new outcome - Return full stake + 50% reward - Update winning_outcome in resolution

Type 2 - Partial Accept: - Keep original outcome - Return full stake

Process: 1. Validates dispute is Open 2. Validates disputer matches 3. Applies resolution based on type 4. Updates dispute status 5. Returns/slashes stake accordingly 6. Clears is_disputed flag 7. Emits DisputeResolved event
