Polymarket Market-Making Bot Development: Requirements for a Production Build
A production requirements guide for commissioning a Polymarket market-making bot with reliable books, inventory controls and order reconciliation.
A production requirements guide for commissioning a Polymarket market-making bot with reliable books, inventory controls and order reconciliation.
Market universe and quoting model
Define whether the bot quotes one market, a category or a dynamic universe. Specify minimum depth, maximum spread, target edge, quote size, inventory skew and conditions that suspend quoting.
Data synchronization
A production bot needs an authoritative snapshot, incremental updates, gap detection and resynchronization. Polymarket separates discovery, account data and CLOB execution, so identifiers and timestamps must be normalized across API surfaces.
Order lifecycle
Require deterministic client order IDs, tick-size validation, partial-fill handling, cancellation deadlines and full reconciliation after reconnect. Open orders and positions must be verified before quoting resumes.
Risk and settlement
Set per-market exposure, correlated-event exposure, daily loss and stale-data limits. Include market resolution, redemption and unexpected balance-difference workflows rather than treating execution as the whole product.
Commission a build
TierZero delivers quoting logic, CLOB integration, controls, dashboards and deployment. See Polymarket market-making development and submit target markets and capital limits on the contact page.
Ready to discuss the build?
Describe your target chain or venue, strategy, current code and operational constraints on the TierZero contact page. We will turn it into a concrete scope, delivery plan and estimate.
Building this for production?
We turn this architecture into tested, non-custodial software with monitoring, documentation and deployment support.
