All contracts resolve to either $1 (affirmative outcome) or $0 (negative outcome), settled in USDC.

Tax Implications for German Traders
Under German tax law, earnings derived from prediction market activity fall under sonstige Einkünfte (miscellaneous income) once annual gains surpass €256. Individuals should engage a qualified German tax specialist (Steuerberater) to establish compliant reporting protocols.
