# { "Depends": "py-genlayer:1jb45aa8ynh2a9c9xn3b7qqh8sm5q93hwfp7jqmwsfhh8jpz09h6" } """ Scuttlebutt — RumorCourt A real-time natural-language claim-verification market. Validators research the live web, reach consensus on TRUE / FALSE / UNVERIFIABLE, and stakers are paid with a time-decay weighting. TIME-DECAY PAYOUT FORMULA ------------------------- Stakes on the winning side earn their original principal back plus a share of the losing side's pool. The share is proportional to a time-weighted stake, so earlier (correct) stakes earn more: remaining_i = resolved_at - stake_timestamp_i # seconds still # left when you staked weight_i = amount_i * (remaining_i + 1) # +1 so a last- # second stake # is never zero payout_i = amount_i + (weight_i * losing_pool) // total_winner_weight Integer division dust stays in the contract (no admin drain). If the verdict is UNVERIFIABLE every staker is refunded `amount` in full (no decay, no redistribution). If nobody staked on the winning side the losing pool is left in the contract — there is no owner/backdoor to sweep it. Weights are snapshotted at resolve time (`total_winner_weight`, `losing_pool`) so withdraw is O(1) per user and replay-safe.
