PolyBot vs Axiom (2026): which one wins?
Both tools last verified · methodology · changelog
A prediction-market specialist against a multi-asset trading terminal that added predictions weeks ago. Axiom brings YC backing, reported million-user scale, and sub-400ms token execution — but its Polymarket surface has no published fees, no documented exits or copy tooling, and unresolved February 2026 insider-conduct allegations hanging over the brand.
Capability by capability
| Capability | PolyBot | Axiom |
|---|---|---|
| Copy trading | Yes Mirrors chosen wallets automatically (up to 3 active copy subscriptions per wallet); sells are copied proportionally — the same percentage of the position, not the same dollar amount. | Partial Wallet tracking and copy-style trading documented on the Solana memecoin side; no evidence it extends to the Polymarket surface. |
| Copy filters & sizing controls | Yes The deepest documented filter set we verified: fixed or proportional sizing (0.01x–10x), odds-range filters (e.g. only 20–80¢ outcomes), daily spending caps, per-trade min/max, per-outcome purchase limits, slippage tolerance, market-expiry filters, leader trade-size thresholds, and category white/blacklists with Sports and Crypto subcategories. | Unknown Not documented for prediction markets. |
| Analytics on followed wallets | Yes Per-subscription performance view: realized/unrealized PnL, positions, win/loss and win rate, plus a 3-day log of executed, skipped, and failed copies. | Partial Trader Scan and wallet monitoring exist for memecoins; prediction-market wallet analytics undocumented. |
| Strategy automation | Yes Auto Trader for crypto Up/Down markets (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, DOGE, HYPE across 5m–24h timeframes) with entry-price and momentum trigger modes and multiple entry rules per strategy; Algo Lab listed as coming soon. | Partial Limit orders and migration-triggered actions on the token side; nothing documented for predictions. |
| Take-profit / stop-loss / trailing | Yes Take-profit and stop-loss (fixed price or % from entry) plus trailing stops (% or fixed cents below the highest observed price), with market-stop and stop-limit execution modes. Docs honestly note a stop-loss is a trigger plus an execution attempt, not a guaranteed maximum loss. | Unknown TP/SL on prediction positions not documented. |
| Auto-claim resolved positions | Yes Background auto-claim redeems eligible winning positions to tradable balance and clears losing shares after resolution (off by default, not instant); the Mini App adds bulk claim. | Unknown Not documented. |
| In-group Telegram trading | Partial Group bot brings market search and interactive market cards into any Telegram group with Trade buttons; execution itself happens in DM — groups are for discovery and sharing. None of the top-tier bots we verified ship an equivalent group surface. | No Web terminal only; no Telegram or Discord bot. |
| Cross-chain deposits | Yes Deposits from Polygon, Solana, Base, Ethereum, Bitcoin, and BNB route into a tradable balance on Polygon; supported networks and minimums are shown in a live picker. | Partial Solana-centric with a Coinbase fiat on-ramp (up to $500/week no-KYC); more chains promised. |
| Wallet discovery & leaderboards | Yes Discovery leaderboard (profit/volume over 24h–all-time), Smart Wallet scoring with copyability assessment and suggested copy margin, and a standalone web Wallet Analyzer covering any Polymarket wallet end-to-end. | Partial In-product wallet tracking for memecoin wallets; predictions-side discovery unknown. |
| Platform surface | Yes Telegram bot plus a full Telegram Mini App (same account and wallet, 9 languages) plus a website with the Wallet Analyzer. Docs cover 27 guides including parlays, competitions, alerts, and presets. | Partial One browser terminal combining memecoins, Hyperliquid perps, yield, and predictions; no official mobile app (fake 'Axiom Pro' apps circulating are unaffiliated). |
| Referral program | Yes Three-level referral program on trading fees (25% / 5% / 3% defaults), paid to balance with a ~$5 minimum claim. | Yes Three-tier revenue share (30% / 3% / 2% of net fees) with a 10% discount for referred users. |

A specialist against a generalist’s newest tab
These two products aim at different traders. PolyBot does one venue — Polymarket — and covers its whole lifecycle: copy trading behind the deepest filter matrix we verified, an Auto Trader for crypto Up/Down markets, three exit types, and background claiming, all reachable from Telegram, a Mini App, and the web. Axiom is a Y Combinator W25 web terminal spanning memecoins, Hyperliquid perps, yield, and — since roughly June 2026 — predictions. Its scale is genuine: a Turnkey case study reports over a million users, and third-party reviews measure sub-400ms execution on the token side. The catch is that every one of those superlatives was earned somewhere other than prediction markets.
What Axiom hasn’t documented for predictions
Strip the terminal down to its Polymarket surface and the documentation nearly vanishes. No fee schedule exists for prediction trades anywhere we could verify — the Solana side’s 0.75%–0.95% tiers hint it won’t be cheap, but a guess is not a price. No TP/SL on prediction positions, no copy filters, no automation, and no prediction-side wallet analytics appear in vendor materials. Custody is non-custodial per the vendor, built on Turnkey’s key-management infrastructure, but key export went unverified. PolyBot’s equivalents are all on the record: a per-account self-custodial Polygon Safe with a signer key exportable from Settings, optional 2FA, a stated 1% flat fee, and 27 public guides.
The trust file
Axiom carries the heaviest open question in this matchup. In February 2026, on-chain investigator ZachXBT alleged an employee misused internal tools to access user data, track private wallets, and potentially trade on that information — with third-party reporting describing fresh wallets that bet about $400k on Polymarket over whether Axiom would be named, clearing over $1M. Those allegations are third-party reported, and no public resolution from Axiom was verifiable at our capture date; we score the uncertainty, not a verdict. A cluster of phishing clones and fake “Axiom Pro” apps compounds the caution. PolyBot’s public operating record since October 2025 is quiet by comparison, with no incidents surfaced in the sources checked.
Who picks which
The decision is portfolio logic. Traders already running size through Axiom’s token surfaces get real convenience from a prediction tab in the same account. Anyone coming to prediction markets first — for the copying, the exits, the priced fee — should take the specialist and let Axiom’s predictions surface mature in public.

Frequently asked questions
Is Axiom good for trading Polymarket?
Not yet on the evidence. Axiom became a verified Polymarket builder around June 2026, but its predictions surface publishes no fee schedule, and no take-profit, stop-loss, copy filters, or automation are documented for it — the mature tooling third parties praise all sits on its Solana memecoin side. It ranked around 28 on the builders leaderboard at our July 2026 capture.
What did ZachXBT allege about Axiom?
In February 2026, on-chain investigator ZachXBT alleged that an Axiom employee misused internal tools to access sensitive user data, track private wallets, and potentially trade on that information; related third-party reporting described a cluster of fresh wallets betting roughly $400k on Polymarket that Axiom would be named, profiting over $1M. These are third-party-reported allegations — Axiom's public response and any resolution were not verifiable at our July 2026 capture date.
Does Axiom cost more than PolyBot's 1% for prediction trades?
Unknown, which is the problem. Axiom publishes fee tiers only for its Solana trading (0.75%–0.95% depending on cashback tier) and nothing for predictions. PolyBot states one number — a 1% flat fee on successful trades — with a $1 deposit minimum and sponsored gas, so the cost is knowable before you commit.
