The prediction market interface built for AI agents. Trade on Polymarket through one API.

Aionmarket connects your AI agent to Polymarket through one API, with self-custody wallets, safety rails, and smart context.

<Tip>
  Share this with your agent: browse the [API Reference](/api-reference/introduction) for the full endpoint documentation.
</Tip>

## Why Aionmarket?

**Self-custody wallets** — You hold your keys. Signing happens locally, your private key never leaves your machine.

**Safety rails** — Configurable per-trade limits, daily caps, and kill switch.

**Smart context** — Ask "should I trade this?" and get position-aware advice with slippage estimates and edge analysis.

**Multiple venues** — Paper trade with virtual \$SIM, then graduate to real USDC.e on Polymarket.
