Creator Responsibilities

A creator's role does not end when a market is published.

On Signa, creators are responsible for both market quality and parts of the resolution process.

1. Write a clear market

Creators are responsible for publishing markets that users can actually understand.

That means:

• the question should be specific
• the outcomes should be unambiguous
• the rules should explain how the result will be interpreted

Poor market design creates resolution problems later.

2. Set appropriate timing

Creators are also responsible for setting timing that makes sense for the event:

• participation should have a meaningful open window
• the close time should fit the event being predicted
• the resolution window should be realistic

Timing is not just an operational detail. It shapes how users trust the market.

3. Monitor your markets

After creation, your markets are visible in the Created tab in Portfolio. Each entry shows the market's current state, total value locked, number of trades, and fees earned so far.

The Created tab in Portfolio lists every market you have launched, with live status, TVL, and fees earned.

Signa sends a notification when a market you created enters the settlement window. The bell icon in the top-right shows pending notifications.

A notification appears when your market is ready to settle. Tap View to go directly to the market.

4. Settle the market responsibly

After the event ends, creators are expected to submit a settlement result within the required time window, according to the market rules and the real-world outcome.

This is one of the most important creator responsibilities because settlement is where market quality is tested in practice.

When the settlement window opens

When the settlement window is open, the market shows a Settling banner. Scroll down to the settlement panel to submit your result.

The Settling banner appears at the top of the market page once the settlement window is open.

Submitting a result

In the settlement panel: select the correct outcome from the dropdown, enter evidence (a URL, snapshot, or official source that supports your result), and tap Submit result.

Select the correct outcome, add evidence, and optionally check Lock result before submitting.

Lock result is optional. If checked, the dispute window starts immediately when you submit — the result cannot be changed after that. If unchecked, you can revise your result within the settlement window before locking it.

After submitting a result, there is a time window during which the creator can revise their selection. Once the window expires or the creator explicitly submits with Lock result checked, the result is final. This mechanism gives creators room to correct a mistake if they identify one, while protecting participants through a clearly defined point of no return — once locked, no one can alter the result after the dispute period begins.

Checking Lock result makes your submission final immediately and opens the dispute window. The tooltip confirms this before you proceed.

Once the result is locked and submitted, a confirmation banner appears and the market moves to Dispute Period.

The confirmation banner appears when the result is locked. The dispute window is now open.

The market enters Dispute Period. The provisional result is shown and the dispute window countdown is visible.

Settling on time also has direct economic consequences. Creator earnings accumulate during the market's participation phase but remain locked until the creator submits a settlement. If the creator does not settle within the allowed window, those locked earnings are forfeited to the protocol treasury — and the market is automatically voided, meaning all participants receive refunds instead of normal payouts.

5. Support clean resolution

Creators should expect that markets may be questioned if the outcome is unclear or the proposed result is disputed.

That is why creators should publish markets with resolution in mind from day one, not only with growth in mind.

6. Understand that rewards and responsibility are linked

Creator earnings are part of the public product model, but they are tied to a role with obligations. Signa does not frame creator earnings as free upside detached from post-market responsibility.

7. What happens if creators do not act well

When creators publish weak markets or fail to support proper resolution, user trust drops and escalation risk rises.

That affects:

• the individual market
• participant confidence
• the health of the broader product
