Developer sterlingcrispin has released 'nothing-ever-happens,' an asynchronous Python-based bot designed to automate trading on the Polymarket prediction platform.
The software specifically targets standalone, non-sports 'yes/no' markets. It scans available markets for 'No' entries that fall below a user-defined price cap.
Automated market monitoring
The bot utilizes an asynchronous runtime to track open positions and manage live recovery states. It includes a built-in dashboard to monitor real-time performance and activity.
According to the project's documentation, the tool requires specific environment configurations to execute live trades. Users must enable 'BOT_MODE=live', 'LIVE_TRADING_ENABLED=true', and 'DRY_RUN=false' to move beyond the PaperExchangeClient simulation.
Full execution in live environments requires integration with Polygon RPC URLs and private keys for transaction signing. The system also relies on a database URL to persist trade history and recovery data.
Developers can deploy the tool via Heroku, using a specific configuration flow to scale web dynos while preventing accidental worker execution. The repository includes several utility scripts for inspecting database activity, exporting trade logs, and auditing wallet history.
The author provides the software 'as is' and explicitly states it is for entertainment purposes only, disclaiming all liability for financial losses incurred during use.
