Prediction markets used to mean browser tabs, bridging tokens, and missed fills. PolyGun removes all of that.
Most Polymarket traders lose for two reasons: they enter late, and they pick bad positions. PolyGun addresses both. It runs inside Telegram, connects directly to the Polymarket API, and executes trades before most users finish loading the browser dashboard.
What It Does
PolyGun is a Telegram bot. You type
/start
, it creates a non-custodial wallet, and you fund it with USDC. Deposits auto-bridge from Polygon, Ethereum, Solana, or BNB — no manual bridging, no MATIC required for gas fees. From there, you trade prediction markets without leaving the app.
The core loop is simple:
- Search for a market by category, keyword, or Polymarket link pasted into chat
- Check current odds, liquidity, and volume on the market screen
- Place a market order (executes at best available price) or a limit order (waits for your target)
- Track positions and PNL in the portfolio view
Three trading modes control execution speed. Cautious confirms every order. Standard confirms only orders above a threshold you set. Expert fires immediately with no confirmation. Traders who follow fast-moving markets — elections, crypto price calls, breaking news — use Expert mode.
Copy Trading
The feature most traders use first is copy trading. PolyGun tracks a curated set of Smart Wallets — categorized by sport, crypto, politics, and insider activity. Each wallet shows win rate, entry timing, and category breakdown before you commit.
When a tracked wallet enters a position, PolyGun mirrors it for you at your configured size. You set the exposure. You can also see the most-copied wallets across the platform, so you’re picking from traders other users have already vetted by putting money behind them.
Copy trading doesn’t eliminate risk. Prediction markets resolve on real-world outcomes, and any wallet can go cold. The advantage is removing the execution delay — by the time you find a market, research it, and place the order manually, the odds have moved.
Fees and Structure
PolyGun charges 1% per trade on both buys and sells. Gas fees are sponsored, so that’s the full cost. The referral program offsets fees — referring active traders earns a share of their volume fees, which reduces your effective rate over time.
Wallets are non-custodial. You can export your private key at any time. PolyGun executes on your behalf; it doesn’t hold your funds in custody.
Who It’s For
Traders who monitor fast-moving markets benefit most. If your edge is reacting to news before the market adjusts, browser-based trading loses that edge in the gap between reading the headline and placing the order. Telegram-based execution removes that gap.
Beginners who want to learn through copy trading find it accessible too. The $1 USDC minimum means you can test before you commit real size, and following high-performing wallets with visible analytics teaches position logic faster than trading blind.
What It Isn’t
PolyGun doesn’t guarantee outcomes. It amplifies execution speed and gives you access to other traders’ positioning data. The decisions remain yours. Prediction markets carry full loss risk on every position, and bot-based tools don’t change that math.
The platform context matters: Polymarket introduced taker fees in early 2026, and the window for manual arbitrage has collapsed from seconds to milliseconds. Retail traders who still trade manually are operating at a structural disadvantage. Tools like PolyGun exist because that gap is now large enough to matter.
