Quickstart

Get trading on Polymarket from Telegram in under five minutes. No browser extensions, no POL, no gas management.

What you need
  • Telegram app
  • Funds to deposit (USDC on Polygon is fastest; Ethereum, Solana, BSC, Base, Bitcoin, HyperEVM also supported via bridge)
  • You are not located in the U.S.

1) Set Up​

Main Menu

  • Open PolyBot in Telegram → tap /start
  • Accept Terms and compliance confirmation
  • Your self-custodial Polygon smart wallet (Safe) is created automatically
  • No POL needed — gas is sponsored

2) 💵 Deposit Funds​

Wallet Screen

  • Run /wallet or tap 💰 Wallet → 💵 Deposit
  • Select your network:
    • Polygon (recommended) — fastest and cheapest, send USDC or USDC.e directly
    • Other networks — Ethereum, Solana, BSC, Base, Bitcoin, HyperEVM via bridge
  • Send funds only to the deposit address shown for that network. The Polymarket profile/trading wallet address is reference-only.
  • There is a $10 minimum deposit
  • Supported deposits auto-convert to your pUSD tradable balance
  • Balances update within 1–3 min; tap 🔄 Refresh

3) ✅ Place Your First Trade​

Market Trading View

Paste a Polymarket URL in chat → market opens with live prices → buy in two taps.

  • Paste any Polymarket URL (e.g., https://polymarket.com/event/...)
  • Tap ✅ Buy YES or ❌ Buy NO
  • Choose a quick-buy amount or enter custom
  • Review confirmation (cost after fee, shares, price) → confirm
  • Position appears in 📊 Portfolio shortly

4) 📈 Place a Limit Order​

Limit Order

Set the price you're willing to pay — order sits on the book until filled (GTC).

  • From a market → tap 📈 Limit YES or 📈 Limit NO
  • Enter target price in cents (e.g., 75 = $0.75)
  • Enter USD amount to spend. PolyBot shows the minimum USD amount and approximate shares.
  • Confirm

5) 💰 Sell a Position​

Portfolio View

  • Open /portfolio → pick a position → Sell
  • Choose 25/50/75/100% or enter custom shares
  • Or use 📉 Limit Sell (set exit price) or 🛡️ Stop Loss (set downside protection)

6) 📉 Limit Sell​

Set your exit price and wait — useful for take-profit targets.

  • From a position → 📉 Limit Sell
  • Enter price (¢) and shares (min 5)
  • Order sits GTC until filled or canceled from 📋 Orders

7) 💸 Withdraw​

  • /wallet → 💸 Withdraw
  • Enter destination address (0x… on Polygon), choose the receive asset, and enter amount
  • Confirm — gas is sponsored

8) 🤝 Referrals​

Referral Hub

  • Open 🤝 Referral Hub or run /refer
  • Copy your deep-link, edit your referral code, or generate a QR code
  • Use 👥 Add to Group to earn from group traffic
  • 💸 Claim rewards once claimable balance meets minimum

🚀 Next Steps​

Troubleshooting​

  • Deposit not showing — wait 1–3 min (cross-chain may take longer), tap 🔄 Refresh
  • Order failed — check balance; approvals may be finishing — retry in a few seconds
  • Withdrawal delayed — if the relayer's POL is low, try later; gas is normally sponsored
