# Validation Process In order for a user to verify the outcome of a market, the user must hold or mint an Analyst NFT. To validate a market, the Analyst will ‘vote’ their NFT on an outcome, at which point the NFT is sent to the market contract address and the NFT will be locked until the reward phase. The total power required for market verification is determined by the total market size (sideA + sideB predicted). In cases where there is a very large market but not enough validations to verify it early, that market will be validated after the verification phase is over. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
