Polylayer V1

Market Exploration and Discovery

Polylayer ships a market exploration and discovery terminal designed to help you find opportunities faster.

You can filter live and historical Polymarket markets using rich criteria, save views, and continuously scan the market for setups that matter.

Built-in screeners include:

• Sharp movers
• Bonds
• 50/50 markets
• Markets closing soon

Discovered markets can be saved to watchlists and reused across Polylayer features like correlation analysis, strategies, and automations.

Trading Terminals

Polylayer provides multiple purpose-built terminals, each designed around how a specific market type trades.

• Main terminal for general market discovery and trading
• NegRisk terminal designed for weather, crypto, and stock markets
• Crypto up and down terminal for short-interval directional markets
• Sports terminal built specifically for sports markets
• Gamified NegRisk terminal with a live moving graph and a graphical tap-to-trade grid

Each terminal exposes different layouts, controls, and interaction models based on market structure.

Notifications

Get notified as much or as little as you want, about as many or as few things as you want.

• Follow traders and get notified when they place trades
• Copy trades manually in one click or automate copying for selected wallets
• Use built-in alerts for common market events
• Create custom alerts tied to price, volume, rankings, or insider discovery

For API and programmatic traders, notifications can trigger custom events that stream directly to WebSockets or webhooks.

Onboarding and Accounts

Polylayer is designed to be the easiest way to start trading prediction markets.

• One-click onboarding from fiat using account abstraction
• Instant trading without wallet interaction
• Bring your own wallet with direct transaction approvals
• Built-in bridging to move assets from any supported chain

You can trade across multiple wallets within a single Polylayer account.

Order Types

Polylayer supports flexible execution across a wide range of order types.

• Limit and market
• Stop loss and take profit
• Trailing stop loss
• OCO take profit stop loss
• Ladder orders
• Good til canceled and good til date
• Iceberg and TWAP
• Conditional orders through strategies

Additional execution features are documented in detail.

Early Market Detection and Snipe Orders

Polylayer monitors on-chain activity directly, detecting markets before they are even tradeable.

This allows you to snipe markets and create snipe orders that are automatically placed the moment a market opens for trading.

By monitoring blockchain data in real-time, Polylayer gives you first-mover advantage on newly created markets, ensuring you can position yourself before the market becomes active.

Poly Canvas

Poly Canvas lets you design your own trading terminals.

You can build custom layouts, save them, and switch between setups built around different strategies, market types, or workflows.

Polyplays

Polyplays let you group trades into reusable collections.

Trades can be added, removed, or modified over time, then executed together when you are ready.

Strategies and Automations

Polytensor is Polylayer's automation and backtesting engine.

It allows trades, orders, and notifications to react automatically to changes in markets, events, and positions.

Examples:

• OCO logic where filling one order cancels the other
• One-click buy or sell across predefined sets of polymarkets
• Event logic such as buying second place and selling the leader when rankings change

Custom Strategy Engine

Strategies are built from signals, conditions, and actions.

You can define logic using market data, event-level information, rankings, time-based conditions, and order activity.

Strategies can operate at the market level, event level, or portfolio level.

Backtesting, Simulation, and Correlation

Before committing capital, you can explore how strategies behave.

• Backtest strategies using historical data
• Paper trade strategies in the terminal or via API
• Explore market relationships with the market correlation explorer

What-If Risk Engine

The What-If Risk Engine lets you simulate portfolio changes before they happen.

You can model best and worst case outcomes, explore hedging scenarios, and understand how different resolutions impact your exposure.

Polylayer API

The Polylayer API gives traders full programmatic control.

• Access Polymarket data plus additional on-chain data not available through official APIs
• Subscribe to real-time streams for market, event, and order updates
• Place, manage, and automate trades programmatically

Polyparlays

Launching in beta alongside the public alpha is Polyparlays, a permissionless parlays protocol built on top of Polymarket conditional tokens.

Traders can write parlay contracts, buy existing contracts, resell them on a secondary market, or request new contracts to be created.

TLDR

Polylayer is a trader-first platform for prediction markets with specialized terminals for every market type, flexible execution, automation and strategy tooling, analytics, and a full-featured API.
