## Quick Answer

  **Opinion.trade is the live prediction exchange in the wider OPINION ecosystem.** Users trade outcome shares linked to real-world events. Prices can be read as the market's current implied probabilities, but they are not guarantees. Before trading, verify the official app, read the market's exact resolution rules, check liquidity and fees, and confirm that you are eligible to use the product.

## Product and Account Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What is Opinion.trade?">
    Opinion.trade is the live prediction exchange within the broader OPINION ecosystem. Users buy and sell shares tied to possible outcomes of real-world events. The wider stack also includes Opinion AI, Opinion Metapool and Opinion Protocol. Start with [What Is OPINION?](/learn/what-is-opinion-prediction-market) for the full entity map.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is OPINION the same as Opinion.trade?">
    Not exactly. **OPINION** refers to the wider ecosystem and technology stack. **Opinion.trade** is the user-facing exchange. **Opinion AI** is the market-definition and oracle layer. **OPN** is the utility token described for the ecosystem.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What is the official Opinion.trade website?">
    The verified live application is [app.opinion.trade](https://app.opinion.trade/). The main domain is [opinion.trade](https://opinion.trade/), the product documentation is [docs.opinion.trade](https://docs.opinion.trade/) and this learning center is [blog.opinion.trade](https://blog.opinion.trade/). Use the maintained [official-links directory](/learn/official-opinion-trade-links) before connecting a wallet or account.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I create or connect an account?">
    Current official Docs describe two routes: connect a Google or X social account, or connect a supported Web3 wallet. Follow the options displayed in the verified app because supported methods can change. Never provide a seed phrase or private key to log in.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need a Web3 wallet?">
    Not necessarily. The current [social-account guide](https://docs.opinion.trade/trade-on-opinion.trade/connect-with-social-account) also describes Google and X connection. If you use a wallet, review every connection and signature request and verify that it comes from `app.opinion.trade`.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Trading and Price Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How does an Opinion prediction market work?">
    A market defines a question, possible outcomes, closing time and resolution rules. Traders place orders to buy or sell outcome shares. Prices change as orders match and information changes. After the event, the market is resolved under its published rules and the winning outcome settles accordingly.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does a price of 65 cents mean a 65% chance?">
    It is commonly interpreted that way. The official price guide says a Yes share at 65c suggests an implied probability of about 65% based on current trading activity. It remains a market signal—not a promise that the event will happen.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What is the difference between a market order and a limit order?">
    A market order prioritizes immediate execution against available liquidity. A limit order specifies the price you will accept and may wait, fill partially or never fill. In both cases, review the order preview, spread, depth, quantity, fee and maximum loss before confirming.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I sell before the market resolves?">
    Yes. Official Docs state that a filled position can be bought or sold before the market closes. The price you can obtain depends on available liquidity and the order book, so an early exit is not guaranteed at the displayed last price. Read [Trade Before Resolution](/learn/trade-before-resolution).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I lose the full amount I spend?">
    Yes. If you hold a losing outcome through final resolution, its settlement value may be zero. Selling earlier may reduce or realize a loss, but depends on liquidity. Use only an amount you can afford to lose.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Fees, Minimums and Liquidity

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What fees does Opinion.trade charge?">
    The current official policy charges takers while makers are generally not charged. The taker rate follows a market- and price-sensitive curve and can be affected by discounts and a minimum fee. Read [Opinion Fees Explained](/learn/opinion-fees-explained), then verify the live order preview and [official fee page](https://docs.opinion.trade/trade-on-opinion.trade/fees).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What is the minimum Opinion.trade order?">
    As reviewed on September 2, 2026, official Docs list a **$5 minimum order**, **$0.5 minimum fee** and **\$5 minimum withdrawal**, subject to change during abnormal network conditions. The live interface is the current source of truth.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why can my execution price differ from the displayed price?">
    The displayed or last-traded price does not guarantee that enough shares are available there. A market order can fill across several prices. The spread and order-book depth determine the actual execution cost. See [Order Books, Spreads and Liquidity](/learn/order-book-spread-liquidity).
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Resolution and Opinion AI

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How are Opinion markets resolved?">
    Each market page specifies its own resolution method, evidence and exceptional-case rules. Current official Docs say most markets use Opinion AI as the primary oracle. Read the exact market rules rather than assuming every market follows one universal process.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What does Opinion AI do?">
    Opinion AI helps at both ends of the market lifecycle: it can assist with precise, resolvable market rules before trading and evaluate relevant evidence when an outcome must be determined. The public architecture also describes multiple models or agents, trusted execution environments and human review. See [How the Opinion AI Oracle Works](/learn/how-opinion-ai-oracle-works).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can an Opinion market result be disputed?">
    The current product documents a time-limited dispute process after a result is proposed. A user should read the market page and current [resolution and dispute guide](/learn/opinion-market-resolution-and-disputes) before the window closes; old screenshots or summaries may not reflect the controlling process.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Safety, Availability and Access

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Is Opinion.trade legit?">
    Opinion.trade has a live product, public documentation, technical materials and linked third-party smart-contract audits. Those are meaningful verification signals, but they do not remove trading, liquidity, wallet, smart-contract, resolution or jurisdiction risk. Use the evidence-based [Is Opinion.trade Legit?](/learn/is-opinion-trade-legit) checklist.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is Opinion.trade safe?">
    No trading platform should be described as risk-free. Verify the domain, review current audits and Terms, understand the account or wallet model, read every market's rules and confirm each transaction. The [custody and fund-safety guide](/learn/opinion-custody-and-fund-safety) separates platform controls from user responsibilities.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is Opinion.trade available in my country?">
    Availability depends on current Terms, age requirements, product controls and jurisdiction. Do not infer eligibility from whether a webpage loads. Check [Where Is Opinion.trade Available?](/learn/opinion-availability-and-eligibility) and the controlling Terms before using the product.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Where can developers access Opinion market data?">
    Developers should use [docs.opinion.trade](https://docs.opinion.trade/) for the current Open API, WebSocket and CLOB SDK documentation. This Blog explains concepts for users; the developer Docs are authoritative for endpoints, authentication, models and integration details.
  </Accordion>
