Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve to "Yes" if Xi Jinping meets with one or more Iranian government officials by May 15, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". A meeting is defined as any encounter where both Xi and one or more Iranian government officials are present and interact with each other in person. An exchange of words, handshake, direct conversation, or other clear personal interaction between the named individuals will qualify as a meeting. Merely standing in proximity, making eye contact, or being present in the same room or event without direct interaction will not qualify. The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.
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
| Xi meets with Iranian officials by May 15? | 1% YES | 99% NO |
The question centres on whether Xi Jinping will have a direct, in-person meeting with Iranian government officials between now and mid-May 2026. The resolution criteria require clear personal interaction—conversation, handshake, or exchange of words—rather than mere proximity at a shared event. The current order book on Polymarket prices this outcome at 1% implied probability, reflecting substantial scepticism among traders about such an encounter occurring within the specified timeframe.
Historical precedent suggests high-level China-Iran diplomatic engagement typically occurs through scheduled state visits or multilateral forums rather than ad-hoc meetings. Xi last visited Iran in 2016, with the most recent significant bilateral interaction occurring at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in 2023. Comparable diplomatic meetings between Chinese and Iranian leadership have generally been planned months in advance, with formal announcements preceding them. The 1% probability reflects the compressed timeline—approximately eighteen months—and the absence of any publicly signalled plans for such a meeting as of early 2025.
Traders monitoring this market should track announcements regarding Xi's international travel schedule, particularly any official state visits to the Middle East or multilateral summits where Iranian officials might attend. The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation's 2026 calendar and any extraordinary diplomatic initiatives following shifts in US-Iran relations would constitute material catalysts. Chinese state media typically announces high-level foreign visits well in advance, making surprise meetings unlikely. The low probability also incorporates the reality that formal bilateral meetings of this calibre require extensive diplomatic preparation and scheduling coordination.
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 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 1%. The number updates continuously as the order book clears. PolyGram mirrors the same live odds with locale-aware formatting and USDC settlement.
