Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I vote for the losing option?

If you vote for the losing option, your deposit goes into the reward pool for winners. This is what creates the incentive for accurate predictions.

How is the winning option determined?

It depends on the poll type. For prediction polls, the outcome is verified against real-world events. For opinion polls, the option with the most votes wins.

What are the fees?

Truth Poll charges a small platform fee (typically 2-5%) on reward distributions. You'll also pay standard blockchain gas fees for transactions on Base L2, which are very low.

Why do I need to verify my identity?

KYC verification ensures one person = one vote. This prevents manipulation through multiple accounts and makes poll results more reliable.

How long does verification take?

Most verifications complete in under 2 minutes. You'll need a valid government-issued ID and your phone's camera.

Can I withdraw my deposit before the poll ends?

No, deposits are locked until the poll resolves. This ensures everyone has skin in the game and prevents strategic withdrawals.
