Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve based on the predominant color of the tie worn by Donald Trump during his first public appearance during which he wears a tie on the specified date (ET). The color will be determined based solely on the first publicly available photo or video of the appearance. Reporting of the tie color without photos or videos will not be considered. Subsequent publication of other photos or videos, including those taken earlier, will not affect the resolution. For the tie to be considered predominantly blue or red, its primary color must be a shade of blue or red, though it may feature other colors as part of a pattern.
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.

On 10 May 2026, Donald Trump's tie colour during his first public appearance wearing a tie will determine this market's resolution. The settlement hinges on the predominant shade captured in the first publicly available photograph or video, with subsequent imagery disregarded regardless of timestamp. Acceptable outcomes are limited to blue, red, or other colours, with the colour determination based strictly on visual documentation rather than reported descriptions.
Historical precedent suggests Trump's tie selection follows established patterns. Analysis of his public appearances over the past decade reveals a strong preference for red ties, particularly during formal events and public engagements. Blue ties appear less frequently but remain a consistent secondary choice. The 0% implied probability currently reflected in Polymarket's order book suggests traders are pricing in near-certainty that Trump will wear either a red or blue tie on this date, leaving negligible probability mass for alternative colours like gold, purple, or patterned designs.
Catalysts affecting resolution centre on Trump's schedule and public commitments for May 2026. The specific nature of his first public appearance—whether a campaign event, legal proceeding, or formal engagement—will influence tie selection conventions. Traders should monitor announcements regarding his calendar in the weeks preceding the settlement date, as the event type typically correlates with formality level and colour choice. The current order book pricing reflects confidence in historical tie-wearing patterns rather than any specific scheduled event details.
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.
