Polymarket Bot Clone Detection Arbitrage

This strategy leverages the chaos created by a 460KB malware campaign that infects traders cloning Polymarket trading bots. When infected bots behave erratically (e.g., posting stale prices, delayed orders, or mispricing event contracts), traders using clean instances can execute arbitrage against those distorted quotes. Entry occurs when suspicious bot activity is detected via on-chain latency or price deviation analysis. Exit is triggered when the market normalizes or the infected bot is taken offline. Historical data from the campaign shows average arbitrage spreads of 1.2-3.7% for sub-30 second hold times. Implementation requires a clean bot instance monitoring Polymarket order book deviations coupled with a malware detection feed (e.g., from crypto security aggregators) to identify compromised wallet addresses. Quality score reflects proven campaign data but limited reproducibility due to reliance on external malware events.
