Introduction
Polymarket traders have long operated in public, with every bet, balance, and position sitting on-chain for anyone curious enough to look. StarkWare now wants to change that with the launch of OffMarket, a platform that lets Polymarket users trade without publicly linking their positions to their accounts.How OffMarket Works
OffMarket runs on a privacy layer built on Starknet, using zero-knowledge proofs to obscure user balances and trading activity. This shields activity on the Polygon network, allowing traders to deposit USDC on Polygon and start trading without ever creating a Polymarket account.Benefits of OffMarket
OffMarket frames itself as a VPN for Polymarket users, providing the same internet experience but with less visibility into who is browsing. The platform operates independently of Polymarket, carrying an "Official @Polymarket Builder" status.Launch and Availability
The rollout of OffMarket came in stages across much of 2026, starting with a private alpha in July 2026. The mainnet privacy trading arrived in September, with full public availability landing around mid-October 2026.#Crypto#Privacy#DeFi#Polymarket#StarkWare
