Allium publishes guide to Polymarket on-chain volume data
Allium has published a guide explaining how to access and interpret Polymarket's on-chain trading volume data. Because Polymarket settles trades on-chain using USDC on the Polygon network, the activity is recorded in public smart contract events that anyone can query.
Why this matters?
Gives third-party analysts and competitors a roadmap to audit Polymarket's volume claims independently, raising transparency standards for the sector.
The bigger picture
Third recent move by Polymarket to shore up credibility and competitive position against Kalshi, after a $20 billion valuation push and recruiting raids on Robinhood, Coinbase, and Nasdaq for U.S. hires.
