Portfolio, settlement, Claim, and Void

Your Portfolio

Your $GOLD positions live in your Portfolio. During Orientation, press Open your book, or talk to Coinbroker Nori in the plaza and choose See my book whenever you need to reopen it.

The name in the top bar opens Character, which is a different panel. Without a wallet it only offers to connect one; connected, it shows the $GOLD trading summary, tier, rank, recent activity, and positions alongside your avatar. Press the portrait or Customize to change the avatar.

The Portfolio can show:

  • Your $GOLD equity, combining the purse with positions that have a price
  • The YES/NO shares you hold, what they cost, and what they are worth now
  • Profit and loss, both settled and still open
  • The current season card

Everything in the halls and the five-minute arena is bought and settled through the $GOLD ledger. There is no Sell and no Claim: a position runs to settlement and the payout lands in your $GOLD balance on its own. If a market has no current price, its value may be missing or marked as unpriced.

Older on-chain $DEN market positions are a separate surface. Talk to Pawnbroker Much to see the holdings that can still be closed early and the refund each would return. They are never added to the $GOLD Portfolio; adding a $GOLD figure to a $DEN one would produce a number in no currency at all.

The season card

At the top of the portfolio is where you stand this season: rank, return, season P&L, and the capital you put in. These are the figures the prize is decided by, and they are not the same as the lifetime numbers below them: the season's return is this season's P&L over this season's capital, while the lifetime ROI counts everything you have ever done. Both are true; only one is ranked.

If you are not yet ranked for a prize, the card says which of the two floors you have left rather than just "not eligible". They fail for different reasons. One wants you to stake $DEN in the duelling hall at least once (the prize is $DEN, so the ring is what qualifies you). The other wants enough settled markets and staked $GOLD for a percentage to mean anything.

Between seasons the Sherwood Board falls back to an all-time list, and it ranks the same way: $GOLD, by return rather than by profit. $GOLD is bought with $DEN, so a board headlining the largest pile would be a board the largest purse could buy. Dividing by what you put in means buying more raises the bar instead of clearing it.

Normal settlement

A $GOLD bet pays itself out. There is no Claim button, so do not go looking for one. When the outcome is recorded, the house credits your purse: each winning share is worth exactly 1 $GOLD, losing shares are worth nothing, and the position is marked settled. Nothing to press, nothing to sign, and it happens whether or not you are logged in.

If a payout has not arrived, the question has not settled yet, see when it settles below.

Older $DEN chain markets settle on chain rather than through the $GOLD ledger. The current player-facing route provided for those holdings is Pawnbroker Much's early-close surface; the Portfolio opened by Nori is the $GOLD book and does not offer an older $DEN Claim.

When a round settles

Settlement waits on the source, not on a clock of ours. Most rounds land within a few minutes of ending (the measured middle is about three minutes) but there is no upper bound: a slow source has taken hours, and a $GOLD bet simply waits for it. It is not cancelled for being late.

Void

A market goes Void only when the source itself cancels the question.

  • For a $GOLD bet, a void returns what you paid for the shares you are still holding.
  • For an older $DEN market, a void pays back your share of the pot instead, which (because prices move) can be more or less than what you paid.
  • Void payouts with a real wallet have not been verified yet, so do not treat this as a guarantee.
