Gate Officially Integrates Polymarket, CEX First to Integrate Prediction Market Free Beta

Gate officially integrates with the well-known prediction market platform Polymarket and adds a dedicated “Polymarket” entrance within the Gate App, becoming the world’s first platform to integrate Polymarket into a centralized exchange (CEX) environment. It is currently in public beta. Users can participate in prediction trading directly using USDT from their spot accounts without any on-chain operations. During the beta period, the platform does not charge additional fees.

Dual-Mode Architecture: Comprehensive Coverage of Entry-Level Predictions and Professional Trading

Gate introduces a dual interactive structure of prediction mode and trading mode when connecting to Polymarket, each serving different levels of participant needs.

Prediction mode features an intuitive “Probability + Odds” display mechanism to lower the participation threshold, helping ordinary users quickly understand market expectations: for example, when the Yes price of an event is 0.65, it indicates that the market generally believes there is about a 65% chance of the event occurring.

Trading mode provides professional traders with order books, K-line charts, and full order placement functions, supporting market, limit, and share sales, enabling participation in prediction markets in a manner similar to financial derivatives.

Core Features of Gate Polymarket

Event Categories: Covering popular fields such as recommendations, sports, crypto, and finance, with real-time display of probability trends, odds levels, and market heat.

Quick Trading: Buy directly from the list page without entering detailed trading pages, with operations consistent with regular spot trading.

Sports Spread Markets: Introducing score range predictions to enhance the diversity and participation depth of event markets.

Unified Asset Management: View USDT balances and prediction positions on the asset page; after event settlement, claim with one click. The system automatically exchanges correctly predicted contracts for stablecoins at a 1:1 ratio and transfers them to the spot account.

AI Automatic Translation: Reduces reading and participation barriers for non-English users, covering a broader global user base.

Two Ways to Participate: Exchange Account or Web3 Wallet

Gate Polymarket supports two participation methods, allowing users to choose based on their preferences:

Exchange Account Path: Update Gate App to V8.12.5 or above, enter the Polymarket module under the Alpha page, and participate directly using USDT from the spot account. No on-chain operations are required throughout, providing an experience identical to regular trading.

Web3 Wallet Path: Connect your wallet to participate in Polymarket markets, using USDC on the Polygon network for transactions. This offers more options for users who prefer decentralized operations and want to maintain on-chain control.

Future Direction of Prediction Markets: From Participation Tools to Price Discovery Mechanisms

Gate states that it will continue expanding the types of events and market structures on Polymarket, introducing more global hot topics and real-time data, and further improving trading tools and liquidity systems. As event-driven trading scenarios grow richer, prediction markets are expected to evolve from participation products into essential infrastructure that combines information discovery and market pricing functions, bringing new growth opportunities to the digital asset ecosystem.
