Polymarket Bot Wallet Allowance Security: Limits, Rotation and Monitoring
Token approval is persistent spending authority that can outlive a bot, server, or employee.
Model the failure correctly
Inventory every chain, token, owner, spender, amount, source, and last-use time.
Collect evidence
Choose unlimited or bounded approval using working capital, turnover, gas cost, and response time—not convenience alone.
Build the control path
Separate treasury and execution wallets and isolate strategy working capital.
Handle edge cases
Pin documented spender addresses and reject unapproved remote-configuration changes.
Recovery procedure
Monitor new spenders and increases, and verify on-chain revocation when retiring a strategy.
Production metrics
Maintain a compromise runbook covering stop, cancel, transfer, revoke, rotate, and reconcile steps.
