During the Polymarket Token launch, which ecosystem tokens can be traded?

The parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), recently announced plans to invest up to $2 billion in the prediction market platform Polymarket. This news not only signifies the recognition of this emerging market by traditional financial giants but also establishes a solid financial foundation for Polymarket's future expansion.

Having been reapproved to enter the U.S. market and endorsed with a valuation of around $8 billion, Polymarket is actively driving the "Polymarket Builders" program, encouraging third-party teams to build various tools, analytical platforms, trading terminals, and AI agents to thrive together in the entire ecosystem. Currently, the ecosystem has grown to include hundreds of projects.

This article will introduce five Polymarket ecosystem projects, each enriching the gameplay of the prediction market from the perspectives of smart trading, sports betting AI, social trading, mobile terminals, and leveraged trading.

Billy Bets

As the tentacles of the prediction market extend into the sports sector, Billy Bets is playing a prominent role. This AI sports betting agent, co-founded by serial entrepreneurs Bunchu, Jared Augustine, and Clay, aims to use artificial intelligence to completely transform the $250 billion sports betting market.

In July 2025, Billy Bets completed a $1 million seed round of financing, with investors including Coinbase Ventures, Virtuals Ventures, and CMS Holdings, among other well-known institutions. The Billy Bets team points out that the annual turnover of the sports betting industry now reaches up to billions of dollars, yet bets executed by AI agents account for less than 1%, highlighting the significant efficiency gap they are targeting.

"We believe that in the future, all sports bettors will ultimately rely on AI to improve their win rates," co-founder Jared Augustine stated in an interview.

Billy Bets' architecture is quite distinctive. Built on the Eliza multi-agent framework, it integrates various large-scale models such as Anthropic Claude 3.5, OpenAI GPT-4, Meta's LLaMA 3.2, and Perplexity, creating an "AI betting persona" with a sarcastic and humorous style.

By leveraging our proprietary SportsTensor AI engine connected to SportsData.io real-time sports data, Billy Bets is able to analyze game trends in leagues such as NBA, NFL, and MLB. It interacts with users on community platforms like X (Twitter), Discord, and Telegram, providing real-time answers to questions and discussions on sports events. More importantly, it automates complex betting strategies. The AI agent can autonomously manage on-chain wallets, execute arbitrage and copy trading, act as a market maker, and cleverly apply the Kelly Criterion (much to the delight of airdrop chasers) to dynamically adjust bet amounts, aiming to bring the risk-to-reward ratio close to professional gambling standards.

In practical applications, Billy Bets has begun to demonstrate its power. Professional sports bettors can entrust their funds to Billy for management. According to official disclosures, since its launch in June this year, Billy has processed over $1 million in bets.

Billy Bets' next step is to launch a tokenized membership system and a betting insurance fund to strengthen the value of its native token $BILLY in the ecosystem. For example, holding $BILLY may entitle holders to premium features or revenue sharing, while the insurance fund provides users with fund security.

Despite continuous improvements in functionality, the value of its token BILLY has gradually declined, falling below its opening price at launch from Virtuals, now trading at a $3.2 million market cap.

Amid the trend of sports prediction gradually moving to the blockchain, Billy Bets combines cutting-edge large model AI with decentralized wallets to inject a professional and personalized sports betting "brain" into the Polymarket ecosystem.

Polycule

For many users who cannot directly access the Polymarket official website or prefer mobile platforms, Polycule offers a new convenient avenue. As a Telegram-based chat trading bot, Polycule allows users to experience Polymarket through a chat interface, browse markets, check odds, place orders directly, and even manage on-chain wallets, all within a familiar chat window.

Polycule is not just a personal tool; it also incorporates social trading elements. Users can add this bot to their Telegram group, and then anyone in the group can place orders through Polycule, with transaction details automatically broadcast to all members. This makes betting as contagiously tradable as Memecoins transactions, contributing to its social nature.

The team even designed a points and leaderboard mechanism to incentivize everyone to share strategies within the group. At the same time, newcomers can easily copy trades with Polycule, where users can choose to mimic the bets of a "guru" in the group, thus saving time on their own research.

Furthermore, Polycule has issued its own PCULE token for ecosystem incentives. Holding a certain amount of PCULE allows for a reduction in transaction fees, and the team also regularly performs token buybacks and burns with revenue to enhance the token's value.

In May of this year, when PCULE was listed, its market cap briefly reached around $15 million, and in June, it secured a $560,000 seed investment from AllianceDAO. Then, on October 1st, PCULE was officially rebranded as PMX, and the team announced the launch of an unpermissioned prediction market (similar to an internal pool for Memecoins, which can be bet on after going external).

As the market is still relatively early stage, most of the topics are related to Crypto, a blockchain-verifiable information source. In a sense, this is like a cryptographic futures paradise.

