Polymarket Orderbook Substreams

The Polymarket Orderbook Substreams contains a comprehensive set of modules that allow you to easily retrieve real-time orderbook analytics from Polymarket prediction markets on Polygon, including order fills, market statistics, trader analytics, and advanced market microstructure data.

The substreams.yaml file defines all the different modules available, and also provides you with documentation about the usage of every module.

Using this module to speed up a substreams

Using the full "ethereum block" object (simplest if changing an existing substreams)

In your substreams.yaml:

Import this .spkg:

imports:
  polymarket: https://spkg.io/PaulieB14/polymarket-orderbook-substreams-v0.1.0.spkg

Replace any source: sf.ethereum.type.v2.Block input with map: polymarket:map_orderbook_analytics (you will be getting comprehensive orderbook analytics with market data, trader statistics, and real-time insights)

Add block filtering to your "entry modules" (any module reading blocks or transactions before emitting your custom types):

If you want to track specific markets by asset ID, use the market filtering like this:

blockFilter:
  module: polymarket:store_markets
  query:
    string: "market:12345 || market:67890"

If you need to track specific traders, use the trader filtering like this:

blockFilter:
  module: polymarket:store_traders  
  query:
    string: "trader:0x1234... || trader:0x5678..."

Using the new 'orderbook analytics' object (simplest if writing a new substreams)

In your substreams.yaml:

Import this .spkg:

imports:
  polymarket: https://spkg.io/PaulieB14/polymarket-orderbook-substreams-v0.1.0.spkg

Set one of the analytics modules (along with source: sf.substreams.v1.Clock if you need block number/timestamp) as your module input:

- name: my_polymarket_module
  kind: map
  inputs:
    - source: sf.substreams.v1.Clock
    - map: polymarket:map_orderbook_analytics

Set parameters to filter the data that you want to be fed to your module:

params:
  polymarket:store_markets: "asset_id:12345"
  polymarket:store_traders: "min_volume:10000"

Run substreams protogen against your substreams.yaml to create the rust bindings of the protobuf definitions inside the substreams.

Modules

map_orderbook_analytics (map)

This module provides comprehensive orderbook analytics combining market data, trader statistics, global metrics, market alerts, and arbitrage opportunities. It's the main output module that aggregates all orderbook intelligence.

store_markets (store)

This foundational store efficiently tracks market-level orderbook data including:

• Trade volumes and counts
• Price movements and volatility
• Liquidity scores and market depth
• Real-time bid/ask levels

Example keys: market:12345, market:67890

Use it to only get blocks that contain trades for specific markets:

- name: my_module
  ...
  blockFilter:
    module: store_markets
    query:
      string: "market:12345 || market:67890"

store_traders (store)

This foundational store tracks comprehensive trader analytics including:

• Trading volumes and P&L
• Risk metrics and Sharpe ratios
• Trader classification (retail, whale, market maker, arbitrageur)
• Win rates and performance metrics

Example keys: trader:0x1234..., trader:0x5678...

Use it to track specific high-value traders:

- name: my_module
  ...
  blockFilter:
    module: store_traders
    query:
      string: "trader:0x1234567890abcdef || min_volume:100000"

map_ctf_exchange_order_filled (map)

This module extracts and processes OrderFilled events from the CTF Exchange contract (0x4bfb41d5b3570defd03c39a9a4d8de6bd8b8982e), providing detailed trade execution data with price calculations and trade side determination.

map_neg_risk_exchange_order_filled (map)

This module extracts and processes OrderFilled events from the Neg Risk CTF Exchange contract (0xC5d563A36AE78145C45a50134d48A1215220f80a), handling negative risk markets with specialized processing.

map_market_orderbooks (map)

This module uses the store_markets foundational store to provide real-time market orderbook snapshots with:

• Current market statistics
• Liquidity analysis
• Price level data
• Market health indicators

map_trader_accounts (map)

This module uses the store_traders foundational store to provide comprehensive trader analytics with:

• Portfolio performance metrics
• Risk assessment scores
• Trading behavior classification
• Historical performance data

map_global_orderbook_stats (map)

This module aggregates platform-wide statistics including:

• Total trading volumes
• Active market counts
• Unique trader metrics
• Platform health indicators
