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
The supplied contract is "ZCash Up or Down - October 20, 2:00AM-2:05AM ET" on Polymarket [1]. It resolves to "Up" if the time-weighted average price (TWAP) of ZCash, generated by Chainlink, over the time range in the title is greater than or equal to the price at the beginning of that range. Otherwise it resolves to "Down" [1]. The resolution source is the ZEC/USD TWAP data stream from Chainlink, and the rules state that the market concerns "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 2026-10-20T06:05:00.000Z [1]. That is the listed close for this contract, not a record of resolution. The supplied evidence does not include a resolution outcome.
Reading the snapshot
The provider observation time is 2026-10-19T09:00:05.974Z, and the source was retrieved at 2026-10-19T09:32:49.634Z [1]. The prices are a snapshot from that observation, not a live quote. The snapshot shows "Up" at 0.5 and "Down" at 0.5 [1]. These are the only two outcomes for this binary contract, and they are equal in the saved data. Because the snapshot is not executable and the evidence does not include bid, ask, or depth, these prices should not be read as verified probabilities or as a trading opportunity. The saved record does not include volume, so no conclusion about liquidity or trader activity can be drawn.
The sample covers one platform and one market. Coverage shows 1 total market, 1 included, and no partial sample [1]. The evidence states that all saved markets for this event are included, but it also says this "does not establish that the providers list every possible real-world outcome" [1]. No cross-platform comparison is possible from this record.
What remains uncertain
The evidence does not explain why the prices are equal, and it does not show any change over time. It also does not show the price of ZCash at the start or end of the window, the TWAP result, or the final resolution. Readers comparing this contract with other ZCash windows should note that each window has its own title, start and end times, and rules, so their prices should not be averaged or ranked together.

Saved Oct 19, 2026 UTCOverview
This is a short-window crypto contract on Polymarket asking whether the price of ZCash (ZEC) will move up or down over a five-minute period. The event is titled "ZCash Up or Down - October 20, 2:00AM-2:05AM ET" and is listed in the crypto category [1]. The provider's rules state that the market resolves to "Up" if the time-weighted average price of ZCash over the window in the title is greater than or equal to the price at the beginning of that window. Otherwise it resolves to "Down" [1]. The contract does not rely on general market prices. The rules specify that the resolution source is the ZEC/USD TWAP data stream published by Chainlink, and that other sources or spot markets do not determine the outcome [1]. Because the measure is an average over the window rather than a single price at the end, a move that reverses within the five minutes can affect the result in ways a simple start and end comparison would not. The event record was saved with an observation time of 2026-10-19T09:00:05.974Z and a retrieval time of 2026-10-19T09:32:49.679Z. The provider lists its status as active and gives a listed end time of 2026-10-20T06:05:00.000Z [1]. The listed end time is the contract closing time recorded in the provider's rules, not a separately announced event. The saved record shows two outcomes, Up and Down, and this page reflects only the saved snapshot at those times.
Why It Matters
The contract measures whether the time-weighted average ZEC/USD price over a five-minute window is at or above the price at the start of that window [1]. It is a narrow, rules-based question about short-term price direction as defined by one named data stream. Traders reading the saved prices should understand that the contract's outcome depends on the Chainlink TWAP series and the exact window in the title, not on ZCash prices elsewhere [1]. A snapshot price is not an executable quote, and a price difference between contracts is not by itself an opportunity.
