Polymarket Launches Telegram Mini App for Prediction Markets

Polymarket has launched Predict with Polymarket, a Telegram app that lets users access prediction markets directly within Telegram.

Predict with Polymarket works as a Telegram mini app. Users open the app, connect a crypto wallet, top up their balance with USDT — a stablecoin* pegged to the US dollar — and then access Polymarket’s prediction markets.

The launch is intended to make Polymarket easier for Telegram users to access. Users no longer need to go to the platform’s website separately or manually arrange deposits through third-party crypto services.

Deposits and withdrawals are built into the app. Users select an amount, confirm the transaction, and the funds then become available inside Predict with Polymarket.

This functionality is powered by Omniston, a technology for exchanging and transferring crypto assets. In this case, it allows users to top up their Predict with Polymarket balance from their wallet and withdraw funds if needed. There is no need to deal separately with intermediate transfers, networks or fees.

Predict with Polymarket is therefore not a separate platform with its own markets. It is essentially a way to use Polymarket inside Telegram.

Gambling Park notes that Russian users are restricted from taking part in Polymarket prediction markets. Russia is among the jurisdictions not served by the platform.

* A stablecoin is a digital token whose value is pegged to another asset, such as the US dollar, the euro or gold.
