How PepOra Works

🔋 Credits — the fuel of PepOra

All activity on PepOra is powered by credits. Credits are the internal unit used for betting, payouts and fees.

Credits can be purchased through the PepOra Credit Core using either PEPU or $PepOra. Once acquired, credits are used internally and can later be withdrawn back to tokens.

📊 Market types

Token markets are resolved automatically by the PepOra Oracle. These markets have no creator decision and no dispute phase.

Custom markets are resolved by the creator with built-in community challenge protection.

🆓 Market creation

Creating a market on PepOra is completely free. There are no creation fees, no deposits and no upfront costs.

Anyone can create a prediction market and contribute to the ecosystem without financial barriers.

🔒 Betting phase & lock

Every market uses a creator-defined betting lock percentage. Once the lock is reached, betting stops permanently.

⏳ Custom market resolution & dispute phase

Custom markets are more flexible than token markets. Because real-world outcomes can be subjective, PepOra uses a clear resolution flow to keep things fair.

Once a custom market ends, the creator has 12 hours to propose the outcome (YES or NO).

Dispute phase (community protection):
If bettors believe the creator chose the wrong outcome, they can dispute it during the 24 hour dispute window. A dispute must include a clear reason and, if possible, supporting proof (for example: a link, screenshot, announcement, transaction, official result, etc.).

Who can dispute?
Only wallets that placed a bet on that market can open a dispute. This prevents random outsiders from spamming disputes.

What happens during a dispute?
While a market is disputed, the outcome is frozen. The creator cannot change anything, and no one can “force settle” early. The market waits for a final decision.

Auto-dispute on timeout:
If the creator does not resolve within 12 hours, the market is automatically disputed and escalated for review. This ensures markets never get stuck.

Admin final decision:
If a dispute happens (or creator times out), PepOra admins review the situation, evaluate evidence, and set the final outcome (YES/NO). Once admins resolve, the market becomes final.

🎯 Creator incentives & fees

PepOra rewards market creators for contributing high-quality, clearly defined prediction markets.

Market creation itself is always free — fees only apply after successful market settlement.

For every settled market, the creator receives a 5% creator fee, calculated on the total market pool.

This fee is paid in credits and can be withdrawn like any other balance.

⚠️ Creator eligibility rules

To prevent conflicts of interest and manipulation, the following rules are strictly enforced:

• If a creator places a bet on their own market, the creator fee is forfeited
• If the creator's proposed outcome is incorrect, the creator fee is forfeited
• Forfeited creator fees are redirected to the PepOra treasury

💰 Automatic payouts

Once a market is finalized, payouts are settled automatically. Winning bettors receive credits directly in their balance.

🧩 Edge cases & guarantees

PepOra enforces deterministic outcomes in all scenarios:

• No refunds once a market is live
• If no winning bets exist, the entire pool is captured by the protocol
• No liquidity risk for users
• All actions are recorded in an immutable ledger
