Wallet Setup

Configure your trading wallet for Polymarket and Kalshi prediction markets.

📊 Polymarket Wallet

How It Works

Polymarket uses a Polygon-based wallet system with a Safe (Gnosis Safe) smart contract wallet for secure, gasless transactions. The MCP server manages wallet creation and CLOB credentials.

Note: Use setup_wallet to deploy your Safe wallet and set up trading credentials. All transactions are gasless via Polymarket's relayer.

Setting Up Your Polymarket Wallet

  1. Get an API Key - Generate one from the Get Started page (requires access code)
  2. Use the setup_wallet tool - This deploys your Safe wallet and sets up CLOB credentials for trading
  3. Fund your wallet - Deposit USDC on Polygon to your Safe address
  4. Start trading - Use place_order to trade

📈 Kalshi Wallet (Solana)

How It Works

Kalshi markets are accessed via DFlow on Solana. You'll need a Solana wallet (Ed25519 keypair) to trade. The MCP server can generate one for you, or you can import an existing Phantom wallet.

Important: Keep your wallet's private key secure. If lost, you cannot recover funds. Export and backup your wallet immediately after creation.

Option 1: Generate New Wallet

# Ask Claude to create a wallet

"Create a new Solana wallet for Kalshi trading with password: MySecurePass123"

The wallet will be encrypted with your password and stored securely.

Option 2: Import from Phantom

  1. Open Phantom wallet → Settings → Security & Privacy
  2. Select "Show Secret Recovery Phrase" or export private key
  3. Use the kalshi_import_wallet tool with your key

# Import existing Phantom wallet

"Import my Phantom wallet with private key: [your-base58-key] and password: MySecurePass123"

🔐 Security Best Practices

Use Strong Passwords

Your wallet password encrypts your private key. Use at least 12 characters with mixed case, numbers, and symbols.

Backup Your Wallet

Use export_wallet to create an encrypted backup. Store it securely offline.

Never Share Private Keys

The MCP server never logs or transmits your private keys. Don't share them in chat or with anyone claiming to be support.

Start Small

Test with small amounts first. Prediction markets involve risk - never trade more than you can afford to lose.
