Security and Risk

Prediction markets involve risk of loss. Arenaton must stop new unsafe risk without seizing user assets.

Admins cannot:

  • Transfer user USDC.
  • Transfer user outcome shares.
  • Change user Smart Account owners.
  • Seize or freeze direct redemption.
  • Edit historical fills.
  • Change market terms after trading opens.
  • Resolve markets outside published rules.

Incident controls can pause new market creation, pause new order intake, disable paymaster sponsorship, hide affected markets, move markets to close-only where rules allow, delay finalization during a correction window, and notify users.

Required product controls include self-exclusion, cool-off periods, trading limits, exposure limits, loss limit alerts, category controls, one-click cancel all, and close-only mode.

Self-exclusion blocks new exposure but should still allow cancellation, closing, and redemption where rules permit.

The exchange must prohibit insider trading, employee conflicts, wash trading, spoofing, self-trading, and manipulation of data sources or event outcomes.
