Overview
BETTER has two layers:
- a live Terminal closed beta for Polymarket signal discovery and one/two-click copy trading
- a planned vault layer for automated strategies that is still in progress
Live Terminal flow
1. Access check
The user logs in and Privy checks whether the connected wallet meets the current $BETTER threshold.
- access is checked per wallet and per session
- a qualifying stake still counts for Terminal access
- if a user only qualifies with liquid
$BETTERand sells below the threshold, the session can time out
2. Funding through the UDA flow
The user opens the Wallet tab, chooses a supported source chain and funds with USDC.
BETTER currently supports:
- Ethereum mainnet
- Base mainnet
BETTER then uses UDA technology powered by Enclave.money so the user does not bridge manually.
3. Routing into usable trading funds
After the UDA flow completes, the funded balance becomes usable as USDC.e on Polygon for Polymarket trading.
This is the practical point of the routing layer: the user starts with USDC on a supported source chain and ends with a balance that can actually be used where current prediction-market liquidity lives.
4. Signal ingestion
BETTER's current signal stack is centered on Polymarket.
The live and testing pipeline is focused on:
- Polymarket order-book data
- Polygon mempool activity
- wallet-level trade behavior
Kalshi and Opinion are part of the future roadmap, not the current live product.
5. Signal scoring and trade context
BETTER surfaces trade context inside the Terminal so users can decide whether to act.
Key concepts include:
- Insider Score: BETTER's score for a wallet's signal quality, described as a z-score based on the top 1,000 Polymarket wallets and normalized with machine-learning methods
- Liquidity context: whether there is enough depth to enter without poor fills
- Correlation context: whether a trade overlaps too much with existing exposure
6. Copy trading
Once a user sees a supported signal, BETTER allows one/two-click copy trading in the Terminal.
Trade placement is gas-sponsored by Polymarket, so the user needs gas to fund from the source chain but not to place each Terminal trade.
The decision layer
BETTER does not use one single strategy path for every market.
Deterministic HFT flow
For high-frequency opportunities, BETTER uses deterministic execution logic built for speed.
This is the part of the system where the HFT engine operates with fixed rules rather than free-form model output.
BRAID-assisted flow
For longer-timeframe markets, BETTER uses BRAID — Bounded Reasoning for Autonomous Inference and Decisions.
BRAID is an OpenServ framework that breaks model reasoning into structured decision steps instead of loose text output. In BETTER's stack, this is used to help find and structure higher-timeframe opportunities.
OpenServ is BETTER's GTM partner and incubator.
Hard risk controls
BETTER describes the strategy layer as using hard constraints such as:
- fixed drawdown tolerance
- fractional Kelly bet sizing
- liquidity checks
- exposure checks
These controls matter more than any single signal because they decide whether a trade should actually go live.
Planned vault flow
The first BETTER vault is still in progress. The current design direction is:
- one initial vault first
- fixed-term and high-risk structure
- deposit windows instead of always-open access
- batched withdrawals
- no partial withdrawals at launch
- future receipt tokens only after the initial vault structure is live
If a strategy is deemed non-profitable, BETTER plans to pause it and make funds available for withdrawal.
Planned receipt-token design
vBETTER is planned as a future receipt-token layer for vaults, not a live product today.
The intended direction is:
- separate receipt tokens for separate vaults if needed
- Polygon-based accounting
- Enzyme Onyx as the accounting layer
Summary
Today, BETTER is mainly a Polymarket Terminal product with token gating, UDA-based funding, signal context and copy trading.
Future vaults extend that same stack into automated strategies and receipt tokens once the vault infrastructure is ready.
