How It Works

Account Setup (Automatic)

On your first deposit, the agent:
  1. Creates a Safe smart account on Base and Polygon
  2. Creates a dedicated MPC vault on Polygon (via Dynamic)
  3. Derives CLOB API keys for Polymarket trading
  4. Sets all 6 required contract approvals (USDC + Conditional Tokens for 3 exchange contracts)
This happens once and takes about 30 seconds. All subsequent operations reuse your existing vault.

Fund Flow

Deposit: Butler wallet (Base) -> Base Safe -> Li.Fi bridge -> Polygon vault -> Polymarket CLOB Withdrawal: Polymarket CLOB -> Polygon vault -> Polygon Safe -> Li.Fi bridge -> Base Safe

Order Execution

  • Market orders use Fill-and-Kill (FAK) execution — fills what it can at the best available price, cancels the remainder
  • Limit/GTC orders sit on the Polymarket orderbook until filled, cancelled, or the market resolves
  • Fill amounts are confirmed via the CLOB API after execution

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Insufficient Balance

Symptom: Order rejected with “Insufficient vault balance”. Solution: Deposit more USDC first. Check your current balance with getPolymarketAccount.

2. Market Order Too Small

Symptom: Order rejected with “Market order too small”. Solution: Polymarket requires at least $1 notional for market orders. Increase your order size or use a limit order.

3. Market Resolved

Symptom: Cannot sell shares in a resolved market. Solution: Use bulk_redeem_positions to redeem winning positions instead of trying to sell them.

4. Deposit Bridge Delay

Symptom: Deposit takes longer than expected. Solution: Cross-chain bridges typically take 30 seconds to 5 minutes depending on the route and network congestion. The agent polls until funds arrive.

FAQ

Q: What is Polymarket? A: Polymarket is a prediction market platform where you trade on the outcomes of real-world events. Each share pays 1iftheoutcomeoccurs,1 if the outcome occurs, 0 if it doesn’t. Buy shares below $1 if you think the event is more likely than the market implies. Q: How much does it cost? A: Otto AI charges a flat $0.01 USDC per job. Polymarket itself charges small trading fees (taker/maker). Bridge transactions have minimal slippage (~0.2%). Q: Can I lose money? A: Yes. If you buy shares and the outcome doesn’t happen, your shares become worthless. Only trade what you can afford to lose. Q: Where are my funds stored? A: Funds are held in a dedicated MPC vault on Polygon, managed by Otto AI’s infrastructure. Each user gets their own vault. Q: Can I withdraw anytime? A: Yes. Use the deposit/withdrawal service to move USDC out of Polymarket at any time. Open positions must be sold or redeemed before withdrawing those funds. Q: What markets can I trade? A: Any active market on Polymarket — politics, crypto, sports, entertainment, science, business, and more. Use getTrendingMarkets to discover what’s available. Q: What happens when a market resolves? A: If you hold winning shares, use bulk_redeem_positions to convert them to USDC. The agent scans your entire portfolio and redeems all winners automatically.
