How Sawa works and what to expect

Sawa Coins & Trading

You start with 100 Sawa coins when you create your account.
Creating a prediction is free. Placing a trade on a prediction costs Sawa coins (you choose the amount).
There are monthly limits on how many predictions you can create and join, based on your account tier.
When you place a trade, your Sawa coins are deducted immediately.
If your prediction is correct, you receive a share of the total pool proportional to your stake.
All payouts shown while a prediction is open are estimates. The actual payout is only determined when the prediction closes, based on the final total volume and pool distribution at that time.
A small platform fee (2.5%) is deducted from winnings.
Early traders receive a small bonus for placing their trade sooner.

Anyone can create a prediction with a question, options, a deadline, and a category.
Predictions can be public (visible on Discover) or tied to a specific community.
The title, description, and category of a prediction cannot be changed once someone has placed a trade.
The deadline can be extended after trades have been placed, but not shortened.
Images can be updated at any time before the prediction is resolved.

The person who created the prediction is responsible for resolving it once the outcome is known.
After resolution, there is a 24-hour dispute window where any participant can challenge the result.
If a dispute is raised, participants vote on the outcome.
If the dispute is upheld, all trades are refunded to participants.
If no disputes are raised within 24 hours, winnings are distributed automatically.

Your Signal Score is your win rate: the percentage of resolved predictions you got right.
It is calculated as wins divided by total resolved trades.
Leaderboard rankings are based on Signal Score, with total winnings as a tiebreaker.
Both global and community-level leaderboards are available.

Anyone can create a community. The creator is the admin.
Communities can be public (listed on Discover), invite-only, or restricted to specific email domains.
Admins can require approval for new members.
Each community has a unique invite code that can be shared to invite members.
Community members can create predictions within the community and see a community-specific leaderboard.

Predictions must have a verifiable outcome. Subjective or unverifiable questions may be removed.
Manipulating outcomes, creating misleading predictions, or exploiting the platform is prohibited.
Users who violate these rules may have their accounts suspended.
All prediction results are publicly visible on your profile. There is no way to hide wrong calls.
Sawa uses virtual Sawa coins only. There is no real money involved, no cash prizes, and no financial risk.
