Splitting/Merging Shares

How Split and Merge work on Predict: turn USDT into a YES/NO share pair, or combine matching shares back into USDT.

Complementing the regular buy/sell functionality are Merge and Split.

Split is accessible by hovering over More in the dropdown on the market's buy/sell modal.

Merge appears as its own button directly on your Positions table on the Portfolio page, whenever you're holding a mergeable pair of YES/NO shares.

Merge

Use Merge to exit markets where you have both YES and NO shares.

In every market, the value of opposing YES/NO shares always equals $1. So, when you merge shares, you essentially combine these positions to receive a dollar for every pair.

Note that merging will only rid you of an equal portion of YES/NO shares — so, for an uneven distribution (e.g., 20 YES and 50 NO), you’ll receive $20 (20 YES + 20 NO), but retain the excess NO shares (30).

Split

With the same logic used above (a combination of YES/NO always equals $1), Split enables you to split USDT into one YES and one NO share in a shared transaction.
