What Kalshi is

Kalshi operates as a federally regulated event-exchange that lists binary event contracts, including political questions such as mayoral races. It’s designed for a regulated US audience and enforces its own KYC and product rules. Liquidity, fee schedules, and order mechanics differ from decentralised venues, and access is subject to Kalshi’s compliance and platform rules.

How Polymarket differs

Polymarket is a decentralised prediction-market exchange on Polygon using a Central Limit Order Book and Gnosis CTF outcome tokens. Markets resolve via the UMA optimistic oracle. Trading on Polymarket uses pUSD and is gasless for end users thanks to the Polymarket Relayer. Note geo restrictions apply on who may place orders; never use VPNs to bypass them.

Arbitrage opportunities on a NYC mayor market

Where prices diverge between complementary outcomes or across outcomes in a multi-way market, intra-market arbitrage can appear. On Polymarket that means buying a complete set when Σ bestAsk < $1.00. Those mathematical spreads are exploitable but carry listed risks: resolution disputes, slippage and partial fills, fee changes, and settlement timing. Historical activity shows arbitrage can be fleeting.

FAQ

Does Kalshi list NYC mayor race markets?
Kalshi lists political event contracts under its regulatory rules when it chooses to; availability varies and is controlled by Kalshi’s product and compliance teams.
Can I arbitrage between Kalshi and Polymarket?
Cross-platform arbitrage is possible in principle but requires managing different settlement rails, KYC, contract specs, and timing. PolyArb focuses on intra-Polymarket arbitrage, not cross-platform routing.
What risks affect arbitrage on a mayoral market?
Key risks include resolution disputes via UMA, slippage and partial fills, fee changes, settlement timing and smart-contract risk. Never assume a spread is absolutely risk-free without accounting for these factors.
How does PolyArb help capture spreads?
PolyArb provides low-latency execution (advertised 40ms), non-custodial order placement, and fast alerts to Telegram and Discord to notify you when intra-market edges appear. It’s a subscription tool to help monitor and act on Polymarket opportunities.
