Step 1: Connect Your Account

Go to app.olydash.io and click Connect in the top right corner. Olydash supports three authentication methods:

Email

Sign in with your email address. A wallet will be created automatically for you.

Wallet

Connect an existing Web3 wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, etc.)

Passkey

Use biometric authentication for secure, passwordless access.

Step 2: Deploy Safe Wallet

After connecting, Olydash will prompt you to deploy a Gnosis Safe smart wallet on Polygon. This enables gasless transactions when trading on Polymarket.
1

Click Deploy Wallet

The onboarding modal will guide you through the process.
2

Wait for deployment

The Safe wallet is deployed via the Polymarket relayer — no gas fees required.
3

Wallet ready

Once deployed, your Safe address is cached locally for future sessions.

Step 3: Approve USDC

Before placing trades, you need to approve USDC spending for the Polymarket exchange contracts:
  • CTF Exchange — for standard markets
  • Neg Risk CTF Exchange — for negatively correlated markets
The approval step is a one-time transaction per contract.

Step 4: Deposit USDC

Deposit USDC (Polygon) to your Safe wallet address to start trading. You can use the Deposit button in the wallet dropdown.
Olydash operates on the Polygon network. Make sure your USDC is on Polygon (USDC.e or native USDC), not Ethereum mainnet.

Step 5: Start Trading

You’re ready to trade! Navigate to any market and:
  1. Select an outcome (Yes/No)
  2. Choose order type — Market or Limit
  3. Enter amount and confirm
  4. Monitor your position in the Portfolio tab