After transitioning from a tool to a platform, its token PMX has also soared in value, rising from a $18 million market cap all the way to $57 million and has now retraced to $23 million.

Polymtrade

Although Polymarket has become the largest volume prediction market platform, it has long relied on the web interface and has not launched an official mobile app. This has made many power users feel inconvenient in operation, as the mobile browser experience is not as smooth as a native app.

One user even complained on the community forum, saying they were "willing to spend hundreds of dollars" just to get a user-friendly mobile application, showing the urgent demand for a mobile version.

Polymtrade emerged in response to this demand for a third-party mobile trading terminal. The project team claims this is the first complete mobile trading app designed specifically for Polymarket, focusing on speed, user-friendliness, and comprehensive professional tools, aiming to redefine the user's trading experience on mobile.

Upon opening Polymtrade, the first thing you notice is a mobile-optimized clean interface and real-time updated market data. Due to targeted technical improvements, Polymtrade loads Polymarket data nearly 4 times faster than the mobile web. Considering many users like to refer to data for their bets, Polymtrade features an AI prediction assistant. The team has trained a model based on up to 55,000 settled historical market data points to provide probability forecasts and trading advice for the current market.

For example, when a hot topic issue has new developments, an AI model may promptly adjust its win rate estimate for the "yes/no" outcome and suggest potential betting opportunities to users. This kind of intelligent assistance gives ordinary users a somewhat "prophetic" perspective.

In terms of the transaction process, Polymtrade has also made many optimizations to enhance the convenience of the mobile experience. Users can connect their own crypto wallets, authorize transactions through signatures, and Polymtrade will not custody user funds throughout the process, ensuring its self-custodial nature.

Additionally, to reduce the cost of frequent trading, Polymtrade fronts the Gas fees on the Polygon chain for users, essentially exempting them from all on-chain fees. This is undoubtedly a boon for high-frequency traders, eliminating concerns about on-chain fees. Furthermore, Polymtrade has streamlined the previously cumbersome betting steps into a one-click process, from selecting markets, inputting amounts to confirming transactions (with integration with ok.bet, users can directly initiate transactions from Telegram), packaging all steps into a single submission action, greatly simplifying operations.

It is also equipped with some auxiliary tools; Polymtrade has built-in search and monitoring dashboards, allowing users to quickly find markets by keyword or tag, subscribe to real-time news alerts, view fee income and transaction volume rankings of various markets to easily determine the most popular areas. For professional players, the application also provides features such as community comments and strategy discussion sections.

Polymtrade's emergence has filled the long-standing mobile gap of Polymarket. For users accustomed to trading anytime, anywhere, it provides desktop-level functionality, simplified for mobile devices, allowing people to quickly place bets even on their commute.

Its transaction fees are currently used as user incentives and for daily token buybacks, with 71 million $PM already burned.

With PM's current market value being only $800,000, its relatively stable rise due to the buyback mechanism will ultimately depend on whether its mobile functions can penetrate deeply enough.

Flipr

Flipr's sudden emergence has elevated the play of prediction markets to a new level. If Polycule embedded trading into a chat app, Flipr boldly integrated trading instructions into social media feeds, turning every tweet into a potential real bet. This new protocol, dubbed by Messari as the "leverage layer for prediction markets," fully leverages Polymarket's existing infrastructure while adding social and DeFi elements, making it truly unique.

Flipr has two core functions. First, it has launched the X-based trading bot @fliprbot. Users simply need to post or reply to a tweet on X containing a Polymarket market link and use natural language to specify their bet (e.g., " @fliprbot bet $50 YES" along with the market link and conditions), and Fliprbot will read this instruction, automatically execute the trade for the user on that market.

The entire process does not require opening any additional websites or apps, similar to Base's BANKR feature, truly achieving "tweet to bet." When you browse Twitter and see a trending event, you can not only express your opinion but also conveniently place a bet.

Flipr's other function is introducing a rare leverage feature to prediction markets. Typically, bets on platforms like Polymarket or Kalshi are placed using $0-$1 priced contracts, cashing out at $1 based on the outcome, without additional leverage. However, Flipr allows users to take positions with leverage of up to 10x.

High leverage brings the potential for high returns but also comes with higher risk, as slight price fluctuations could lead to liquidation. Therefore, Flipr has also prepared take-profit and stop-loss features (contractualization of prediction markets). It has also designed DeFi modules such as lending and collateral (not yet launched), where in the future, users may be able to use their held prediction contracts as collateral to borrow funds from the Flipr protocol.

Since its token $FLIPR launched in June, it reached a peak market value of $30 million but has since retreated in popularity, falling back to around $4.3 million.

