Claim & Redeem
This guide explains how to collect your winnings from resolved prediction markets on Conviction.
When a Market Resolves
- A market is resolved when the real-world event outcome is officially determined.
- The winning outcome is declared (e.g., YES wins, or a specific outcome in a categorical market).
- Winning shares become redeemable for $1.00 each.
- Losing shares become worthless — their value is $0.00.
How to Claim Winnings
- Go to your Portfolio page, or navigate directly to the resolved market page.
- You will see your positions in resolved markets, with a status indicating the outcome.
- Click "Redeem" on the winning position.
- Your winning shares are burned (removed from your wallet) and USDC is credited to your Trading Wallet.
- The payout is calculated as: Payout = Number of Winning Shares x $1.00
Example
You hold 50 YES shares in a market that resolved YES.
- Payout: 50 shares x $1.00 = $50.00 USDC
- The 50 YES shares are burned from your Trading Wallet.
- $50.00 USDC is added to your Trading Wallet balance.
Batch Redeem
If you have winning positions across multiple resolved markets, you can redeem them all at once.
- Navigate to your Portfolio page.
- Select "Redeem All" to batch-redeem all eligible winning positions.
- This saves time compared to redeeming each position individually.
- A single transaction covers all redemptions.
Cancelled Markets
In some cases, a market may be cancelled (e.g., the event did not take place, or the market was created in error).
- When a market is cancelled, all shares (both YES and NO) can be redeemed.
- Shares are redeemed at the price at the time of cancellation, not at $1.00.
- For example, if YES was trading at 60¢ when the market was cancelled, YES shares are redeemed at 60¢ each and NO shares at 40¢ each.
