Connecting to Polymarket

What is a proxy wallet?

TLDR: Proxy wallets allow you to make transactions without owning $MATIC and approving every market, saving you time and money.

A typical trade requires gas to approve and then initiate the transaction. If Polymarket did not use proxy wallets, you would need to own $MATIC to approve a market (30-60 seconds) and then initiate the transaction (20-40 seconds).

Proxywallets enable you to submit transactions through a relayer that will pay the gas, removing the need to approve every single market and pay for gas yourself.
