Status: waiting for your deposit
You send from your own wallet straight to the exchanger — nothing to connect, no account, and you stay on this page throughout. Rates are indicative until a swap is opened.
The swap is carried out by an independent exchanger and the deposit address above is theirs. wswap.site never holds, receives or controls your funds, has no key to that address, and earns a referral commission. Opening a swap sends your receiving address, IP, browser and timezone to the exchanger for their compliance checks; we store none of it. Check their terms, fees and country restrictions before sending anything.
To verify an oracle's resolution data on-chain, you read the relevant blockchain transaction where the oracle submitted its outcome, cross-check that data against the smart contract's stored resolution, and confirm it matches the real-world event you expected. The process is straightforward but requ
A conditional token is a digital asset that represents a specific outcome in a prediction market, entitling its holder to a payout only if that outcome occurs. Think of it as a claim check: you own it, you present it when the event settles, and if your prediction was correct, you receive the underly

A failed transaction on Polymarket almost always comes down to one of a handful of causes: insufficient funds for gas, a price impact or slippage limit that was exceeded, an expired approval, a nonce conflict, or a wallet signature that was rejected or timed out. The block explorer will show the tra
If a prediction market expires with no trades, the outcome is straightforward: all open interest is zero because none exists, and the market simply closes without any payouts, losses, or settlements. No one wins or loses because no one held any shares. The market creator, however, still faces the co
A Polymarket order book looks like a standard exchange order book, but the numbers represent probabilities, not prices. The "bid" column shows what someone will pay for a share that pays $1 if the event happens, and the "ask" column shows what someone wants to receive for selling that same share. Th

Your trade happens inside the exchange's own ledger. Nothing touches the blockchain until you withdraw.
You swap from your own wallet. The transaction settles on the chain and you pay its fee.
Not financial advice. wswap.site publishes market data and general information about digital assets. Crypto assets are volatile and you can lose everything you put in. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold, and we make no price predictions.
