FAQ
What is Polymarket?
Polymarket is the world's largest prediction market — a peer-to-peer exchange where traders buy and sell shares of real-world outcomes, settled in USDC on the Polygon blockchain.

Each share pays $1 USDC if the outcome resolves YES (e.g. Manchester City wins the Premier League) and $0 otherwise. Resolution is determined by Polymarket's UMA-based oracle shortly after the event ends.
Is Polymarket legal in the US?
