After a market is resolved, winners can redeem their position for SOL. Payouts are based on your weighted deposit, not your token balance.
Your payout is proportional to your weighted deposit on the winning side:
distributable_sol = total SOL deposited by both sides, minus accumulated creator fees.
Deposits made earlier in a market's lifetime receive a bonus multiplier on their weighted deposit — up to 25% for deposits placed immediately after market creation, linearly decaying to 0% at expiry.
bonus = 25% × time_remaining / market_duration
weighted_deposit = deposit × (1 + bonus)
This means early bettors earn a larger share of the winning pot, rewarding conviction. Two users depositing the same SOL will get different returns if one deposited earlier.
If any SOL remains in the vault after all winners have claimed (due to rounding or unclaimed positions), the market creator can reclaim it when closing the market after the 7-day grace period.
