To protect market integrity in our crypto up/down markets, we're updating how these markets resolve.
What's changing: Starting August 7th at 12 am UTC, affected markets will no longer resolve based on a single snapshot-in-time price. Instead, resolution will use a time-weighted average price (TWAP), with the averaging window scaled to the length of the market (detailed below).
Liquidity rewards: To support liquidity through this transition, we're adding $1M in liquidity rewards across all impacted markets through the month of August.
Market Details:
- All crypto 5 min markets: 30 second TWAP
- All crypto 15 min markets: 60 second TWAP
- All crypto 4 hour markets: 60 second TWAP
Developer access: Chainlink TWAP testnet feeds are available now. Mainnet feeds and Polymarket RTDS delivery are scheduled to launch on August 4, 2026. At launch, developers can consume TWAP prices directly through Chainlink Data Streams or through Polymarket’s public Real-Time Data Streaming WebSocket. Integration instructions, feed IDs, SDK examples, and testing guidance are available here:

https://t.co/1OhHLYiT2I is a specialized automated trader focused almost exclusively on Polymarket’s BTC 5-minute Up/Down markets. Its system is explicitly built around Chainlink TWAP—the same 30-second time-weighted average that now settles those markets.
The bot treats the short-horizon BTC books (which normally sit near a coin-flip ~50¢) as a directional forecasting problem rather than pure noise. It streams the latest Chainlink TWAP via Polymarket’s RTDS, compares it against the slot-open reference price, and generates a calibrated P(up) probability. When the edge clears a threshold it takes taker entries in the fair 45–55¢ zone (typical clips $50–175, often accumulating across the slot). Weak or decaying signals are scratched near breakeven; only higher-conviction legs are held to resolution and redemption.
Public sample data cited in the project’s own documentation (hundreds of resolved markets with ~50¢ average entries) shows a held-side win rate around 60.7% and roughly +24.5% ROI on the capital that actually reaches settlement. That edge comes from forecasting the TWAP path itself instead of chasing a single last-second snapshot—the exact problem the August 7 Polymarket TWAP upgrade was designed to solve. Most activity remains tightly concentrated on BTC 5-minute markets; other assets and longer durations are minor.
The open-source TypeScript reference implementation (and the Windows executable) exposes the pipeline—TWAP feed, signal scoring, slot lifecycle, CLOB order handling—while keeping the private calibrated model closed. Live profile stats fluctuate with open positions, but the architecture is purpose-built to extract directional alpha under the new TWAP settlement rules rather than fight them.
Not financial advice; short-horizon prediction markets remain high-risk and the private signal is the real differentiator.

Polymarket crypto up/down markets now resolve via Chainlink TWAP instead of a single snapshot price.
5-min markets use a 30s trailing TWAP; 15-min and 4h markets use a 60s TWAP.
This averages price over the final window before close, making last-second wicks far harder to manipulate.
Feeds are available through Chainlink Data Streams and Polymarket’s RTDS WebSocket.
$1M in liquidity rewards are live across affected markets through August.
@marvin_x1 Hit rate alone means nothing.
Expectancy does.
A 53.8% edge with controlled exits and high turnover beats a 70% system that breaks after drawdowns.

"Nunca creí que un futbolista pudiera ganar un partido él solo, el fútbol es un deporte de equipo, hasta ese día en que Cristiano Ronaldo nos clasificó él solo"
Ese día era el partido contra el Wolfsburgo.
@PeterMi36446006@coinbase Procedural vote set for September 15 finally puts a date on the calendar. That alone is better than the stall we saw before the recess.
@yulgan@ethereum@ColbFinance Off-chain acquisition of the underlying SpaceX position, then minting the structured tokens through the trust.
That’s the clean part.
Bankruptcy-remote vehicle holding the economic exposure, tokens representing the claim on-chain.
No fake wrappers.
