How to Determine SIGNATURE_TYPE

Type	When to Use
0	You created the wallet yourself (MetaMask, Ledger, etc.) without registering on Polymarket
1	You registered on Polymarket via Magic Link / Email

For types 1 and 2, you need FUNDER_ADDRESS — find it at https://polymarket.com/settings

• /balance — Wallet balance
• /redeemall — Collect all winnings
• /stop — Stop trading

Troubleshooting

"invalid signature"

1. Check that SIGNATURE_TYPE matches your registration method
2. For types 1/2, ensure FUNDER_ADDRESS is correct
3. Try changing the negRisk flag

"not enough balance / allowance"

python3 set_allowances.py

"Rate limit exceeded"

1. Use a private RPC (Alchemy, Ankr)
2. Add to .env:

RPC_URL=https://rpc.ankr.com/polygon

"DNS / Connection blocked"

1. Use a VPN
2. Change DNS to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8

Balance not updating

Check logs:

tail -50 logs/trade_*.log | grep -i balance

Log Structure

Logs are saved in the logs/ folder with 3-hour rotation:

logs/
├── trade_2024-01-15_09h.log
├── trade_2024-01-15_12h.log
├── redeem_2024-01-15_09h.log
└── ...

Important Notes

1. USDC Type: Polymarket uses USDC (Bridged), not USDC.e (Native). If you have USDC.e — swap it on QuickSwap or 1inch.

2. Rate limits: Public RPCs have limitations. For stable operation, use private RPCs (Alchemy, Ankr).

3. Gas fees: Keep a small POL/MATIC balance for transaction fees.

4. Risks: Cryptocurrency trading involves risks. Only use funds you can afford to lose.
