Finally, we reach the part where it matters what’s in our wallet.

Resolution is where disagreement funding is used to pay an invalidator like a researcher or journalist to resolve the disagreement.

Here we imagine that there exists an

oracle⁠

which is capable of saying how much certain information is worth.

In this case, the information provided to the oracle helps resolve the disagreement about whether

cigarettes are benign

⁠

in favor of

distrustors

⁠

, and is worth

$100

⁠

Upon resolution, any intrustments in the claim

Cigarettes are benign

⁠

will decrease in value:
