Polyterminus vs the native Polymarket UI
Polymarket built the market and the settlement — nobody's replacing them. The native interface, though, is optimised for casual users clicking through headlines. If you're here to actually trade — scalp binary windows, copy whales, run agents, cap your drawdown — you outgrow it fast. Below: what changes, and the honest cases where the native UI still wins.
Trading UX
| Task | polymarket.com | Polyterminus |
|---|---|---|
| Micro-buy under $5 | Modal → confirm → wait | Tap $1/$5/$10 tile, done |
| Live top-of-book bid/ask | HTTP polling ~30s | WebSocket ticks |
| One-click take-profit / stop-loss | Not natively supported | Cent-price TP + browser-side SL |
| Cross-market order routing | Native depth chart per market | Same market data, richer overlays |
Discovery
| Task | polymarket.com | Polyterminus |
|---|---|---|

Risk & compliance
