Account Setup

To use PolyMirror, you need to verify your email and complete a short onboarding process. This includes accepting the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Risk Disclosures, and a Jurisdiction Self-Certification confirming you are eligible to trade.

When you create your account, PolyMirror automatically sets up a built-in wallet for you. There is no need to install a browser wallet or connect an existing one — everything is handled as part of onboarding.

⚠️

Important: PolyMirror is not available in the United States or other restricted jurisdictions. By using the platform, you confirm that you are eligible to trade in your jurisdiction.

Your Wallet

PolyMirror uses a built-in wallet to automate trade execution on your behalf. Your wallet has two parts:

Trading wallet (deposit/collateral): This is where your funds and positions live. When you deposit USDC, send it to this address.
Authorization key:An internal key that signs trade orders on your behalf. You don't need to interact with it directly — do not deposit funds here.

Your trading wallet holds your USDC balance, receives proceeds from winning positions, and is used to pay platform fees.

ℹ️

Funding: Send USDC to your trading wallet on the Polygon network (a fast, low-cost blockchain that Polymarket runs on). Use onboarding tools to bridge funds from another chain before you start mirror trading. If funds are sent to the wrong address, use the recovery actions in Account Settings.

💡

Network fees covered: For standard copy trading, PolyMirror covers blockchain transaction costs on your behalf. Some advanced recovery actions may require a small POL balance for gas.

Creating Your First Mirror

A mirror connects you to a specific leader and defines how their trades get copied to your account. Once a mirror is active, PolyMirror watches for the leader's future trades and copies them automatically based on your settings.

Go to the Discover page to find leaders worth following
Select a leader and click “Mirror” to create a new mirror
Your mirror is created with your default risk controls applied
Optionally fine-tune the controls on your mirror's detail page
Enable the mirror to start copy-trading

ℹ️

Future trades only: Mirrors only copy trades that happen after the mirror is created and enabled. If a leader placed a trade before you mirrored them, that trade will not be copied to your account.

💡

Default controls: New mirrors inherit controls from your global defaults configured on the Controls page. You can override any setting on a per-mirror basis to tailor your risk exposure for each leader.
