Starmark employs an optimistic oracle combined with a dispute resolution mechanism. The process is as follows:

1. Proposal Phase

• After the event concludes, anyone can submit a resolution proposal.

• The proposer selects the winning outcome and submits it to the UMA Optimistic Oracle.

2. Challenge Period

• A 2-hour challenge window begins after the proposal is submitted.

• Anyone may dispute the proposal by posting an equal bond.

• If no dispute is raised: The proposal is automatically accepted, the market is resolved immediately, and the proposer recovers their bond plus a reward.

3. Dispute Escalation

• First dispute: The system automatically resets and initiates a new proposal round.

• Second dispute: Enters a 24–48 hour debate period, during which participants may submit evidence via the official Discord/forum.

• Final resolution is determined by a UMA DVM token-holder vote (approximately 48 hours).
