What Kalshi NFL is

Kalshi is a centralized, CFTC-regulated exchange that lists binary-style event contracts, including NFL game and props. Traders there use a fiat-backed account and KYC to open positions; settlement follows regulated exchange rules rather than on-chain token redemption. Kalshi’s product is designed for U.S. retail traders who want regulated access to event contracts rather than on-chain instruments.

How Polymarket differs

Polymarket is a decentralized prediction-market exchange on Polygon where outcomes are represented by ERC-1155 tokens and settled via UMA. Trading uses a Central Limit Order Book (CLOB) and pUSD (Polymarket’s wrapped USDC) as the settlement asset. Polymarket markets can list sports outcomes similar to Kalshi, but they operate on-chain with different counterparty, settlement, and geographic constraints.

Why arbitrage matters between platforms

Prices can diverge between Kalshi and Polymarket because of different user bases, fee schedules, and regulatory constraints. Cross-platform arb exists but is out of scope for PolyArb’s bot. PolyArb focuses on intra-Polymarket arbitrage: spotting when a market’s outcome prices sum to less than $1.00 and buying the complete set to lock the edge. That edge is mathematical but comes with resolution, slippage, and settlement timing risks.
