Overview

Butter appears in the launch corpus as a conditional scalar futarchy market on Unichain tied to scalar outcomes. The chain field reads Unichain; readers should treat that as classification data pending confirmation in current documentation. Its status hint was live at review time; this is not a guarantee that deposits, markets, or withdrawals remain available. The retained research status reads "live": Official user and technical documentation covers active trading, settlement, withdrawals, and deployed Unichain contract addresses.

Confirmation belongs at https://butter.markets/, including whether Butter still offers the described product. A valid HTTPS response is not equivalent to verified trading availability. The claims below remain limited to what the cited material supports.

For Butter, this record preserves only the classifications scalar, amm and futarchy, and Unichain. It does not convert taxonomy into claims about launch maturity, regulatory treatment, liquidity, or product quality. This boundary keeps unknown attributes visible instead of smoothing them into confident prose.

Access and eligibility

Butter's retained sources describe regional or eligibility boundaries, but readers should still check the current terms before access. Research summary: Wallet-based site access; permitted and excluded regions are unknown.

Butter's live label should be tested against its official notices. If eligibility language is absent or ambiguous, the conservative conclusion is that access is not confirmed. KYC summary: KYC status is unresolved in acceptable sources, so users should not assume either anonymous or verified access.

Markets and mechanics

For comparison, Butter carries scalar and amm and futarchy classifications. The official market rules must explain how positions are entered, priced, closed, cancelled, and resolved.

Butter's market title is not enough for due diligence. Read definitions, edge cases, postponement language, resolver authority, and appeal timing before taking a position. Settlement and resolution summary: Reality.eth reports the realized branch and settlement price. The price is the median over a two-hour window beginning 12 hours after the event or expiry; unrealized branches expire worthless.

Fees, KYC and custody

Retained fee evidence: Trade fee rate and balance impact are shown in the trade panel before submission; no universal rate is stated in reviewed documentation. Unichain gas also applies.
