LevM

Inspiration

Polymarket hit $17B in volume (YTD) but lacks leverage, the key catalyst that grew forex and crypto derivatives 10-20x.

What it does

LevM provides leverage trading on Polymarket markets through direct order book integration.

How we built it

We bridge Polymarket's live data feed, and a liquidation engine tailored for event-driven volatility, plus frontend dashboard. More information can be found in our GitHub docs.

System Flow: User Deposits -> We bridge to Polygon -> User opens leveraged position -> We take their collateral and provide the remaining liquidity

Users can deposit on our platform for yield to provide liquidity

Challenges

A challenge we are facing is that event-driven markets have extreme volatility and thin liquidity outside peak periods. We had to redesign traditional liquidation mechanics for binary outcomes and correlated event risk, no existing DeFi protocol handles this properly.

Accomplishments

A leverage trading tool with listing of offered markets, clear portfolio monitoring dashboard, and margin calculation smart contracts. Demonstrated feasible liquidation triggers on volatile markets. Proved leverage provider model can work where others failed.

What we learned

Prediction markets require fundamentally different risk models than crypto derivatives. Liquidity patterns are not continuous. Partnership integration beats standalone platforms. Flawless liquidation execution is the non-negotiable requirement.

What's next

Finalizing risk models, securing partnership discussions with Polymarket, launching mainnet integration. Scaling to additional prediction market platforms and expanding leverage offerings across event categories.
