What is Polyrust?
Polyrust is a developer framework with an event-driven engine, strategy traits, execution backends and local persistence. Its README documents paper trading, historical replay and an Axum/HTMX monitoring dashboard.
This is engineering material, not a ready-made profitable bot. A particularly important setup detail is the documented difference between configured paper mode and the fallback when a configuration file is missing.
Who it is for
- Rust developers building strategy infrastructure
- Researchers examining paper and replay execution models
Features and coverage
- Available on
- Rust, Self-hosted
- Markets & venues
- Polymarket
- Strategy plugins
Implement the documented strategy trait and register it with the engine.
- Paper and live backends
Separate simulated execution from the live CLOB integration.
- Backtest and dashboard
Use the documented replay, parameter-sweep and monitoring components.
Workflows with Polyrust
Review the architecture
Trace how market events reach a strategy and how the execution backend handles its actions.
Start with explicit simulation
Inspect the configuration and set paper mode deliberately before evaluating any strategy or replay output.
Pricing and total cost
The source repository is publicly accessible. No hosted subscription is established; infrastructure, data and live trading costs are separate.
Access: The README requires Rust 1.85 or later and describes local or container deployment.
Getting started
- Read the configuration and execution-backend documentation.
- Review the source and requirements in an isolated development environment.
- Explicitly select paper mode and validate behaviour before any live credentials are considered.
Useful links
What to check
- The README warns that a missing configuration file can fall back to live mode. Set POLY_PAPER_TRADING=true explicitly for simulation. No code or strategy was executed or security-audited.
