Prediction Market Cycles (Stages)

The Polls Prediction Market operates through several distinct stages:

• Upcoming Stage: Polls with key dates and information are visible. Users can prepare but cannot place predict yet.

• Voting Stage: Eligible users can cast their predictions.

• Freeze Stage: Predictions have closed; users cannot vote while awaiting the event outcome.

• In Progress Stage: The event outcome is being determined; users cannot predict.

• Validation Stage: Validators review and vote on the proposed outcomes.

• Finished Stage: The final result is determined, and rewards are distributed.
