Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve according to the winner of the Republican Primary for Governor of Vermont, scheduled to take place on August 11, 2026. Resolution will be based on the overall winner of the primary, including any potential second round or run-off. If no 2026 Vermont Gubernatorial Republican Primary takes place, this market will resolve to “Other.” The resolution source for this market will be the first official announcement of the results from the Vermont Republican Party; however, an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting may suffice.
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.

Vermont's Republican primary for governor will take place on 11 August 2026, with the winner determined by either a single round or potential run-off process. The Vermont Republican Party will provide the official results, though credible reporting consensus may serve as resolution source if the party announcement is delayed. This market settles on that primary outcome, with "Other" as the resolution if no primary occurs.
Vermont has voted Democratic in presidential elections since 1992, and the state's Republican Party remains a minority force in statewide politics. The incumbent governor, Phil Scott, is a moderate Republican who has governed since 2017; his potential candidacy or retirement would substantially reshape the primary field. Historical Vermont Republican primaries have typically featured limited candidate pools and lower turnout compared to Democratic contests, making early candidate announcements and endorsements disproportionately influential in determining the eventual nominee.
Traders should monitor candidate declarations beginning in late 2025 and into early 2026, as the primary field will likely crystallise only months before the August election. Scott's intentions regarding re-election remain the most significant catalyst; his decision either to seek another term or step aside will determine whether the primary becomes a competitive multi-candidate race or a coronation. Party convention results, if held, and any polling released closer to the primary date will provide concrete signals for updating probabilities. The order book on Polymarket will reflect evolving expectations as these developments unfold.
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.
