Telegram has transformed into a comprehensive financial ecosystem for digital assets. PolyGram integrates prediction market functionality directly into Telegram as an embedded Mini App — eliminating the need for external browsers, manual wallet configuration, or additional software installations.

What Is a Telegram Mini App?

Telegram Mini Apps are lightweight applications operating directly within the Telegram interface. They leverage your Telegram identity for authentication, facilitate financial transactions, and deliver a seamless user experience without requiring App Store installation. PolyGram harnesses this framework to offer traders:

  • Seamless authentication using your Telegram credentials
  • Complete trading dashboard featuring real-time order books and price visualisations
  • Real-time position monitoring and portfolio analytics
  • Immediate alerts for market outcomes and price movements
  • USDC transfers and withdrawals via the Polygon blockchain

Opening PolyGram on Telegram

  1. Launch Telegram on your preferred platform (iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, or web browser)
  2. Locate @PolyGram_Telegram_bot using the search function
  3. Press "Start" — the Mini App initialises within your Telegram session
  4. Telegram's authentication system verifies your identity automatically
  5. Fund your account with USDC or activate the integrated fiat gateway to commence trading

Why Telegram Is the Right Home for Prediction Markets

Telegram hosts the core audience for crypto trading and forecasting discussions. Market commentary, analytical insights, and prediction market conversations occur natively within Telegram channels and groups. PolyGram bridges this gap: discover market opportunities in your group conversations, then execute trades instantaneously within the identical platform without interrupting your workflow.

Security: Is It Safe?

PolyGram's Mini App leverages Telegram's integrated security framework. Your USDC holdings reside on the Polygon network itself — custody remains with the blockchain, not Telegram infrastructure or PolyGram systems. Should Telegram experience service interruptions, your assets remain fully accessible through any Polygon-enabled wallet application using your cryptographic keys.
