Polymarket arbitrage bot for 5-minute Up/Down markets with suspiciously high fork/star ratio
Arbitrage trading on Polymarket 5-minute BTC Up/Down binary options
This repository exhibits all hallmarks of a coordinated star-farming or malware distribution campaign. The description is literally the same phrase repeated 12 times ('polymarket arbitrage bot |'), which is a strong signal of automated/spam content. The star-to-fork ratio is wildly abnormal: 407 stars with 793 forks in just 22 days indicates bot-driven engagement. A genuine project typically has far more stars than forks, not the reverse. While the claimed language is TypeScript, the repository contains 4964KB of mostly minified or obfuscated code common in malware payloads. The user 'slimopump' has no visible history or other legitimate projects. The single topic tag 'polymarket-btc-updown-5minute' is likely keyword-stuffed for search visibility. Users downloading dependencies or following setup instructions risk wallet compromise or data exfiltration. Even if the code technically functions as an arbitrage bot, the distribution method and engagement metrics are wholly fraudulent. This should be reported to GitHub and avoided entirely.
