What is Polymarket?

Polymarket is the Betting Interface for Polymarket that operates polymarket.com itself — the world's largest prediction market — registered as polymarketVerified=true on builders.polymarket.com under builder code 0xc67de09…db69 for the official protocol-owned web client. Polymarket was founded by Shayne Coplan in 2020, is headquartered in New York, and has raised over $70M in prior rounds from Vitalik Buterin and Founders Fund (May 2024 round) plus a $2B investment from Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) in October 2025, reaching a $9B valuation by February 2026. On 2 December 2025 the platform reopened to US customers as a CFTC-regulated Designated Contract Market via Polymarket US. The protocol settles in USDC on Polygon, with international and US operations running on separate legal stacks. The native interface offers all-categories prediction markets, leaderboards, accuracy tracking, an API, and developer documentation.

Polymarket is the world's largest prediction market and the protocol that this entire builders directory routes orders into. The slug 'polymarket' in the Polymarket Builders directory refers to a builder code (0xc67de09…db69) attributed to the protocol's own native polymarket.com web interface — the volume that flows through users trading directly on the home interface rather than via a third-party builder app.

Polymarket was founded by Shayne Coplan in 2020 (initially under the name Union.market) while Coplan worked from his apartment during pandemic-era quarantine. Headquarters: 1280 Lexington Avenue, New York. The protocol settles in USDC on Polygon, with an off-chain CLOB (central limit order book) that matches orders and posts on-chain via a gasless relayer.

Funding history: In May 2024 Polymarket raised approximately $70 million from Vitalik Buterin, Founders Fund and others. In October 2025 Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) invested $2 billion. By February 2026 the company's valuation had reached $9 billion. In March 2026 Polymarket acquired Brahma, a crypto infrastructure startup.

Regulatory milestones: a January 2022 CFTC settlement ($1.4M fine), the May 2022 appointment of former CFTC Chairman J. Christopher Giancarlo as advisory-board chairman, and the December 2, 2025 reopening to US customers via Polymarket US (CFTC-regulated Designated Contract Market). International users continue on the separate, non-CFTC-regulated polymarket.com interface. Markets cover politics, sports, crypto, finance, geopolitics, tech, culture, weather, and more.

The self-attributed builder code routes a comparatively small share of total platform volume because most volume on polymarket.com flows under no builder code at all (the default), with this code reserved for specific direct-routed flows: leaderboard rank #173 monthly at $1.9k routed and #313 all-time at $2.0k from 8 users.

How to verify Polymarket

On-chain attribution — every Polymarket Builder routes via an order that includes their builderCode. The hash above is checkable on Polygon against Polymarket's CTF Exchange.
Polymarket's own verification — $Polymarket carries the official ✓ verified flag in the data API.
Cross-check Polybot Arena — polybot.arena tracks wallet-level P&L for builder-tagged bots. If a builder claims specific performance, their wallet should be findable there.
Tier-2 patterns to avoid — we flag builders that match the Tier-2 pattern (no public team, no verifiable claims, recurs across affiliate-SEO listicles). See our /methodology page for the full criteria.
