POTS

POTS is a decentralized prediction and treasury ecosystem built around two connected products: Pots Market, a non-custodial terminal that routes orders into Polymarket's shared CLOB, and Pots Money, a companion treasury protocol that issues the IBS token against a fixed one-dollar collateral floor on BNB Chain. Predicts.guru curates it as a Trading Terminal, and its Polymarket profile carries a verified badge.

The operator describes POTS as answering to its community rather than a company, with node voting and open code deciding how the protocol runs rather than a central operator. Pots Market's job is turning scattered opinions on real-world events into price signals on Polymarket's order book, while Pots Money keeps a treasury running behind it, with contracts made public and audited by CertiK and Bitlabs.

A trader connects a wallet to Pots Market and signs each order with that wallet's own key before anything reaches the book; POTS never takes custody of the funds behind the trade. The signed order then routes into Polymarket's shared central limit order book under POTS's own builder code, so it fills against the same liquidity every other builder draws on rather than against a private pool.

That routing choice means POTS's role stops at the signature: it forwards the order, it does not hold the collateral, and settlement happens on Polymarket's own contracts once the market resolves. The companion protocol, Pots Money, runs separately as an on-chain treasury, issuing the IBS token and managing the liquidity that backs its one-dollar floor, with a multi-signature setup requiring sign-off from a distributed group of signers rather than a single wallet holding the keys.

For a trader routing flow through Pots Market, the practical takeaway is that custody stays with the wallet at every step, and the treasury side operates as a separate, auditable system rather than as the counterparty to any trade.

• Wallet-signed order execution

  Every order is signed by the trader's own wallet key before it reaches the book, so POTS itself never takes custody of the funds behind a trade.

• Audited treasury contracts

  Pots Money's contracts have been reviewed by CertiK and Bitlabs and are published for anyone to inspect, giving a trader an outside check on the protocol backing the IBS token.

• Distributed treasury sign-off

  The treasury requires approval from a distributed group of signers rather than one wallet, which limits how much damage a single compromised key can do to the funds backing IBS.

Traders wary of custodial risk

Anyone uneasy about a platform holding their funds can route orders through POTS and keep signing authority with their own wallet the entire time.

Bitcoin-focused market watchers

With bitcoin making up the largest slice of recent flow through POTS, and Will the price of Bitcoin be less than $68,000 on August 28 among the specific contracts traders picked, this suits traders already watching Bitcoin price thresholds.

Small, retail-sized position takers

Average fill size around $88 points to a retail crowd rather than large desks, so traders comfortable sizing similarly will fit the flow already routing through POTS.

Position openers over closers

Buy share of 94.8% shows most volume opens new positions rather than closing them, so this fits traders who mainly enter rather than exit through a builder.

Custody stays with the trader: every order is signed by the trader's own wallet, and POTS does not appear to hold funds at any point in the flow into Polymarket's order book. Transparency comes from outside audits of Pots Money's contracts by CertiK and Bitlabs and from a multi-signature treasury that requires sign-off from a distributed group of signers rather than one key holder.

The operational exposure sits elsewhere: a community-governed protocol with no central operator means there is no single party to escalate to if a contract behaves unexpectedly, and the one-dollar floor on IBS depends on protocol-owned liquidity holding up under stress.

• What is POTS?

  POTS is a non-custodial trading terminal that routes wallet-signed orders into Polymarket's shared order book, paired with Pots Money, a treasury protocol issuing the IBS token on BNB Chain.

• Is POTS safe to use?

  Orders never leave the trader's wallet unsigned, and Pots Money's contracts carry audits from CertiK and Bitlabs, but a community-governed protocol with no central operator leaves no single party to escalate a dispute to.

• What fees does POTS charge?

  The operator publishes no fee schedule for POTS. What a trader pays instead is Polymarket's own per-market trading fee, which applies equally to every builder routing an order into that market, so it says nothing about POTS specifically.

• Does POTS hold my funds?

  No. Every order is signed by the trader's own wallet before it reaches Polymarket's order book, and the operator describes the platform as routing orders rather than taking custody of them.

• What is Pots Money and how does it relate to POTS?

  Pots Money is the treasury protocol paired with POTS's trading terminal. It issues the IBS token against a one-dollar collateral floor on BNB Chain, managed through a multi-signature setup and audited by CertiK and Bitlabs.

• What are the alternatives to POTS for trading on Polymarket?

  Traders comparing builders should weigh #24 against volume, fills and average fill size for other terminals on the leaderboard, since a published fee schedule and trading history vary from tool to tool.

• How long has POTS been routing volume on Polymarket?

  POTS has been live since 2026-05-05, giving it 133 of routing history through the data cutoff on 2026-09-14, still short of a full market cycle.
