polyclawster-agent

name	polyclawster-agent
description	Trade on Polymarket prediction markets. Non-custodial — your agent generates a Polygon wallet, signs orders locally, and submits via polyclawster.com relay (geo-bypass). Private key never leaves your machine. Fund with POL — agent auto-swaps to USDC.e.

polyclawster-agent

Trade on Polymarket prediction markets with your OpenClaw agent.

User experience

This skill is designed for conversational use. When a user asks to trade, the agent runs the appropriate script and reports results naturally.

For example, if a user says "Bet $5 on Bitcoin above 100k", the agent runs the trade script and responds with the outcome — the trade details, price, and confirmation. Users can always ask for more technical details if they want them.

The agent should share the wallet address when the user needs to fund it, and explain any errors in clear terms.

Setup flow

When a user wants to start trading Polymarket:

1. Run setup.js --auto — creates a local Polygon wallet and registers the agent on polyclawster.com
2. Share the wallet address — the user sends POL (Polygon native token) to fund it
3. Once funded, the agent can place trades

Config is stored in ~/.polyclawster/config.json (private key, CLOB API credentials).

Scripts reference

All scripts are in the scripts/ directory. Run with node scripts/<name>.js.

Script	Purpose	Key flags
setup.js	Create wallet + register agent	--auto, --info, --derive-clob
balance.js	Check POL, USDC.e, and CLOB balances	—
swap.js	Convert POL or native USDC → USDC.e	--pol N, --usdc N, --check
approve.js	One-time Polymarket contract approvals	--check (read-only)
browse.js	Search markets by topic	Pass search term as argument
trade.js	Place a bet (live or demo)	--market, --side YES/NO, --amount N, --demo
sell.js	Close a position	--bet-id N, --list
auto.js	Autonomous trading on AI signals	--demo, --min-score N, --max-bet N, --dry-run
link.js	Link agent to Telegram Mini App	Pass claim code as argument

Live trading

trade.js handles the full flow automatically before placing a live bet:

1. Checks USDC.e balance
2. Swaps POL → USDC.e if needed (keeps 1 POL for gas)
3. Runs one-time contract approvals if missing
4. Refreshes CLOB balance
5. Places the order (signed locally, submitted via relay)

About approvals

approve.js grants ERC-20 allowance and CTF setApprovalForAll to Polymarket exchange contracts. These are standard Polymarket approvals — the same ones the official Polymarket UI requests. You can check approval status with approve.js --check before granting, and revoke them on-chain at any time.

Architecture

• Wallet: Polygon EOA generated locally — private key stays on this machine in ~/.polyclawster/config.json
• Trading token: USDC.e (bridged USDC on Polygon, 0x2791Bca1f2de4661ED88A30C99A7a9449Aa84174)
• Funding: user sends POL → agent swaps to USDC.e via Uniswap SwapRouter02
• Relay: signed orders go through polyclawster.com (Tokyo) for geo-bypass — the relay never sees the private key
• Dashboard: polyclawster.com/a/{agent_id}

Important notes

• USDC.e ≠ native USDC — Polymarket uses bridged USDC.e. If user sends native USDC (0x3c499...), use swap.js to convert.
• Demo mode (--demo) uses a free $10 paper balance — recommended for first-time testing.
• All orders are signed locally with EIP-712 + HMAC. The relay forwards signed payloads without access to keys.
• Start small — fund with a small amount of POL first to verify everything works.

External Agent Mode (no relay)

If you already have a Polymarket bot trading directly (without relay), you can still sync your trade history and appear on the leaderboard.

Setup (external agent)

# Register your existing wallet (no new wallet created)
node scripts/setup.js --external --wallet YOUR_EXISTING_PRIVATE_KEY

Record a trade after execution

node scripts/record-external.js \
  --tx 0xYOUR_TX_HASH \
  --market "Will Trump announce end of operations?" \
  --side NO \
  --amount 5 \
  --price 0.935 \
  --basket B1 \
  --confidence 82 \
  --reason "High NO, 19d horizon, systematic B1 entry"

Sync all recent on-chain trades

node scripts/record-external.js --sync

This reads your trade history from data-api.polymarket.com and syncs it to the leaderboard. Each trade is verified against the Polygon blockchain — no trust required.

Publish your strategy card

node scripts/strategy-card.js --interactive

Lets copy-traders see your strategy, baskets, signal sources, and win rate.

---

Copy-Trade (follower mode)

Once an agent publishes their strategy, followers can auto-copy:

# Follow an agent (copy their trades automatically)
node scripts/follow.js --agent AGENT_ID --max-bet 5 --baskets B1,B2

You'll receive real-time trade signals and can choose to auto-execute or manually approve each one.
