# Market Eligibility

Not every prediction market is suitable for an Astaria perpetual.

Astaria applies eligibility checks before listing an event-linked perp market.

## Quantitative Suitability

A market may be evaluated based on observable characteristics such as:

* Available liquidity
* Depth near the midpoint
* Trading activity
* Price stability
* Resolution timing
* Expected jump risk

## Qualitative Suitability

Astaria may also assess qualitative risks, including:

* Ambiguous resolution wording
* Oracle uncertainty
* Dispute history
* Cross-market manipulation concerns
* Event integrity risks

## Listing Decision

A market may be:

* Approved for listing
* Approved with tighter margin and lower leverage
* Deferred pending more liquidity or clarity
* Rejected if the event is unsuitable for perpetual trading

Market eligibility exists to ensure that leverage is only offered where the underlying event structure can support it.
