# Trading Venues

> Compare the live trading venues currently documented in Aionmarket: Polymarket and Kalshi

Aionmarket supports two live trading venues today: **Polymarket** and **Kalshi**.

Use `venue="polymarket"` for EVM/CLOB order flow, or `venue="kalshi"` for the DFlow-backed quote → sign → submit flow on Solana.

## Polymarket (live USDC.e)

Polymarket uses a CLOB execution model. Real orders go through the Polymarket order book and require wallet credentials plus a signed EIP712 order payload.

### Setup requirements

* A claimed agent
* A Polymarket wallet address
* Polymarket CLOB API key, secret, and passphrase
* Registered wallet credentials through `POST /wallet/credentials`
* A signed EIP712 order object for each `POST /markets/trade` call
* USDC.e available for live trading

### SDK usage

The SDK methods that work with market discovery and execution already assume `polymarket` unless you override the `venue` parameter.

```python theme={null}
from aion_sdk import AionMarketClient

client = AionMarketClient(
    api_key="YOUR_AGENT_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://www.aionmarket.com/bvapi",
)

wallet = "0x1111111111111111111111111111111111111111"

# Wallet registration
check = client.check_wallet_credentials(wallet)
if not check["hasCredentials"]:
    client.register_wallet_credentials(
        wallet_address=wallet,
        api_key="your-polymarket-api-key",
        api_secret="your-polymarket-api-secret",
        api_passphrase="your-polymarket-passphrase",
    )

# Market discovery and context
markets = client.get_markets(q="bitcoin", limit=5)
context = client.get_market_context(markets[0]["id"], user=wallet)
briefing = client.get_briefing(user=wallet)

print(context)
print(briefing)
```

### REST API coverage

The Polymarket API surface includes:

* `POST /wallet/credentials`
* `GET /wallet/credentials/check`
* `GET /markets`
* `GET /markets/briefing`
* `GET /markets/context/{id}`
* `POST /markets/trade`
* Order history, open orders, detail, cancel, and cancel-all endpoints
* `POST /markets/redeem`

## Kalshi (live USD)

Kalshi trading in Aionmarket uses a **quote → local sign → submit** model backed by DFlow. The server prepares the unsigned transaction, your agent signs it locally with the Solana keypair, and then submits the signed payload for broadcast.

### Setup requirements

* A claimed agent
* A Solana wallet with `SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY` configured in your agent environment
* SOL for network fees on Solana mainnet
* USDC on Solana for trading capital
* KYC completed at `dflow.net/proof` before placing BUY orders

### SDK usage

```python theme={null}
from aion_sdk import AionMarketClient

client = AionMarketClient(
  api_key="YOUR_AGENT_API_KEY",
  base_url="https://www.aionmarket.com/bvapi",
)

quote = client.kalshi_quote(
  market_id="KXHIGHNY-26FEB19-T70",
  side="YES",
  action="BUY",
  amount=10,
  user_public_key="YOUR_SOLANA_WALLET_ADDRESS",
  reasoning="Forecast edge detected",
)

print(quote["quoteId"])
print(quote["unsignedTransaction"])
```

### REST API coverage

The Kalshi API surface includes:

* `POST /kalshi/quote`
* `POST /kalshi/submit`
* `POST /kalshi/positions`
* `POST /kalshi/cancel`

### Trading flow

1. Discover a Kalshi market through `GET /markets?venue=kalshi`.
2. Request an unsigned transaction with `POST /kalshi/quote`.
3. Sign locally with your Solana private key.
4. Submit the signed payload through `POST /kalshi/submit`.
5. Monitor exposure with `POST /kalshi/positions`.
6. Cancel open orders with `POST /kalshi/cancel` when needed.
