Overview

This skill helps you interact with Polymarket prediction markets: find markets, check odds, place bets, and manage positions on Polygon using USDC.e. It guides searches, explains odds and payouts, and handles auto-bridging of funds to Polygon when needed.

How this skill works

The skill searches Polymarket markets by keywords or categories, fetches real-time prices and implied probabilities, and prepares transactions to buy Yes/No shares. It calculates shares and potential payouts, checks market liquidity and status, and can initiate auto-bridge transfers of USDC to Polygon before placing bets. It also retrieves open positions and redemption options for resolved markets.

When to use it

• You want to find or filter Polymarket markets (politics, sports, crypto, culture).
• You need current odds or implied probabilities for a specific outcome.
• You plan to place a bet or test a small stake on a market outcome.
• You want to view, manage, or redeem your Polymarket positions.
• You need to bridge USDC to Polygon automatically before betting.

Best practices

• Search and review market liquidity and spread before placing a bet to avoid bad fills.
• Confirm implied probability and compute shares/payouts so you understand risk and reward.
• Start with small stakes when testing a new market or unfamiliar outcome.
• Ensure your wallet has enough USDC.e on Polygon or enable auto-bridging ahead of a trade.
• Avoid betting on markets that are closed or low-liquidity; check market status first.

Example use cases

• Search Polymarket for upcoming election or sports markets and list top trending markets.
• Check the current odds and implied probability for a candidate or team.
• Place a $5–$20 bet on a Yes/No outcome and show expected shares and payout if correct.
• View your open Polymarket positions, current value, and gas/bridge requirements.
• Redeem winnings after a market resolves and auto-bridge funds back if needed.
