Sides Launches Gasless Prediction Market Trading Directly on Telegram
The rise of prediction markets has created a growing demand for faster and more secure trading tools. However, most Telegram trading bots still force users to make a difficult choice: prioritize convenience or maintain full control of their assets. Sides is changing that approach.
Built as a Telegram-native trading bot for Polymarket, the world’s largest prediction market platform: Sides combines self-custody with a seamless, gasless trading experience. After operating successfully for several months, the platform has recently introduced an AI-powered agent layer designed to help users analyze markets and automate trading strategies directly within Telegram.
Self-Custody Without Compromising Convenience
Traditional , Telegram trading bots typically require users to hand over control of their private keys in exchange for a smoother user experience. On the other hand, self-custodial solutions often require traders to manage gas fees manually, creating unnecessary friction during every transaction.
Sides eliminates both challenges.
The platform integrates Safe smart wallets, ensuring users retain complete control of their funds at all times. Signer key export is also available, giving traders full ownership of their wallets whenever they choose.
At the same time, every trade is executed without gas fees. Users don’t need to hold MATIC, worry about topping up gas balances, or experience failed transactions caused by insufficient network fees. The result is a trading experience that feels as simple as using any messaging app while preserving the security benefits of self-custody.
Cross-Chain Deposits Made Simple
Funding an account is equally straightforward.
Using Relay Protocol, Sides allows users to bridge assets from leading blockchain networks—including Ethereum, Solana, Base, and several others directly into USDC on Polygon through a single streamlined process.
Everything happens without leaving Telegram, removing the need to switch between multiple wallets, bridges, or decentralized applications.
Trade Polymarket Directly Inside Telegram
Once an account is funded, users can immediately begin trading on Polymarket without leaving the chat interface.
Simply pasting any Polymarket URL into the bot displays complete market details and enables instant trading. Users can also browse trending prediction markets by category or search Polymarket directly from any Telegram conversation using the bot’s inline mode.
Sides supports both market and limit orders while offering live position tracking, real-time profit and loss (P&L) monitoring, and one-tap redemption for winning positions.
The platform also extends the experience to Telegram group chats, allowing members to share markets, execute trades directly from conversations, and compete on ROI-based leaderboards.
To encourage community growth, Sides includes a five-level referral program that rewards users for introducing new traders to the platform.
Growing Alongside the Prediction Market Boom
Sides is expanding as prediction markets continue to gain momentum.
In 2025, Polymarket processed more than $21 billion in trading volume, with peak monthly activity surpassing $13 billion and attracting over 600,000 monthly active traders.
Operating within the Polymarket Builder ecosystem, Sides connects directly to the platform’s official CLOB API for order execution while adding a Telegram-first interface that makes prediction market trading more accessible and conversational.
Founder Shares the Vision
“Prediction markets are becoming more active and more execution-driven. Sides is built around a simple idea: users should be able to analyze markets and act on their own strategy from the same environment where they already follow market discussions,” said Arty Shatilov, founder of Sides.
As prediction markets continue to evolve, platforms that reduce trading friction while maintaining user security are becoming increasingly valuable. By combining self-custodial wallets, gasless execution, cross-chain funding, and a fully Telegram-native experience, Sides aims to simplify how users access and trade on Polymarket without compromising ownership of their assets.
