Polymarket-Telegram-Bot

A Telegram bot for Polymarket news and alerts, flagged for potential star farming.
Notification service: provides news and price alerts via Telegram, not an autonomous trading strategy.
This repository, while it appears for Polymarket, raises immediate red flags. It's brand new (created August 27, 2026) yet has 167 stars and 134 forks, which is highly anomalous and strongly suggests 'star farming'—a practice where bot accounts are used to inflate engagement metrics to make a repo appear popular and trustworthy. This technique is often a precursor to distributing malware or a scam investment front. The repo has no description, and its size (612KB) is far too small for a feature-rich trading bot. The presence of 'news' and 'telegram' topics suggests it might just be a simple feed scraper, but the risk is too high. Engaging with this bot could lead to phishing attempts, malicious code injection, or simply losing funds. I strongly advise against cloning or running this code. While legitimate Telegram bots for Polymarket exist, a prudent trader should only use tools from well-known, transparent developers with a verifiable track record.
