What does Prediction-market oracle mean?
A prediction-market oracle is a mechanism that supplies or verifies outcome information for settlement, particularly in blockchain-based markets. Some systems allow proposals and disputes before a result becomes final.
Example
An outcome is proposed to an oracle and enters a challenge period before settlement can complete.
Illustrative example; not a provider’s quoted offer.Why it matters for prop traders
Oracle design differs by venue; not every event market uses one. Read its finality and dispute process instead of assuming an immediate result.
