How PolyEdge Works

PolyEdge is a thin, non-custodial layer on top of Polymarket. You authorise it, configure a strategy, and a dedicated engine runs that strategy for you. It never holds your funds.

Sign-in with your wallet

Authentication uses Sign-In with Ethereum (SIWE). You connect a wallet on Polygon and sign a one-time message — no password, no custody, no gas. That signature establishes your session; your wallet address is your identity on the platform.

The bot lifecycle

1. 1

   Configure

   You set the strategy parameters and risk limits and save them. Configuration is stored against your account.
2. 2

   Start

   Pressing Start marks the bot active. A dedicated worker process picks it up within a few seconds and begins a poll loop.
3. 3

   Poll

   On each cycle the bot reads live Polymarket data (positions, order books, prices), decides whether to act under your rules, and — in live mode — places orders through the Polymarket CLOB.
4. 4

   Heartbeat

   Each cycle writes a heartbeat (last sync time, last error) so the dashboard can show accurate status even though execution runs elsewhere.
5. 5

   Stop

   Pressing Stop halts the loop. Open positions remain — stopping a bot does not liquidate anything.

Execution runs separately from the UI

Your bots run on a dedicated execution engine, separate from the web dashboard. This keeps order timing crisp and unaffected by chart rendering or UI traffic: the dashboard reads the engine's latest scan and heartbeat from the database, so the page stays fast while the bot keeps trading in the background — even if you close the tab.
