The comparison is a single row. Polymarket lists the markets, runs the order book and settles the trades in both cases, and a share that costs 72 cents on Polymarket costs 72 cents on OffMarket. OffMarket changes one thing: on Polymarket, every position an account holds is shown on that account’s public profile, where trackers, leaderboards and profile searches read it; on OffMarket, positions are not publicly linked to the account that placed them. Prices match because OffMarket routes orders to the Polymarket order book rather than running a market of its own.
Who is OffMarket for?
OffMarket is for traders who want the depth and the markets of Polymarket without a public record of their positions. A trader with a public record is followed: wallet trackers post each new position within seconds, the leaderboard advertises a good month, and a profile search turns a wallet address into a person with one matching username. OffMarket removes the public record while keeping everything else. The requirements are a Google account or a crypto wallet, and USDC to deposit. There is no new wallet to set up and nothing to install. Markets open on OffMarket the same way they open on Polymarket, and fills come from the same order book, so the prices match to the cent.
