Is PolyGate The House?

July 29, 2026

PolyGate is different in a few key ways:

1. Traders interact directly with each other, not with PolyGate

PolyGate is a marketplace comprised of traders on both sides of any given market. This means you're always trading with other users, not against a centralized entity or "house." Prices on PolyGate are determined by supply and demand. As traders buy and sell shares in outcomes, prices fluctuate to reflect the collective sentiment and knowledge of market participants.

2. Transact at any time

PolyGate enables you to sell your position at any time before the market resolves, provided there is a willing buyer of your shares. This offers flexibility and allows you to manage your risk and lock in profits or cut losses as you see fit.

In essence, PolyGate empowers you to trade based on your own knowledge and research, without going up against a "house" with potentially unfair advantages.