Currently, Flipr is still in its early stages, primarily supporting markets with high liquidity in popular contracts. Niche markets are not fully covered yet due to issues like slippage and liquidation mechanisms. However, if Flipr can address funding and risk management issues, and continue to provide a seamless social trading experience, it could become a relatively mature integrated platform of social prediction markets and DeFi functionalities.

Polyfactual

Within the Polymarket ecosystem's Builders project, Polyfactual, like Polytrader and Billy Bets, is an important part developed by community developers. The Polyfactual team initially engaged with the community through X, Telegram, hosting regular live discussions on market trends. Polyfactual launched its product prototype in September 2025, initially delving into popular Polymarket topics through weekly live streams, building a loyal user base.

In October 2025, Polyfactual launched a prediction event analysis AI Chrome extension that integrates with Polymarket. This extension allows traders to receive real-time AI interpretation and data insights on the market while browsing the Polymarket market page, enhancing decision-making efficiency. This is an important step for Polyfactual in solidifying its tooling capabilities.

Polyfactual's uniqueness lies in its integration of artificial intelligence, social sentiment, and prediction market depth to create a new paradigm known as "Truth Markets." In simple terms, Polyfactual aims to imbue truth with value through financial mechanisms, making the spread of rumors low-profit or even unprofitable. Its core operations can be divided into several key modules: fact verification, real-time intelligence feed, cross-platform arbitrage, and "Truth Endorsement" tokens.

First is fact verification and intelligence analysis. The Polyfactual platform integrates massive amounts of information from news and social media (especially X platform) and utilizes custom AI models for semantic analysis and credibility assessment. When a rumor starts circulating in the community, Polyfactual's AI swiftly assesses the reliability of its source, relevant data support, and provides the results to users.

For example, if a rumor about a politician in a trending market suddenly causes odds to fluctuate significantly, Polyfactual's real-time intelligence feed will immediately push out analysis results to clarify the veracity of the information and prevent users from being misled. Polyfactual acts as a "fact-checker" in prediction markets, safeguarding market pricing to be more aligned with the real world through timely identification of information authenticity.

In summary of their product philosophy, as articulated by one of the co-founders in an article from a few days ago, "Prediction market thinking ultimately provides not certainty but clarity. Not fearlessness but calibrated attention. Not risk elimination but the wisdom to differentiate between dangers that should change our behavior and those that should not."

As of now, the official Polyfactual website has integrated an AI news feed that tracks developments in areas such as crypto, politics, sports, and can filter out key messages related to the Polymarket market. Users can browse the Live Feed on the website to get news summaries and also use the aforementioned browser extension to view AI interpretations on the Polymarket webpage sidebar.

In October of this year, Polyfactual announced the launch of an embedded AI Market Analyzer, stating that "Introducing AI Market Analysis functionality within the site paste any Polymarket link or pose a question, and AI will instantly analyze market sentiment and risk. Each analysis requires burning 10 $POLYFACTS tokens."

This feature allows users to engage in direct conversation with Polyfactual's AI assistant to receive in-depth analysis reports on specific markets (such as market sentiment, reasons for odds movement, etc.), but it requires a small amount of tokens as a fee. Through this token consumption mechanism, Polyfactual integrates its token into the product usage scenario, incentivizing token holding on the one hand and controlling the abuse of AI services on the other.

On the other hand, Polyfactual is exploring the "Truth Endorsement" token mechanism. In an October 10th MCG interview, Polyfactual's founder also discussed this idea, aiming to directly translate the outcome of prediction markets into tradable tokens. Senior community observer fififish vividly described this concept as "What Polyfactual wants to do is to emit tokens based on the final outcome through facts, which are the 'Yes' or 'No' on Polymarket."

For example, for an event with two possible outcomes, A or B, Polyfactual plans to pre-create two tokens (such as Fact-A and Fact-B) at the start of the event. If the final result is that A occurs, then the Fact-A token is formally issued and assigned value, while Fact-B becomes void; and vice versa. These tokens to some extent represent a kind of "legitimacy" endorsed by the real outcome.

More importantly, behind this legitimacy is the consensus bet by market participants with real money. Therefore, those holding "truth tokens" essentially hold proof or stake in the actual outcome. Polyfactual envisions that these truth tokens can circulate in the secondary market in the future or be used for specific community governance, allowing the reliability of information to be measured by market prices. To this end, the team has begun developing a product called Facts, similar to an "oracle," which will officially launch on November 26.

In addition, this model will also spawn cross-platform arbitrage bots focusing on price differentials between Polymarket and other platforms. Part of its profits will be returned to POLYFACTS holders through token buybacks or dividends, allowing the community to share in the rewards.

However, upon the official token POLYFACT's launch, due to a mishap with an "affiliate tag" mistakenly associated with POLYMARKET's official site, it was erroneously perceived to have been acquired. As a result, its market cap briefly soared to $19 million, then fluctuated between $4 to $6 million.
