Oracle Front-Running on Polymarket
Arbitragescore 6found Jul 13, 2026
Front-run incoming oracle updates by detecting pending resolution data before market settlement.
This strategy exploits the delay between an oracle providing resolution data and the market settling. Bots monitor oracle data feeds for upcoming outcomes, then place orders before the market price adjusts. Entry occurs when a confirmed but not yet settled outcome is detected; exit after settlement or when the market price converges. Implementation requires low-latency access to oracle mempools or data APIs. Results show significant slippage capture but risk of oracle manipulation or failed resolution.
