fireplace

fireplace is a browser-based trading terminal for Polymarket, reachable at its own web address rather than through a chat app, and it carries a verified builder profile on Polymarket. Its own site now leads with a single message: the operator is winding the product down, trading closes on a stated date, and every user with an open account is expected to move funds out before then.

Signed in, the terminal exposed a full set of trading and research panels, including Discover, Markets, Workspace, Portfolio, Wallets, News, Rewards, Watchlist and Disputes, alongside a wallet tracker and a news feed running beside the order screens. The Telegram link attached to fireplace opens a group chat of traders discussing the product, not a bot that places orders, so nothing about trading itself happens inside Telegram.

A trader used fireplace by signing into the web terminal directly, and the account created there, not an external wallet connected fresh for every order, held trading authority. The operator's own migration instructions confirm this: they state plainly that during migration the app signs the on-chain transfer while a trader's private key never leaves fireplace, which describes a custodial arrangement rather than self-custody.

Orders placed from that account routed into Polymarket's own central limit order book under fireplace's builder code, landing on the same markets and the same shared liquidity as every other Polymarket front end. fireplace supplied the interface and the account that held funds, not a separate venue or its own order book, so positions and cash sat inside fireplace's system rather than in a wallet the trader controlled independently.

To leave now, a trader opens a standard Polymarket account, cancels any resting limit orders inside fireplace so cash and shares are free, then copies that new account's copy address, not its deposit address, into fireplace and triggers one on-chain transfer covering every open position and the entire cash balance at once. fireplace states that transfer is final once sent, and that support stops once the app itself goes offline.

• Wallet tracker panel

  Follows other wallets' Polymarket activity inside the terminal itself, so a trader can watch specific addresses without leaving fireplace for a block explorer.

• Disputes tracking panel

  Surfaces markets currently under dispute in their own tab, letting a trader flag contested resolutions before deciding whether to hold or exit a position.

• Integrated news feed

  Runs a news feed alongside the order screens so market-moving headlines sit next to the position a trader is currently watching, rather than in a separate tab.

• Saved market watchlist

  Lets a trader pin specific markets for quick return, useful for tracking a shortlist across categories like EPL without rebuilding the search each time.

Existing account holders

Anyone who already has cash or open positions sitting in fireplace needs to run the migration steps before the shutdown date arrives, since support ends after that.

Wallet-watching traders

Traders who used the wallet tracker to follow specific addresses got a research tool distinct from Polymarket's own site, though it now sits inside a closing app.

New traders evaluating builders

Should look elsewhere, since fireplace is not opening new accounts and its whole current interface is built around leaving, not trading.

Traders chasing category flow

EPL activity and markets like Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal by August 31 made up recent volume here, but that reflects where existing users traded, not an opening for new entrants.

Traders sizing by average fill

With an average fill of $444, fireplace's cohort skewed toward moderate-size positions rather than either small retail clips or large desk tickets, though that history is now closed.

fireplace held custody during normal use: its own migration instructions state that the app signs the on-chain transfer and that a trader's private key never left fireplace, meaning the account, not an external wallet, controlled the funds. That custody model matters most right now, since the same signing arrangement moves an entire cash balance and every open position in one irreversible on-chain step during the wind-down. The Polymarket profile behind fireplace carries verified attribution, and its Telegram presence is a real group chat rather than an anonymous channel, but neither offsets the exposure of a shutting-down app still holding a balance until the trader acts.

• Is fireplace still open for new trading?

  No. The operator has posted a wind-down notice on its own site stating that trading closes on a set date and instructing every user to migrate cash and positions elsewhere before then.

• What happens to money left in fireplace after it shuts down?

  The operator says funds stay the trader's own and nothing is sold automatically, but support ends once the app goes offline, so migrating before that point is the trader's own responsibility.

• Does fireplace charge trading fees?

  The operator publishes no fee schedule, so there is no advertised rate to compare; Polymarket's own per-market trading fee applies the same way regardless of which builder routed the order.

• Is the fireplace Telegram a trading bot?

  No. It is a group chat where traders discuss the product rather than a bot account, so no order placement or account action happens through Telegram itself.

• How do I move my funds out of fireplace?

  Create a standard Polymarket account, cancel any open orders inside fireplace, then paste that account's copy address, not its deposit address, into fireplace to trigger one on-chain transfer of everything at once.

• Who held custody of funds while fireplace was active?

  fireplace did. Its own instructions describe signing transfers on the trader's behalf and state that the private key never left the app, which describes custody rather than self-custody.

• Should a new trader start using fireplace now?

  No. With trading closing and the interface now built around leaving rather than opening accounts, a new trader gains nothing from routing flow through a builder that is shutting down.
