CloddsBot

Overview

Open-source AI trading agent that runs on your own machine and takes orders in natural language over Telegram, Discord, WebChat and eighteen other channels. Powered by Claude, it covers ten prediction markets — Polymarket, Kalshi, Betfair, Smarkets, Drift, Manifold, Metaculus, PredictIt, Opinion.xyz and Predict.fun — plus perpetual-futures exchanges and Solana and EVM DeFi. The Polymarket layer is real code rather than a wrapper: an EIP-712 order signer with unit tests, a CLOB client exposing 60-plus methods, real-time data and user WebSocket feeds, a large-trade tracker, and round-based discovery of the 5-minute BTC and the 15-minute, hourly, 4-hour and daily crypto windows with four automated strategies, alongside cross-venue arbitrage detection, copy trading and DCA bots. MIT-licensed at github.com/alsk1992/CloddsBot: 2,700 stars, 460-plus commits from one primary author, v1.9.1 released Sep 12, 2026, installed with one npm command on Node 22.

How it works

• An agent, not a strategy: Clodds does what you ask it to, from a one-off order to a scheduled DCA or a running copy task, and its 118 built-in strategies are recipes it can execute, not a track record. Nothing in the repo or on cloddsbot.com publishes live P&L.
• Give it a key and it can spend it. The Polymarket private key, the Kalshi API secret and any exchange credentials live in the local .env the agent reads, and it also reaches perpetual futures and DEXs, so the blast radius of a bad instruction — or a bad model turn — is everything it is connected to. Run it with a dedicated small wallet.
• The code is real and moving: 1,149 files, a 53KB Polymarket trading skill, signer tests, 463 commits mostly by the author with dependabot and two small contributors, and a release cadence that reached v1.9.1 on Sep 12, 2026. It began as a twelve-day Colosseum hackathon entry in early 2026.
• It is also a memecoin project: the README leads with a pump.fun contract address, ships a token-launch feature and Bittensor mining, and the landing greets you with “I'm a human / I'm an agent”. None of that touches the trading code, but it tells you what the author is optimising for.
• We read the source — the signer, the CLOB skill and the feeds — and did not run the agent, since running it means handing an LLM a funded key. Listed as open source on the strength of the code.
