polymarket-hft

[!CAUTION] > Early Development (Pre-0.1.0) - API wrappers are not fully tested. Breaking changes may occur. Do not use in production.

A high-frequency trading (HFT) system for Polymarket with built-in API clients and CLI.

Architecture Overview

The system is designed as a modular, event-driven architecture:

Clients → Ingestors → Dispatcher → Policy Engine → Action Executor
                              ↓
                State Manager + Archiver

Supported Clients & APIs - Currently implemented clients and APIs are:

API	Protocol	Status
Polymarket Data API	REST	✅
Polymarket Gamma Markets	REST	✅
Polymarket CLOB	REST + WebSocket	✅
Polymarket RTDS	WebSocket	✅
CoinMarketCap Standard	REST	✅
CoinGecko Demo	REST	✅
Alternative.me Crypto	REST	✅

Storage - State Manager and Archiver are implemented using Redis and TimescaleDB.

Policy Engine — Define trading rules via YAML/JSON without code:

policies:
  - id: btc_alert
    conditions:
      field: price
      asset: "BTC"
      operator: crosses_below
      value: 80000
    actions:
      - type: notification
        channel: telegram
        template: "BTC below $80K!"

Action Executor - supports notifications, orders and audit logging.

See Architecture and Policy Engine for details.

Quick Start

As a Library

[dependencies]
polymarket-hft = "0.0.6"

use polymarket_hft::client::polymarket::data::Client;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let client = Client::new();
    let health = client.health().await?;
    println!("API status: {}", health.data);
    Ok(())
}

As a CLI

cargo run -- data health
cargo run -- gamma get-markets -l 5
cargo run -- clob get-orderbook -m "0x..."

Note

• CoinMarketCap: Requires API key from CoinMarketCap Developer Portal. Set CMC_API_KEY env var.
• CoinGecko: Requires API key from CoinGecko. Set CG_API_KEY env var.

See Client Documentation and CLI Guide for details.

Roadmap

• ✅ v0.0.x - API clients (Data, Gamma, CLOB, RTDS) and CLI
• 🚧 v0.1.x - HFT Engine: Dispatcher, State Management, Strategy Engine
• 📋 v1.0.x - Production-ready with validated trading strategies

See Architecture for detailed HFT engine design.
