How Arbitrage Agent Works

From market scanning to guaranteed profit — in 5 steps and under 200 milliseconds.

STEP 01

Real-Time Market Scanning

Arbitrage Agent monitors 10,000+ binary event markets across Polymarket and Kalshi simultaneously. Every second, it compares YES and NO prices for events listed on both platforms — politics, crypto, sports, economics, and more.

STEP 02

AI-Powered Event Matching

The same event is often listed with different titles on each platform. Our AI matching engine identifies that "Will BTC reach $100K by July?" on Polymarket is the same event as "Bitcoin above $100,000 on July 1" on Kalshi — even when the wording is completely different.

STEP 03

Spread & Risk Calculation

When a price gap exists, the bot calculates the gross spread, deducts platform fees (~1% per side), and determines the net edge. Only opportunities above your configured minimum threshold (typically 1.5%+) are flagged for execution. Use the free calculator to see how this math works.

STEP 04

Simultaneous Execution

Both legs of the arbitrage trade fire simultaneously in under 200ms — buying YES on one platform and NO on the other. This speed matters: arbitrage windows typically last 30–200 seconds before market makers close the gap. Manual traders can't compete.

STEP 05

Automatic Settlement

When the event resolves, one contract pays $1.00 and the other pays $0.00. Since you hold both sides, you always receive exactly $1.00 — and your profit (the difference between $1.00 and what you paid) was locked in at execution. No prediction required.
