About This Event
This market will resolve to "Up" if the time-weighted average price (TWAP) of ZCash, generated by Chainlink, of the time range specified in the title is greater than or equal to the price at the beginning of that range. Otherwise, it will resolve to "Down". The resolution source for this market is information from Chainlink, specifically the ZEC/USD TWAP data stream available at https://data.chain.link/streams/zec-usd-twap-60s-streams. Please note that this market is about the price according to the TWAP Chainlink data stream for the asset pair ZEC/USD, not according to any other sources or spot markets.

What the contract measures
This is a single short-window contract on ZCash, titled "ZCash Up or Down - October 20, 3:45AM-3:50AM ET" [1]. The rules state that the market "will resolve to "Up" if the time-weighted average price (TWAP) of ZCash, generated by Chainlink, of the time range specified in the title is greater than or equal to the price at the beginning of that range. Otherwise, it will resolve to "Down"" [1]. The named resolution source is the ZEC/USD TWAP data stream, and the rules say the market is "about the price according to the TWAP Chainlink data stream for the asset pair ZEC/USD, not according to any other sources or spot markets" [1].
The listed end time is 2026-10-20T07:50:00.000Z [1]. That timestamp is the contract's closing time, not a resolution. The evidence does not show a resolution outcome.
Reading the snapshot
The provider observed this market at 2026-10-19T09:00:05.974Z, and the record was retrieved at 2026-10-19T09:28:18.072Z [1]. The saved status was "active" [1]. These are snapshot times, so the prices below describe that observation and do not show the market's current state.
The saved prices are Up at 0.5 and Down at 0.5 [1]. Because the two outcomes are equal in this snapshot, the data indicates no preference between them at that moment. It does not show a probability forecast, and these figures are not executable quotes. The evidence does not include volume, order book depth, or trader counts, so it cannot describe liquidity or market participation.
Coverage is limited to one event with one market, and the sample is not partial [1]. Because only this contract was saved, no comparison with other ZCash windows or other platforms is possible from this evidence.
What remains uncertain
The evidence does not establish how the TWAP compares with the starting price during the 3:45 to 3:50 AM ET window, since the window had not closed at retrieval. It also does not explain any price movement, and it does not show whether the market has traded since the snapshot. The sample warning notes that providers may not list every possible outcome, though this binary contract shows only Up and Down [1]. Readers should check the live rules and Chainlink data stream directly before drawing conclusions about the outcome.

Saved Oct 19, 2026 UTCOverview
This Polymarket event is a short-window price contract on ZCash, quoted against US dollars (ZEC/USD). Its title, "ZCash Up or Down - October 20, 3:45AM-3:50AM ET", names a five-minute window. The rules say the market resolves to "Up" if the time-weighted average price (TWAP) of ZCash over that window is greater than or equal to the price at the start of the window. Otherwise it resolves to "Down" [1]. The contract therefore compares an average over the window with a starting reference point, not a single price printed at the close. The resolution source is named in the rules as Chainlink's ZEC/USD TWAP data stream, with a 60-second TWAP configuration [1]. The rules also state that only this Chainlink data stream counts, not other sources or spot markets [1]. A trader reading the contract should therefore focus on that specific feed rather than on a price quoted elsewhere for ZCash. The listed end time is 2026-10-20T07:50:00Z, which corresponds to 3:50 AM Eastern time on October 20 [1]. That is the time the provider lists for the market to end. It is not evidence that the market has closed or resolved, and the saved record does not show a resolution outcome. The status recorded for the event is active [1]. The market shows an "Up" price of 0.5 and a "Down" price of 0.5 in the saved snapshot [1]. These figures were observed at 2026-10-19T09:00:05Z and were retrieved at 09:28:18Z on the same day. They describe the state of the order book at that earlier time. They are not live prices, executable quotes, or verified probabilities.
Why It Matters
The contract measures the direction of ZCash's price over a specific five-minute window, as defined by a named data feed [1]. Because the outcome depends on a time-weighted average compared with the window's opening reference, a brief rise or fall within the window may not decide the result on its own. The rules specify which data stream is used, so the contract is sensitive to that feed's methodology and timing rather than to general market commentary [1]. Readers comparing this contract with other ZCash markets should check each contract's own window, reference point, and data source, since the rules for different windows may differ.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an "Up" outcome mean for this contract?
According to the rules, the market resolves to "Up" if the TWAP of ZCash over the window in the title is greater than or equal to the price at the beginning of that window [1].
Which price source determines the result?
The rules name Chainlink's ZEC/USD TWAP data stream as the resolution source, and state that other sources and spot markets are not the basis for resolution [1].
When does this market end?
The provider lists an end time of 2026-10-20T07:50:00Z, which is 3:50 AM Eastern on October 20 [1]. The listed end time is not a record that the market has resolved.
Does a price of 0.5 mean a 50 percent chance of an Up result?
The saved prices for the Up and Down outcomes were both 0.5 at the observation time [1]. These are snapshot prices, not verified probabilities or executable quotes, so they should not be read as a confirmed chance of either outcome.
