jelllott/polymarket-kalshi-arbitrage-bot

This repository exhibits multiple severe red flags typical of malware distribution campaigns. The description is entirely composed of the repeated phrase 'polymarket kalshi' over 20 times, which is a blatant keyword stuffing technique used to game GitHub search results and attract traders searching for arbitrage tools. While the concept of cross-platform arbitrage between Polymarket and Kalshi is legitimate, this implementation is almost certainly malicious. The star count (217) and fork count (5788) are highly anomalous—the fork-to-star ratio is over 26:1, which is extremely unusual for a legitimate project and suggests automated forking or bot activity. The repository size (12.3 MB) is moderate, but the lack of meaningful description or documentation is suspicious. The username 'jelllott' appears to be a throwaway account. The creation date (2026-05-24) is recent, but the repository has likely been spammed across platforms. The malware risk is high. The verdict is 'malware'—this should be reported to GitHub and avoided entirely. Traders interested in Polymarket-Kalshi arbitrage should seek reputable, audited alternatives with transparent code and community trust.
