Documentation
Noara is an autonomous position manager for prediction markets. You keep custody and control; Noara keeps watch. This page covers everything you need to use it — and everything you should check before trusting it.
Getting started#
The free tier runs on Telegram and needs exactly one thing: the public wallet address you trade Polymarket with. No account, no key, no signature.
- Open @AskNoaraBot on Telegram and press Start.
- Send it your public wallet address — the
0x…address your Polymarket positions sit on. On Polymarket: your profile → the address under your username. - That's it. Noara reads your open positions from public onchain data and starts watching. Alerts arrive in the same chat.
From then on, for every position you hold, you get:
- Move alerts with the reason. Not just "price moved" — what moved it, sourced and time-stamped.
- Settlement warnings. Resolution windows opening, rule quirks in the market's own text, and oracle proposals that go against your side — flagged while there's still time to act.
- Around-the-clock coverage. The agent doesn't sleep through the 4 a.m. news that reprices your market.
A public address is all Noara ever needs — the same information anyone can read off the blockchain. Noara will never ask for a private key, seed phrase, or exchange login. If something claiming to be Noara does, it isn't Noara.
Guardian (early access)
The paid tier adds execution: evidence-driven exits, trims, and take-profits, carried out under your caps and kill-switch. It is non-custodial — authorization is a scoped onchain allowance you can revoke at any time, not a deposit. We're onboarding a small first cohort; request early access from the landing page.
How it works#
Noara doesn't sell predictions — a liquid market's price already reflects what everyone knows. It does the work that starts after you enter: watching, judging, and acting.
Every position gets a live intelligence feed: Polymarket prices and order books, Polygon onchain state (positions, settlements, oracle activity), news and official sources, live scores for sports markets. Each item is time-stamped, credibility-weighted, and mapped to the specific market it affects.
Five independent AI models re-price each market against the evidence. Noara measures how independent their agreement really is — models trained alike can echo each other — and discounts consensus that isn't real. When evidence is thin, it abstains and says so instead of guessing.
On the free tier, "act" means alerting you. On Guardian, it means executing your rules — take-profit, trim, exit — exit-first (closing risk always outranks opening it), conservatively sized, every order idempotent so nothing can fire twice.
The settlement guard
Most traders never read how their market actually resolves. Noara does. It tracks each market's resolution date and rules text, flags rule traps (the fine print that settles a market differently than the headline suggests), and watches the UMA oracle onchain. If someone proposes a resolution against your position, you hear about it during the dispute window — not after the money is gone.
The decision log
Every decision — act, alert, or deliberately hold — is written to an append-only log with its reasons at the moment it was made. Nothing is edited after the fact. Executed trades are public Polygon transactions; the track record page links every one, including the losses.
What Noara deliberately doesn't do
It won't pick bets for you, and it won't forecast for the sake of forecasting. Entry is your judgment; everything after entry is Noara's job. That division is the product.
Safety model#
Autonomous execution without hard limits is a threat, not a product. Noara's safety model was built by running it on our own money first, in this order: custody, then authorization, then execution discipline.
Custody: never ours
On the free tier Noara holds nothing and can do nothing — it only reads public data about an address you gave it. On Guardian, you grant a scoped onchain allowance: manage these positions, within these caps, until revoked. The permission is enforced by the chain, not by our promises, and you can revoke it onchain at any time without asking us.
The fuses
- Hard spend caps — total and per-trade limits the agent cannot raise or bypass.
- One-click kill-switch — everything halts immediately; no queue, no grace period.
- Dry-run by default — the agent decides but doesn't act until you explicitly arm it. Watch it for as long as you like.
- Exit-first discipline — closing risk always outranks opening it; caps gate entries, never exits.
- Fail-closed settlement checks — resolutions are verified against oracle data; anything unclear means no action.
- Append-only decision log — every decision recorded with its reasons, nothing rewritten.
What Noara can never do
- ✕Withdraw or transfer your funds to itself or anyone else — the allowance doesn't include it.
- ✕See your private key or seed phrase. It never asks; there is nowhere to enter one.
- ✕Exceed the caps you set, or keep trading after you hit the kill-switch.
- ✕Charge you per trade or take a cut of wins — the incentive to churn is priced out on purpose.
What the fuses don't do: abolish market risk. Alerts can arrive after a fast market has already moved; exits fill at the price the book offers, not the price you hoped for. The fuses bound the damage — they don't guarantee a profit, and nothing here is investment advice.
FAQ#
Do I need to give Noara my private key?
No — never, on any tier. The free tier needs only your public wallet address, which is already visible to anyone on the blockchain. Guardian uses a scoped onchain allowance that your own wallet signs; your key never leaves you. Anyone asking for your seed phrase is trying to rob you, whatever name they use.
Can Noara move or withdraw my funds?
No. On the free tier it has no permissions at all — it's read-only. On Guardian the allowance covers managing the positions you put under protection, within your caps; withdrawing funds or sending them elsewhere is outside the permission and stays impossible, enforced onchain rather than by policy.
Can Noara tell me what to bet on?
No, and it won't. Noara doesn't generate picks or sell predictions. Public, liquid markets already price in what everyone knows — if someone is selling you picks on such a market, ask why they're selling picks instead of betting them. Noara's job starts after you've entered: attention, judgment, and execution on the positions you already hold.
How does Noara charge?
The Telegram tier is free, with no time limit. Guardian is priced as guardianship: about 1% per year on the positions under protection, with a $5/month minimum, cancel anytime. Never per trade, never a share of profits — per-trade fees pay an agent to churn you, and profit shares invite disputes. Details on the pricing section.
Where does the data come from?
Market prices and order books from Polymarket's public APIs; positions, settlements, and oracle activity read directly from Polygon; news from primary and official sources; live scores for sports markets; social signals, credibility-weighted. Every alert cites its source and timestamp so you can check the evidence yourself.
How do I stop, pause, or leave?
Free tier: send /stop to the bot (or just block it) and monitoring ends
there. Guardian: the kill-switch halts all activity instantly, and revoking the onchain
allowance removes Noara's ability to act at all — you can do that from your own wallet
without our involvement. To have your data deleted, message the bot; see the
privacy policy for what little there is to delete.
Has Noara ever lost money?
Yes, and you can see exactly where: the track record publishes every trade as a verifiable Polygon transaction, losses included. We'd rather show you a real small loss than a curated highlight reel.
Which venues does it support?
Polymarket today, natively. More prediction-market venues are next on the roadmap; the longer arc is a risk layer for any agent that holds onchain exposure.
