# FAQ

***

## General

<details>

<summary>What is Byreal Predict?</summary>

Byreal Predict is a prediction market built on Polymarket. You trade Yes/No shares on real-world events. Correct positions pay out at $1.00 per share. Incorrect positions expire at $0.00.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Is Byreal Predict available in my country?</summary>

Byreal Predict is not available for trading in the United States, United Kingdom, or France. Users in restricted regions can view markets but cannot place orders. This is a regulatory requirement.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Who runs the markets?</summary>

Markets are operated by Polymarket on Polygon. Byreal Predict provides the front-end interface and bridges your Solana funds directly into Polymarket's order book. All liquidity is shared across the full Polymarket ecosystem.

</details>

## Funds and Fees

<details>

<summary>What token do I use to trade?</summary>

Prediction markets settle in pUSD, Polymarket's USDC-backed stablecoin on Polygon. When you bridge USDC from Solana, it is converted to pUSD automatically. pUSD is always redeemable 1:1 with USDC.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What does bridging cost?</summary>

The bridge fee is approximately 3.5% of the amount transferred. Bridging takes approximately 30 seconds. A fee also applies when withdrawing back to Solana.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What fees apply when I trade?</summary>

Byreal charges a builder fee on taker orders (market orders and limit orders that fill immediately). There are no fees for limit orders that rest in the book without immediately filling.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Are my funds safe while bridging?</summary>

The bridge is powered by [fun.xyz](https://fun.xyz/). Funds are non-custodial throughout the transfer. In the unlikely event of a bridge failure, funds are not lost but may take longer to process. Contact Byreal support if a bridge transaction does not complete within five minutes.

</details>

## Trading

<details>

<summary>What is the difference between a Market and Limit order?</summary>

A Market order fills immediately at the best available price. A Limit order sits in the book until your target price is reached. Use Limit orders to control your entry price.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I sell before a market resolves?</summary>

Yes. You can sell your shares at any time the market is open, at the current market price.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How does TP/SL work?</summary>

Take Profit and Stop Loss are server-side automations. Byreal monitors your position's current price every few seconds. When the price crosses your trigger level, a sell order is submitted automatically. Execution is best-effort, not guaranteed at an exact price, particularly in fast or low-liquidity conditions.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What happens if a match is postponed or cancelled?</summary>

If a match is cancelled or postponed beyond the original market resolution window, Polymarket resolves the market as invalid and all shares are returned at $0.50 (half of $1.00). This means traders receive 50% of their position value back.

</details>

<details>

<summary>When do markets resolve?</summary>

Match winner markets resolve after the match ends and the official result is confirmed. Group and tournament markets resolve after the final match in that stage. Resolution typically takes a few hours after the event ends.

</details>

## Security

<details>

<summary>Does Byreal hold my funds?</summary>

No. Your predict wallet is non-custodial, powered by [Privy](https://privy.io/). Private keys are split across Privy's secure infrastructure and your device. Byreal never has direct access to your keys or funds.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What will Byreal Predict never do?</summary>

* Ask for your private key or seed phrase
* Move your funds without your explicit confirmation
* Guarantee a specific payout or trading outcome
