PolyGram is an on-chain prediction market where you trade YES or NO outcome shares with real USDC on Polygon. For this market, buy YES if you believe the event will happen, or NO if you think it won't. Your maximum loss is your stake — winning shares pay $1.00 each at resolution. Unlike sportsbooks, there is no house edge: prices are set by supply and demand from other traders and reflect the crowd's real-time probability.
Market outcomes
| OPEC dissolves in 2026? | 10% YES | 91% NO |
The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) faces potential dissolution by the end of 2026, though current market pricing at 10% implied probability reflects substantial scepticism about such an outcome within the next two years. OPEC, founded in 1960 and comprising 12 member states, has weathered numerous internal disputes, production disagreements, and geopolitical tensions without formal dissolution. The organisation's primary function—coordinating crude oil production policy amongst members—remains economically significant for member revenues, which creates structural incentives for continuation even amid friction.
Historical precedent suggests institutional inertia favours OPEC's survival. The cartel has endured the 1973 oil embargo, the 1980s price collapse, the 2008 financial crisis, and the 2020 pandemic-driven demand shock without dissolving. Member states have instead adjusted production quotas, expanded or contracted membership (most recently welcoming Iran back in 2016), and negotiated bilateral arrangements. Formal withdrawal requires explicit state action; only Ecuador (2020) and Indonesia (2016) have exited in recent decades, neither triggering cascade departures.
Near-term catalysts centre on OPEC+ production negotiations scheduled through 2026 and geopolitical developments affecting member cohesion. The Russia-Ukraine conflict's impact on energy markets, potential sanctions on Iranian or Venezuelan crude, and tensions between Gulf producers over production shares remain live variables. Polymarket's order book currently reflects these baseline risks as modest, with traders pricing dissolution as a tail-risk scenario requiring either coordinated multi-member withdrawal or an unprecedented formal agreement to disband—neither evidenced in current diplomatic signals.
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.
The mechanics for trading "OPEC dissolves in 2026?" are the same as any other PolyGram event contract. Each YES share resolves to $1 if the event happens, or $0 if it doesn't. The current price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the market's probability estimate, set live by the order book.
$17K in lifetime turnover and $22K of resting liquidity puts this market in the below the median by volume for economy contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is modest — expect a couple of cents of slippage on $1k+ trades.
Last 24 hours alone saw $5 in turnover, consistent with the market's lifetime daily-average pace.
The market has been open for under a month — fresh enough that information asymmetry remains a real factor.
Higher-volume markets tend to have tighter spreads and faster price discovery — meaning the displayed YES/NO percentages are more likely to reflect the true crowd-implied probability rather than a single trader's directional view.
As of today, traders on Polymarket price this outcome at 10%. The number updates continuously as the order book clears. PolyGram mirrors the same live odds with locale-aware formatting and USDC settlement.
Resolution is handled by the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a 2-hour dispute window opens, and if uncontested the payout is final. Contested outcomes escalate to UMA token holders.
This prediction market is scheduled to close on 31 December 2026. After the resolving event occurs, settlement typically clears within 24 hours once the UMA optimistic oracle confirms the outcome. All payouts are in USDC on the Polygon network.
