A simple example
You buy 100 YES tokens at 40 cents each, paying 40 USDC in total. When the market resolves, one of two things happens:- The event occurs → your tokens settle at 1 USDC each → your 100 tokens are worth 100 USDC.
- The event does not occur → your tokens settle at 0 → your 100 tokens are worth 0 USDC.
