About Polymarket Builders Program
The Builders Program funds developers who build apps, tools and experiments on top of Polymarket, the prediction market on Polygon. Polymarket says grants go to the best teams based on product innovation and traction, from a pool of more than $2.5M.
You join by building: you create a builder profile, attach your Builder Code to the orders your app sends, and your volume is attributed to you. Verified builders appear on a public leaderboard, and the most active ones earn weekly USDC rewards based on that volume. Builders can also charge their own fees on the order flow.
Polymarket's Request for Builders lists ideas it wants to see, such as pro trading terminals, analytics and portfolio tools, AI decision tools, and DeFi primitives like lending and vaults built on prediction market positions.
