# Status

DIVA Protocol has three values to indicate the status of the settlement process:

<table><thead><tr><th width="150">DIVA Protocol Status</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Open</td><td>No value has been submitted yet.</td></tr><tr><td>Submitted</td><td>A value has been submitted by the data provider and is subject to challenge.</td></tr><tr><td>Challenged</td><td>The final value submitted by the data provider has been challenged by position token holders.</td></tr><tr><td>Confirmed</td><td>The final value is confirmed, payouts for long and short position tokens have been determined and position token holders can start redeeming their position tokens.</td></tr></tbody></table>

To provide users additional information about the settlement process, the DIVA App implements additional states "Expired", "Fallback" and "Confirmed\*". All states used in the DIVA App are listed below:

| DIVA App Status | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Open            | Pool has not expired yet.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| Expired         | Pool has expired but the final value input from the data provider is still pending.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| Submitted       | A final value has been submitted by the data provider.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| Challenged      | The final value submitted by the data provider has been challenged by position token holders.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| Fallback        | The data provider failed to submit a final value within the 24h submission period. The fallback data provider has 5 days to step in and submit a value. A submission by the fallback data provider should only be expected for whitelisted data providers. For non-whitelisted data providers, it's up to the the fallback data provider's discretion to submit a value or not. |
| Confirmed\*     | The final value is technically confirmed and will be updated during the next transaction in the DIVA smart contract.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| Confirmed       | The final value is confirmed, payouts for long and short position tokens have been determined and position token holders can start redeeming their position tokens.                                                                                                                                                                                                             |

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.divaprotocol.io/introduction/what-is-diva-protocol/how-it-works/settlement/status.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
