All set! Your environment is configured correctly.

Getting Started

Welcome to Polymarket AI Agent — an autonomous trading system that uses multi-model AI consensus to identify and execute trades on Polymarket.

1
Configure Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the root directory with the following:

# BlockRun AI Configuration (Required for AI analysis) # Your Base chain wallet private key - used for x402 micropayments BLOCKRUN_WALLET_KEY=your_base_chain_private_key_here # Dashboard Login ADMIN_USER=admin ADMIN_PASS=your_secure_password_here # Flask app settings FLASK_SECRET_KEY=your_flask_secret_key_here # Polymarket Trading (Required for placing bets) # Polygon wallet private key for trading POLYGON_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY=your_polygon_private_key_here # Trading settings (Kelly Criterion) INITIAL_BANKROLL=100 MAX_BET_PERCENTAGE=0.05 MIN_EDGE_PERCENTAGE=0.15

Setup BlockRun AI (Pay-per-use AI)

BlockRun Wallet Setup

BlockRun uses x402 micropayments — no API keys needed, just a wallet with USDC on Base chain.

  • Create a wallet on Base chain (e.g., using MetaMask)
  • Export your private key for the BLOCKRUN_WALLET_KEY
  • Fund it with USDC on Base (only ~$0.001 per AI request)
  • Visit blockrun.ai for more info

Polymarket Trading Wallet

For trading on Polymarket, you need a separate wallet on Polygon chain:

  • Create or use an existing Polygon wallet
  • Export your private key for POLYGON_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY
  • Fund it with USDC on Polygon for trading
  • The agent will use this wallet to place bets
💡

Pro Tip: You can use the same private key for both wallets — the same key works on Base (for AI) and Polygon (for trading). Different chains, same address.
