Sura hii inafunika nini

Polymarket inalipa liquidity providers kupitia maker-rewards program katika eligible markets. Strategy ya kufarm rewards hizi ni well-defined lakini margins ni thin na inventory risk ni real. Sura hii inafunika spread thresholds za kuqualify, ROI math, na ambapo farming inafanya kazi vs ambapo inableed.

Jinsi Polymarket liquidity reward program inavyofanya kazi

Polymarket inaendesha liquidity rewards program inayolipa maker rebates kwa traders wanaotoa resting limit orders katika eligible markets. Exchange inaaggregate eligible quotes daily na inasambaza rewards proportional kwa time-weighted spread-improving order share.

Eligible markets zinashift weekly - typically high-priority events (election years, major sports tournaments) ambapo Polymarket inataka deeper books. Eligible list inapublished kwenye Polymarket rewards page; check kabla ya kustructure farming strategy karibu na market.

Rewards zinalipa katika pUSD, zinawekwa periodically (typically daily au weekly). Ni separate na trade PnL - unaweza kuwa net-down kwenye inventory na net-up kwenye rewards kwenye market sawa katika period sawa.

Spread thresholds za kuqualify

Rewards eligibility inahitaji quote yako iwe ndani ya "qualifying spread" ya midpoint, currently karibu ±3-5% ya mid kwa binary markets. Quotes nje ya band bado zinapumzika kwenye book lakini hazipati reward.

Narrower unavyoquote, more competitive share yako ya per-block reward, lakini more often unahit-ed na adverse selection. Wider unavyoquote, safer lakini smaller reward share yako. Sweet spot kwa markets nyingi ni ~1-2c off mid kwenye kila upande.

Eligibility pia ina minimum order size (typically shares 5+; inamatch GTC minimum). Orders chini ya minimum zinapumzika kwenye book lakini hazihesabu kwa rewards.

ROI math: rebate + fee saving + spread

Full reward-farming ROI ina components tatu.

• Rebate income: per-share rebate × fills, lipwa katika pUSD. Numbers zinatofautiana; current range ni 0.1-0.5c per filled share.
• Spread captured: ikiwa unaquote 1c juu na chini ya mid, na pande zote zinafill, unapata 2c per round trip. Actual capture rate inategemea fill imbalance.
• Inventory PnL: position unayoaccumulate ina mark-to-market exposure. Inaweza kuwa positive au negative; kawaida ndogo ikiwa strategy imedesignedwa vizuri.

Sample math: kwenye market inayoquote shares 100 per side, 60% fill rate per side juu ya 24-hour period, $0.30/sh rebate. Reward: 100 × 0.60 × $0.30 = $18/day. Spread capture: fills sawa, 1c spread × 60 round trips = $0.60. Rebate inadominate spread katika volume-thin markets; spread inadominate katika volume-thick markets.

Best markets kwa farming

Economic profile inayopendelea farming:

• High eligible reward rate - check rewards page kwa current per-share rebate per market.
• Moderate volume - fills za kutosha kupata meaningful reward, sio nyingi kwamba competitive makers wanakula share yako.
• Stable mid - prefer markets ambapo implied probability haisikuhama 10c katika single news event. Election markets pre-news ni nzuri; resolution-imminent markets sio.
• Narrow natural spread - markets ambapo existing book tayari ni tight inamaanisha unashindana kwenye rebate distribution, sio kufungua market.

Epuka: markets katika last 24h kabla ya resolution (price jumps zinaharibu inventory), markets na consistent one-sided flow (unaaccumulate huge directional exposure).

Risk: inventory blowup

Risk dominant ya farming ni kuaccumulate directional exposure wakati wa price move. Ikiwa mid inadrop kutoka 0.55 hadi 0.42 katika saa, bid yako inafill repeatedly wakati ask yako inakaa unfilled; unamaliza long N shares kwa average cost juu ya current mid.

Cures:

• Inventory cap: acha kuquote upande ambapo tayari uko long sana.
• Skew: ukiwa long, pull bid wider na tighten ask. Ukiwa short, inverse.
• Kill switch: wakati inventory inaexceed 2x normal range au mid inahama >X% kutoka ulipoanza, halt na flatten.

Farming PnL ni sum ya rewards + spread − inventory MTM. Blowups zinatokea kwa sababu third term inaenda massively negative kwenye single news-driven mid move.

Code: minimal LP-farming MM

Reference: simplest viable liquidity-rewards-farming maker.

QUOTE_OFFSET = 0.01     # 1c off mid each side
INV_CAP = 50            # max long or short
SIZE = 5                # GTC minimum

def farm_loop(token_id):
    while True:
        book = fetch_book(token_id)
        mid = (book.best_bid + book.best_ask) / 2
        inv = chain_balance(token_id)

        cancel_my_quotes(token_id)
        if inv < INV_CAP:
            post_gtc(token_id, "BUY",  mid - QUOTE_OFFSET, SIZE)
        if inv > -INV_CAP:
            post_gtc(token_id, "SELL", mid + QUOTE_OFFSET, min(SIZE, abs(inv)))
        time.sleep(30)  # re-quote every 30s

Production additions: skew kwenye inventory, news-event pause, daily PnL reconciliation ikijumuisha rebate stream.
