Snapshot observed 2026-10-26T00:00:05.974Z. This analysis describes that snapshot and is not a live news update.

What the contract measures

This is a single short-window contract titled "ZCash Up or Down - October 26, 7:00PM-7:05PM ET." Per the source, 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 named in the rules, and 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]. Readers comparing this contract with a ZEC price shown elsewhere should note that a different source or a spot price may not match the resolution basis.

The title gives the window in Eastern Time, while the listed end time is "2026-10-26T23:05:00.000Z" in UTC [1]. Readers should compare these two times carefully when checking the window.

Reading the snapshot

The saved snapshot was observed at 2026-10-26T00:00:05.974Z, and the source was retrieved at 2026-10-26T01:28:26.637Z [1]. The observation is therefore from about an hour and a half before retrieval and should not be read as a live price. The provider status at capture was "active" [1].

The snapshot shows two outcomes, each priced at 0.5: "Up" at 0.5 and "Down" at 0.5 [1]. These are prices in a saved record, not executable quotes, and they are not verified probabilities. The snapshot does not include volume or order-book depth, so it says nothing about liquidity or how many traders took part.

The sample covers one market. The coverage record shows one total market, one included, and no partial sample [1]. Because only this contract was saved, there is no comparison with other contracts or platforms in this evidence.

What remains uncertain

The evidence does not show the price of ZEC at any time after the snapshot, whether the market is still trading, or how the contract will settle. It also does not explain why the two prices are equal. Any reading of this contract should wait for the stated resolution source and the listed close time.
