What does this contract actually require?

Venues publish the rules. Nobody explains them: the criteria, the settling authority, the carve-outs, and the thing almost nobody looks for, which is what would make it resolve against you.

Who decides, and on what

The settling authority is the single field that most often makes two similar contracts different bets. Media consensus, an official gazette, a named index, an oracle vote — each can disagree with the others on the same day.

What resolves it against you

Every contract has a path to NO that reads like a technicality until it settles. A deadline measured in a timezone you did not assume, an event that happened but not by the named mechanism, a carve-out for voluntary or partial measures.

Terms also change after you take a position. That is what /v1/watch is for.
