Question 1

What is Unhedged?

Accepted Answer

Unhedged is a prediction markets platform built on Canton Network. Users can place bets on the outcomes of real-world events, from sports and politics to crypto prices and entertainment.

Question 2

How do I create an account?

Accepted Answer

Click the "Login" button in the navigation bar and connect your wallet — Loop, Console, or Phantom are all supported. Your account is automatically created based on your wallet address - no email or password required.

Question 3

How do I place a bet?

Accepted Answer

Browse the Markets page, select a market you're interested in, choose your predicted outcome, enter your bet amount, and confirm the transaction through your wallet.

Question 4

What currency do I use to bet?

Accepted Answer

Bets are placed using Canton Coin (CC), the native token of Canton Network. You can acquire CC through the Loop Wallet or supported exchanges. Phantom wallet users can also deposit USDC from Solana, which is converted to platform balance automatically.

Question 5

What are time-weighted payouts?

Accepted Answer

Early bettors receive higher potential rewards through our exponential decay system. The earlier you bet on the correct outcome, the larger your share of the winning pool. This incentivizes early participation and price discovery.

Question 6

Can I cancel or modify my bet?

Accepted Answer

Once a bet is confirmed on the Canton ledger, it cannot be cancelled or modified. This ensures the integrity and fairness of the market.

Question 7

Who creates the markets?

Accepted Answer

Markets are created by platform administrators. Each market goes through a review process to ensure clear resolution criteria and fair outcomes.

Question 8

How are markets resolved?

Accepted Answer

Markets are resolved by administrators based on publicly verifiable information. The resolution source is specified in each market's description. For sports and crypto markets, results are often automated based on official data feeds.

Question 9

What happens if a market is cancelled?

Accepted Answer

If a market is cancelled (e.g., due to an event being postponed indefinitely), all bets are refunded to the original wallets minus any transaction fees.

Question 10

How do payouts work?

Accepted Answer

Winnings are automatically transferred to your wallet when a market resolves. No manual action is required - just check your balance after resolution.

Question 11

Are there any fees?

Accepted Answer

The platform charges a small fee on winning bets (displayed before placing your bet). There are also network transaction fees for placing bets.

Question 12

What wallets are supported?

Accepted Answer

Unhedged supports Loop Wallet (Canton mobile app), Console Wallet (Canton browser extension), and Phantom (Solana browser extension). You can also sign in with email or Google. Each wallet type gives you full access to all prediction markets.

Question 13

Can I use Phantom / Solana?

Accepted Answer

Yes — connect your Phantom wallet to sign in and deposit USDC directly from Solana. No bridging or token swaps required on your end. Deposits are detected automatically and credited to your platform balance.

Question 14

Is my money safe?

Accepted Answer

All funds are held in smart contracts on Canton Network, not in centralized wallets controlled by Unhedged. This ensures that your funds can only be moved according to the programmed rules of the prediction market.

Question 15

What is the escrow system?

Accepted Answer

When you place a bet, your funds are locked in a user wallet escrow contract until the market resolves. This protects both bettors and ensures payouts can always be fulfilled.
