Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve to “Yes” if xQc breaks Forsen's In-Game-Time of 14:18.375 in a Minecraft speedrun during a live stream by the listed date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. This market may resolve to “No” as soon as it becomes impossible for xQc to complete a qualifying speedrun within this market’s timeframe. For the purpose of this market, “Minecraft speedrun” refers to a playthrough of Minecraft Java Edition version 1.16.1, using a random seed, starting from world creation and ending when the Ender Dragon is defeated. For the purpose of this market, “Stream” refers to a live video broadcast hosted by xQc or where xQc is present.
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
| June 30 | 58% YES | 42% NO |
| May 31 | 30% YES | 71% NO |
xQc, the Canadian streamer, would need to complete a Minecraft Java Edition 1.16.1 speedrun with an in-game time faster than Forsen's 14:18.375 during a live stream before the market's deadline. The speedrun category specifies random seed runs from world creation through Ender Dragon defeat, a discipline where both streamers have demonstrated competitive capability. The 57% implied probability on Polymarket's order book reflects meaningful uncertainty about whether xQc will attempt the record and, if so, whether he'll succeed within the timeframe.
Forsen established his benchmark as a dedicated speedrunner with consistent practice across thousands of attempts. xQc has shown sporadic engagement with speedrunning content, typically pursuing it during entertainment-focused streams rather than dedicated grinding sessions. Historical precedent suggests that beating established records in this category requires sustained focused practice; casual or infrequent attempts rarely yield record-breaking times. The current probability pricing suggests the market is weighing xQc's raw mechanical skill against the discipline and dedication speedrunning records demand.
Traders should monitor xQc's streaming schedule for announced speedrunning sessions and any public statements about attempting Forsen's record. The market's resolution depends entirely on xQc initiating a qualifying attempt—without scheduled practice or explicit intent, the probability of a successful beat diminishes substantially. Any announcement of dedicated speedrunning content would likely shift the order book significantly, as would evidence of xQc's current personal best times relative to the target.
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 "Will xQc beat Forsen's Minecraft speedrun record by...?" 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.
$9K in lifetime turnover and $3K of resting liquidity puts this market in the below the median by volume for forsen contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is thin — large orders may need to be split across the book or executed as limit orders.
Last 24 hours alone saw $4K in turnover, well above the lifetime daily-average for this market — a clear sign of news catalysing trader activity right now.
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.
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 1 July 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.

Regulatory status varies by jurisdiction. Germany, the United States, and most EU countries treat Polymarket-style event contracts under one of three frameworks: financial derivative, gambling product, or unregulated novel asset. Consult local counsel before trading.
