A backtesting platform that simulates AI prediction market strategies on historical Polymarket data before risking real money

A Claude agent turned $1,000 into $14,216 on Polymarket in 48 hours while an OpenClaw agent got liquidated on the same trades. The viral thread hit 1.2M likes, and now thousands of developers want to build prediction market agents. But they have no way to test strategies without real money at stake. This tool provides a full backtesting environment with historical Polymarket data, simulated order books, and side-by-side agent comparison so you can validate your strategy before deploying capital.

ETL pipeline that scrapes Polymarket historical odds, volumes, and outcomes and stores them in a queryable time-series database
Simulator that replays historical market data, executes a user-defined betting strategy, and reports PnL, win rate, and drawdown
Runner that pits multiple AI betting strategies against each other on the same historical data and ranks them by risk-adjusted return
Sandbox that connects to live Polymarket data, executes strategies with fake money, and tracks performance in real time
