In the fast-paced world of crypto and prediction markets, innovative tools are always popping up to give traders an edge. Recently, Degen Ape Trader shared an exciting development on X (formerly Twitter) about building a standard market maker bot on Polymarket. The core idea? Capturing the spreads between Yes and No positions in these markets.

For those new to the concept, Polymarket is a decentralized prediction market platform where users bet on the outcomes of real-world events using cryptocurrency. Each market has Yes and No shares, priced between 1¢ and 99¢, reflecting the perceived probability of the event happening. The spread refers to the difference between the bid (what buyers are willing to pay) and ask (what sellers are asking) prices. A market maker bot automates buying low and selling high across these spreads, essentially providing liquidity and profiting from the difference.

Degen Ape Trader describes this as a basic strategy but teases a more advanced version. This upgrade could involve cross-hedging on Hyperliquid, another crypto platform known for perpetual futures and advanced trading tools. Additionally, the bot might exploit inefficient pricing within Polymarket itself, spotting arbitrage opportunities where prices don't add up perfectly.

The tweet includes a video demo showcasing the bot in action on a Polymarket interface. From the footage, we see an order book with active bids and asks, a 57% probability for the Yes outcome, and trading volume around $95,170. The spread is visible at 2¢, with buy options for Yes at 58¢ and No at 44¢. It's a clear illustration of how the bot could jump in to capture those small but scalable profits.

What makes this particularly intriguing for meme token enthusiasts and blockchain practitioners is the potential application to volatile markets. Meme tokens often see wild price swings, and similar bots could be adapted for DEXs or other platforms where spreads are wide. Automating market making not only boosts efficiency but also helps stabilize prices by adding liquidity— a win for the entire ecosystem.

The community response was positive, with replies expressing interest. One user, Karim, chimed in with "The shippining has just begun!"—likely a playful nod to "shipping" code or products. Ankharia suggested implementing it on Myriad, though Degen Ape noted the high 3% fees there. Others asked for demos of spread capturing and pondered profitability in bear markets. Even a mention of not missing @spreddai, hinting at related tools in the space.

If you're into crypto bots or prediction markets, this could be a game-changer. Degen Ape ends by asking if folks are interested, sparking discussions on potential rewards for liquidity providers on Polymarket. As the blockchain world evolves, tools like this bot could become staples for savvy traders looking to automate and optimize their strategies.
