What We Build

Custom Polymarket & Kalshi Trading Bot Development Solutions

Every trader works differently, so we don't sell a ready-made bot. We build the type of bot your strategy needs, and you can combine several of these into one system.

Arbitrage Monitoring Bots

Bots that spot price gaps between similar contracts on different markets, after counting fees, liquidity and the risk that an order won't fill.

  • Cross-platform price matching
  • Fee and slippage math built in
  • Alert-only or auto-execute

Algorithmic Trading Bots

Bots that trade your strategy automatically, using market data, price thresholds and the rules you set.

  • Your rules turned into code
  • Entry and exit triggers
  • Runs 24/7

Market Making Bots

Bots that keep buy and sell quotes on the order book, watch your inventory and adjust prices as the market moves.

  • Two-sided quoting
  • Inventory and exposure limits
  • Automatic quote updates

Automated Execution Bots

Bots that place, change and cancel orders and manage positions for you, the moment your conditions are met.

Polymarket & Kalshi API Trading Bot Development

Polymarket and Kalshi work very differently under the hood. Polymarket runs on a blockchain with wallet-signed orders, while Kalshi is a regulated U.S. exchange with account-based API keys. We build for each one the right way.

Polymarket Trading Bot Development

We build automated trading on Polymarket's supported interfaces: market data from the Gamma API, order management on the CLOB API, wallet signing on Polygon and live updates over WebSockets.

Key capabilities
  • Market discovery and monitoring
  • Order-book integration
  • Automated order placement
  • Wallet integration
  • Position tracking
  • Trading strategy dashboards
  • Real-time market monitoring

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Simple answers to what traders and businesses ask us most about Polymarket and Kalshi trading bots.

Have a question we didn't cover?

Talk to our trading bot engineers for 30 minutes. You'll leave with a clear next step, whether or not you work with us.

Ask Us Directly

Yes. We build Polymarket bots on its official APIs: the Gamma API to find markets, the CLOB API to read order books and place orders, and WebSockets for live updates. Orders are signed by your wallet, and the bot follows your strategy, limits and schedule.

Yes, for eligible Kalshi accounts. Kalshi offers REST, WebSocket and FIX APIs plus a demo environment. We connect your bot to the API, test it in the demo environment first, and move it to your live account only after you approve the results.

It depends on how many platforms you trade, how complex your strategy is, which data sources and AI models you need, and how detailed the dashboard should be. Instead of quoting a generic number, we scope your project on a free call and send a written proposal with a clear breakdown of scope and timeline.

Yes. Share your rules, even if they live in a spreadsheet or in your head. We turn them into clear code, backtest them on past data, run them in simulated or demo trading, and then go live with the limits you set.

Yes. Our arbitrage monitoring bots compare prices for similar contracts on Polymarket, Kalshi and other markets. They account for fees, liquidity and settlement rules, because two contracts that look the same can resolve differently. You can choose alerts only or automatic execution.

Yes. We can add statistical models, machine learning forecasts and AI news analysis to estimate probabilities and score trade ideas. The AI suggests, but your rules and risk limits decide what actually gets traded.

A simple price monitoring or alert bot usually takes about 3 to 4 weeks. A full trading bot with a strategy, dashboard and risk controls usually takes about 6 to 10 weeks. Bots that trade on several platforms or use AI models can take longer, and we share working demos every week.

Yes. We review your current code, fix slow or unreliable execution, add missing risk controls, connect new platforms, and improve logging and dashboards. We test every change in simulation before it touches your live account.

API keys and wallet secrets are stored in an encrypted secrets vault, never in code. We use a dedicated trading wallet with limited funds, strict signing rules, two-factor access for your team, order validation before every trade, full audit logs and an emergency kill switch.

Both platforms publish official APIs for programmatic trading, and Kalshi offers a demo environment for testing. Access depends on your account, your location and each platform's current terms and rate limits, which can change. We review the current rules during feasibility and build bots that follow them. We never build tools that bypass location restrictions, identity checks or rate limits. This is not legal advice.
