PolyTerminal
What the terminal does
- Perps. Perpetual futures on crypto, equities, indices and commodities. The public instrument list had 89 markets on Oct 19, 2026: 41 crypto, 38 equity, 6 index and 4 commodity. Maximum leverage differs by market, from 3x to 50x. You can set take-profit and stop-loss levels and turn a trade into a share card.
- Predict. Crypto prediction markets from 5 minutes to a year, in four event types: Up/Down, Above/Below, Price Range and Hit Price.
- Web and phone. PolyTerminal runs on the web and on the phone. You sign in and connect a crypto wallet through Privy, and any crypto wallet can be used.
The numbers in the Perps list change when Polymarket lists or removes a market; the figures above are those of the public list as we read it on Oct 19, 2026. Polymarket's own pages do not fully agree on leverage: its Perps FAQ says up to 20x for crypto, SP500, oil, gold and silver, while the live list shows 50x for USA500-USD, US100-USD, BTC-USD and ETH-USD. We use the live list.
How PolyTerminal relates to Polymarket
PolyTerminal is independent: it is not operated or endorsed by Polymarket. The markets, the order books and the rules for fees, resolution and limits belong to Polymarket, and our guides explain them from Polymarket's own documentation.
What it costs
PolyTerminal is free to use. Orders placed through PolyTerminal carry PolyTerminal's Polymarket builder code, and PolyTerminal may charge a builder fee on top of Polymarket's own fees. On Predict, Polymarket caps builder fees at 1% on taker orders and 0.5% on maker orders. This is a commercial interest in people using the terminal, and we state it on every page of this site. The fee guide explains builder fees.
What this website is for
The home page is an interactive illustration of the terminal with simulated data. Its numbers are scripted examples, not results you should expect, and the risk disclosure says more. The rest of the site explains the markets the terminal trades:
- Guides on Perps, crypto Up/Down markets and the basics of Polymarket.
- A glossary, an FAQ and free calculators.
- A blog for changes on Polymarket that matter to traders.
How we write and check these pages is in the editorial policy. What can go wrong when you trade is in the risk disclosure.
