Polymer is an automated trading bot for Polymarket cryptocurrency prediction markets. It monitors 5/15-minute crypto markets (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, HYPE, BNB, DOGE), tracks real-time price movements, and places bets when market conditions align with your configured parameters.

How does the Polymarket Sniper Bot work?

The Sniper Bot targets Polymarket's cryptocurrency prediction markets. These markets ask questions like 'Will BTC be above $X at 12:05?' and resolve every 5 minutes based on actual price feeds. The bot monitors real-time crypto prices via WebSocket and compares them to the market's target price. When the actual price has moved significantly in one direction AND the market probability is high, the bot places a bet on the likely outcome just before the market closes.

What is the Crasher Bot?

The Crasher Bot is a crash recovery strategy that profits from short-term market mispricings. It places passive buy orders at very low prices (e.g., 5-40¢) hoping to catch sudden 'crash' moments when prices briefly spike down due to large sells or market panic. When prices recover (which they often do in short-term crypto markets), the bot sells for profit.

What is the Liquidity Provider Bot?

The Liquidity Provider Bot is an automated market making strategy. It places orders on both sides of the market (buy and sell) with configurable spread and position sizing. The bot adapts order placement based on market conditions, capturing the bid-ask spread while managing inventory risk through smart positioning.

What is the Copy Trader Bot?

The Copy Trader Bot lets you automatically mirror the trades of top-performing wallets. Select proven strategies from successful traders and the bot will replicate their positions in real-time. It's an easy way to benefit from expert strategies without manual configuration.

Is Polymer Bot free to use?

Yes, Polymer Bot is free to use. Polymarket has no trading fees for makers. Gas fees on Polygon are minimal (<$0.01). Position claiming is gasless via Polymarket's relayer. The bot auto-claims when you have 7+ resolved winning positions.

What cryptocurrencies does the bot support?

Polymer Bot supports all major cryptocurrencies available on Polymarket's 5/15-minute markets, including BTC (Bitcoin), ETH (Ethereum), SOL (Solana), XRP, DOGE (Dogecoin), BNB, and HYPE.

What is Privy and why do I need it?

Privy (privy.io) is an embedded wallet provider that creates a crypto wallet tied to your email login. No MetaMask or seed phrases needed - your wallet is secured by your login credentials. Keys are stored in encrypted secure enclaves, never exposed to Polymer. It's non-custodial, meaning only you control your funds.

How do Stop-Loss and Take-Profit work?

Stop-Loss automatically sells your position if the price drops below a threshold (e.g., 20% from entry). It checks every 2 seconds using real-time WebSocket data. Take-Profit places a limit sell order at your target price immediately after buying. Set a percentage (e.g., +5%) or 'Max' for highest possible price. Both features help manage risk and lock in profits automatically.

Can I run multiple bots?

Yes! You can create multiple bots with different configurations. Each bot operates independently with its own settings - useful for testing different strategies or trading different assets (BTC vs ETH vs SOL).

How do I deposit funds?

Copy your Safe wallet address from the dashboard, send USDC on Polygon network from any exchange or wallet that supports Polygon (MATIC), and wait for confirmation (usually 1-2 minutes). Important: Only send assets on Polygon network. You need at least $1 to start trading.

What is Price Deviation?

Price Deviation is the minimum edge (%) required before betting. It measures how far the current crypto price has moved from the market's target price. The bot uses a dynamic threshold that interpolates between your max setting (at window start) and min setting (at market close), allowing stricter requirements when time remains and relaxed thresholds near close.
