  • How long does resolution take?

    Minutes. At resolution time, Somnia Reactivity wakes the oracle, agent committees read the sources, and the answer is posted onchain. There is no dispute window.

  • What happens if a question can't be answered?

    The question is voided. A voided market pays out on a defined basis; on dreamDEX event contracts, each side redeems at 0.50.

  • Who decides the outcome?

    The Somnia Oracle. Committees of AI agents read the named sources inside Somnia consensus, and the answer is aggregated onchain with per-source receipts.

  • What if the sources disagree or are unavailable?
