Each prediction follows a structured lifecycle from creation to final reward distribution.

​
1. Prediction creation

The prediction is created by the API owner through the Duel Duck API dashboard. During creation, the prediction configuration is defined, including:
  • question;
  • deadline;
  • currency;
  • pricing model;
  • fee settings;
  • image and metadata.
Once published, the prediction becomes available to users on the platform.

​
2. User participation

Users participate by connecting their crypto wallets and selecting either Yes or No. Depending on the prediction configuration:
  • users either pay a fixed amount per vote;
  • or choose their own stake within a predefined range.
When a vote is submitted, the transaction is processed on-chain through the smart contract. User funds are temporarily allocated within the prediction pool until the prediction is resolved.

​
3. Voting close

After the deadline is reached, voting is automatically closed and no additional participation is allowed. At this stage, the total liquidity and vote distribution remain locked until the final outcome is resolved.

​
4. Prediction resolution

Once the real-world event occurs, the prediction is resolved with the correct outcome — Yes or No. The resolution process determines which side won and triggers the settlement process through the smart contract infrastructure.

​
5. Reward distribution

After resolution:
  • platform fees are automatically deducted according to the configured commission settings;
  • winning users receive their original stake back;
  • additional rewards are distributed from the losing side’s pool.
All payouts are processed automatically on-chain without manual fund distribution.
