What is Redemption?

When a prediction market resolves (the outcome is known), your shares can be redeemed:
  • Winning shares are worth $1.00 each โ€” you can redeem them for USDC
  • Losing shares are worth $0.00 โ€” they expire automatically
Redemption converts your winning shares back to USDC in your wallet.

How It Works

1

Market resolves

The market outcome is determined (e.g., โ€œYesโ€ wins). This can take minutes to days depending on the event and any disputes.
2

Position becomes redeemable

A Redeem banner appears on your Portfolio page showing your redeemable positions and their total value.
3

Click Redeem

Click Redeem on individual positions or Redeem All to collect everything at once. USDC is sent to your wallet.

Auto-Redeem

FrenFlow can automatically redeem winning positions as soon as markets resolve:
  1. Go to Settings โ†’ Trading
  2. Enable Auto-Redeem
When enabled, FrenFlow checks for redeemable positions periodically and redeems them without any action from you.
Auto-redeem is recommended. It ensures you collect your winnings immediately without having to check manually.

Manual Redemption

If you prefer to redeem manually:
  1. Go to Portfolio โ†’ Positions
  2. Redeemable positions show a green Redeem card at the top
  3. Click Redeem on each position, or Redeem All
From Telegram, redeemable positions appear when you use /positions with a Redeem button.

Common Questions

Redemption is a blockchain transaction on Polygon. It typically completes in 5โ€“30 seconds. Your balance updates once the transaction confirms.
No. Losing shares (worth $0) expire automatically. Theyโ€™ll disappear from your portfolio after the market resolves. No action needed.
Once a market resolves, the orderbook closes โ€” no more buyers or sellers. The only way to collect your winnings is to redeem.
Some markets go through a dispute/voting process via UMA Oracle before resolving. During disputes, you cannot redeem. Once voting completes and the market settles, redemption becomes available.
No. Redemption is free โ€” you receive the full $1.00 per winning share. Gas fees on Polygon are negligible (fractions of a cent).
The market may still be in the settlement window. Polymarket markets have a short delay between resolution and redemption availability. Check back in a few minutes. If it persists, the market may be under UMA dispute.
