What the contract measures

This is a single Polymarket contract titled "ZCash Up or Down - October 31, 2:00AM-2:05AM ET" [1]. According to the rules excerpt, it "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 resolution source is the ZEC/USD TWAP data stream from Chainlink, and the rules state 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 title describes the measurement window, while the listed end time is 2026-10-31T06:05:00.000Z [1]. The excerpt also reports the provider status as active [1]. Because the window covers a five-minute period, a reader comparing this contract with a differently worded ZEC market should check whether the window, reference price, and data source match before treating the two as comparable.

Reading the snapshot

The saved market shows two outcomes, "Up" at 0.5 and "Down" at 0.5 [1]. The provider observation time is 2026-10-30T12:00:07.014Z, and the source was retrieved at 2026-10-30T13:01:17.008Z [1]. These times describe when the price was recorded and when this record was collected. They do not describe the contract's close, and the snapshot should not be read as a live quote.

Because the two prices are equal in this snapshot, the record shows no difference between the quoted sides at that moment. A price is not an executable quote, and it is not a verified probability. The record also includes no volume or liquidity figures, so it cannot show how deep the market was or how many participants were involved.

This sample covers one market from one provider event. The coverage record reports one total market, one included market, and no partial sample [1]. No other outcomes or contracts were saved, so there is nothing to compare against.

What remains uncertain

The evidence does not explain why either side is priced where it is, and it contains no news, trading activity, or other context about the ZEC price. It also does not establish how the contract will resolve, since the excerpt describes the rule but not the actual TWAP result. Readers should not assume this snapshot reflects prices after the retrieval time. The saved data also does not show whether other ZEC contracts with different windows, sources, or close times exist, so any cross-platform comparison would require separate evidence.
