Frequently asked questions
Which crypto prediction markets are covered?
Resolved Markets tracks BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP Up/Down markets across common Polymarket timeframes such as 5m, 15m, 1h, and 1d when those markets are active.
How fast is crypto orderbook capture?
Crypto orderbooks are captured event-driven at roughly 20 Hz, or one snapshot about every 50 milliseconds when the book is moving. Idle markets naturally produce fewer persisted snapshots.
Does each snapshot include crypto spot price?
Yes. Crypto snapshots include the paired spot reference price and a staleness field in milliseconds so researchers can join prediction-market probabilities to the underlying crypto move without a separate feed.
Can I backtest BTC Polymarket strategies?
Yes. Use the REST snapshots endpoint, CLI parquet export, visual Strategy Builder, or AI Backtest Agent. Free tier covers BTC with 24-hour history; Pro unlocks the full archive and additional categories.
Is this affiliated with Polymarket?
No. Resolved Markets is an independent third-party data service operated by Elcara LLC-FZ. It reads public market data and stores historical snapshots for research and developer use.
