Orders are created through the API and processed asynchronously through multiple stages. The system handles the complete lifecycle from order creation to on-chain token execution.
Order creation requires both JWT authentication and an API key. Make sure to include both the Authorization: Bearer <token> header and the x-api-key header in your requests.

Order Types

Buy Orders:
  • Purchase market positions (e.g., buying “yes” on a market)
  • Requires USDC balance in your smart wallet
  • When filled, ERC-1155 tokens are minted to your wallet
Sell Orders:
  • Sell existing market positions
  • Requires ERC-1155 token balance in your smart wallet
  • When filled, tokens are burned from your wallet

Order Flow

Orders progress through these stages automatically:
  1. Create Order - Submit order details via API
    • Market ID, side, quantity, price
    • For buy orders: quote amount (USDC to lock)
    • Order is created with status “pending”
  2. Balance Validation - System validates and locks required funds
    • Buy orders: Locks USDC in your smart wallet
    • Sell orders: Validates you hold the required ERC-1155 tokens
    • Status changes to “validated”
  3. Prediction Market Execution - Order is placed on the prediction market exchange
    • Order submitted to the prediction market with your credentials
    • Prediction market order ID is stored
    • Status changes to “placed”
  4. Fill Detection - System monitors for order fills
    • Polls the prediction market API for fill status
    • When filled, captures fill details (price, quantity, cost)
    • Status changes to “filled”
  5. On-chain Execution - Tokens are minted or burned
    • Buy orders: ERC-1155 tokens minted to your wallet
    • Sell orders: ERC-1155 tokens burned from your wallet
    • Transaction hash is stored
    • Status changes to “txn_filled” then “completed”

Order Parameters

  • Market ID - The prediction market identifier
  • Side - The outcome side (“yes”, “no”, etc.)
  • Order Type - “buy” or “sell”
  • Quantity - Number of contracts/shares
  • Price - Price in cents (1-99), limit price with slippage tolerance
  • Quote Amount - USDC amount to lock (required for buy orders only)
Orders are processed asynchronously. Use the order status endpoint to track progress through each stage.
