Pots Market Security
Your Keys. Your Orders.
Pots Market is non-custodial by design. Every order is signed by your private key via EIP-712 — verified on-chain before execution. No intermediary, including Pots Market itself, can alter, block, or touch your funds.
- Pots Market never holds user funds — all assets remain in your wallet
- Every order is EIP-712 signed — cryptographically unforgeable by any intermediary
- Settlement via Polymarket CTF Exchange on Polygon — audited by ChainSecurity
- No admin keys, no hidden fee contracts, no account freezing capability
Where Prediction Market Risks Exist
Every prediction market carries six categories of structural risk. Understanding them is the baseline for verifying any platform's security claims.
Three Principles Behind Every Decision
Every architectural decision in Pots Market is guided by one rule: limit the damage any single point of failure can cause.
No Abuse of Functions
Every API endpoint and contract interaction is designed with minimal privilege. If a function does not need write access, it does not have write access. If an interface cannot touch user funds, it will not have that access.
No Abuse of Permissions
No hidden fee contracts — all fees are transparent and on-chain. No admin keys with fund access — there is no "god mode." No backend-controlled withdrawal logic — users sign every transaction themselves.
Minimize Single Points of Failure
Non-custodial architecture eliminates a central fund pool to attack. On-chain settlement removes single operator control. Inherited Polymarket security means no reliance on a single team's code.
How Pots Market Addresses Each Risk
Each of the six structural risk categories has a specific architectural response — not a policy promise.
Non-custodial by design
Pots Market never holds user funds. All assets remain in the user's own wallet. Orders are signed by the user's private key — Pots Market cannot move, freeze, or access funds under any circumstance.
Cryptographic signing
Every order is an EIP-712 signed message. The signature is verified on-chain before execution. No intermediary — including Pots Market — can alter the price, size, or direction of a signed order.
Audited smart contracts
All trades settle via the CTF Exchange contract on Polygon, audited by ChainSecurity. Settlement is atomic and deterministic — no human discretion, no manual intervention possible.
Public resolution sources
Market resolution relies on publicly verifiable data sources such as Binance price feeds and official election results. Resolution criteria are defined before market creation and cannot be changed after the fact.
Permissionless
No KYC gate, no geographic restriction enforced by Pots Market, no account freezing capability. No admin key exists that can block a user. If you have a wallet, you can trade.
Inherited security
Pots Market does not deploy its own settlement contracts. It inherits the security of Polymarket's battle-tested, ChainSecurity-audited infrastructure — the same contracts securing billions in cumulative trading volume.
Three Independent Oversight Layers
Security claims require external verification. Pots Market operates under three independent supervision layers — each accountable to parties outside the Pots team.
External marketplace accountability
Polymarket actively monitors Builder behavior. Builders engaging in abusive practices — unauthorized fee extraction, order manipulation, misrepresentation — face penalties including badge revocation and program removal. Pots Market cannot bypass this accountability layer.
Continuous internal security review
Dedicated code audit team reviews all deployments. Automated audit tools are integrated into the CI/CD pipeline. A documented audit history records every issue found and every fix applied. Regular internal penetration testing supplements automated checks.
Independent external audits
Platform listing requirements — such as MetaMask integration — require passing independent code audits before listing. Scheduled engagements with professional third-party security firms run on an ongoing basis. A public bug bounty is open for responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities.
Everything Is On-Chain. Verify It Yourself.
You do not need to trust Pots Market. Every position, order, fee, and settlement is independently verifiable on Polygon — no special access required.
Positions
All positions are on-chain ERC1155 balances. Queryable by any Polygon block explorer at any time — no permissions needed.
Order History
Every order is recorded with its EIP-712 signature, verifiable against your public key. No order can be silently altered or deleted from the chain.
Fee Transparency
No hidden deduction contracts. Fee structures are on-chain. What the interface shows is exactly what the contract executes — no silent charges.
Settlement
Every trade settlement is permanently recorded on Polygon. CTF Exchange source code is publicly auditable on GitHub — anyone can read the contract logic.
