Astaria markets enter a dedicated Resolution Zone as the underlying event approaches final settlement. This mechanism exists because event-linked perpetuals do not behave like ordinary crypto perps near maturity. Prediction markets can collapse discretely to a terminal outcome of 0 or 1.

Stage 1: Leverage Compression

Before resolution, Astaria may reduce maximum leverage and require positions to become safer over time. This can include:
  • Lower maximum leverage
  • Additional margin requirements
  • Restrictions on opening new highly levered positions

Stage 2: Trading Halt

During the final pre-resolution window, Astaria may halt trading in the perpetual market. This can include:
  • No new orders accepted
  • Resting orders canceled
  • Open interest recorded for settlement

Stage 3: Cash Settlement

Once the event resolves, positions settle in cash based on the terminal outcome. If the underlying market resolves to:
  • 1, the event settles as true
  • 0, the event settles as false
Settlement may remain subject to a dispute window or oracle finality process where applicable.

Purpose

Resolution Zones are designed to reduce:
  • Terminal-jump liquidation risk
  • Disorderly execution in the final moments before resolution
  • Market instability caused by discrete event settlement
