How entertainment markets work

Award shows, reality TV and streaming-hit markets resolve from the official broadcaster announcement or industry body (the Academy for the Oscars, the EBU for Eurovision, Nielsen for US ratings). Because these events have moderate liquidity but high public interest, odds can move sharply as finalists are announced or critics' picks go public. PolyGram routes your order into the same Polymarket order book with a single-tap trading UX.

How this market resolves

Resolution is handled by the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour dispute window opens, and if no one stakes a counter-claim the payout is final. Contested outcomes escalate to UMA token-holder voting. Payouts clear in USDC to the winning side.
