Markium vs
SimpleFunctions.

Markium surfaces wallet analytics, leaderboards, and watchlist alerting for Polymarket traders who follow on-chain positions and market leaders. SimpleFunctions ships the agent layer above raw data: a causal-tree thesis system that decomposes any claim into testable sub-hypotheses with auto-evaluation cycles, an autonomous trading agent with a 7-gate risk cascade, computed indicators across 48K+ contracts, and a 56-tool MCP server. Same upstream venue, fundamentally different product surface.

Verdict

Pick the one that fits how
you actually work.

Choose SimpleFunctions if

Choose SimpleFunctions when your workflow is agent-driven or research-oriented — when you need calibrated probabilities with public Brier scores, a causal-tree thesis system that decomposes any macro claim and auto-evaluates it on a news-and-price heartbeat, Portfolio Autopilot executing through a 7-gate risk cascade, computed indicators (implied yield, cliff risk index, liquidity availability score) across 48K+ contracts, and a 56-tool MCP server that integrates into Claude Code or Cursor in a single command.

Choose Markium if

Markium is built for Polymarket participants whose primary workflow is tracking wallet-level behaviour — leaderboard rankings, whale position monitoring, and watchlist alerts when specific contracts move. If your goal is following other traders rather than building models or running agents, Markium's product surface is designed precisely for that audience.

Same Polymarket upstream; Markium surfaces wallet analytics and social signals; SimpleFunctions ships the agent layer — thesis, autopilot, indicators, MCP.

At a glance

Three things that
actually differ.

01

Everything Markium gives you — Polymarket contract data, market aggregation, and contract-level analytics — SimpleFunctions also gives you, on the same Polymarket feed plus Kalshi coverage across 48K+ active contracts.

02

On top of that, SF ships a causal-tree thesis system, an autonomous trading agent (Portfolio Autopilot, 1M-context LLM, 7-gate risk cascade), computed indicators across 48K contracts, and 56 MCP tools that no current PM analytics dashboard exposes.

03

SF also publishes live Brier scores at /api/calibration — Kalshi 0.20, Polymarket 0.12 on T-24h price, past 90 days — so you can verify forecast accuracy before trading on any signal.

Methodology

Verified 2026-04 from public sources only — Markium's documentation, public website, and publicly observable behaviour. We never claim non-public information about Markium's internals.

Use cases

Same data, different
best fit per scenario.

Scenario 01

Building an AI agent that needs live prediction market data and a structured world model.

SimpleFunctions · best fit

SF's /api/agent/world endpoint delivers an ~800-token world snapshot, updated continuously, with a delta endpoint for efficient polling. The 56-tool MCP server exposes the full data model to Claude Code or Cursor in one command. No Polymarket analytics dashboard offers this integration surface.

Markium

Markium's product is a human-facing dashboard and alert system, not an agent-integration layer. It does not expose a documented API or MCP surface for programmatic agent consumption.

Scenario 02

Tracking specific whale wallets and leaderboard rankings on Polymarket.

SimpleFunctions

SF does not have a wallet-attribution or leaderboard surface. This use case falls outside SF's product scope.

Markium · best fit

This is Markium's core product offering — wallet-level analytics, leaderboard tracking, and position attribution are described as primary features. For this workflow, Markium is the right tool.

Scenario 03

Decomposing a macro thesis into tradeable sub-claims and monitoring them automatically.

SimpleFunctions · best fit

POST /api/thesis/create takes a plain-language sentence, builds a causal tree, maps sub-claims to Kalshi and Polymarket contracts, and runs a recurring evaluation heartbeat. No competitor offers this pipeline.

Markium

Markium does not offer thesis decomposition, causal modelling, or structured claim evaluation. The product is not designed for this use case.

Scenario 04

Monitoring a personal watchlist of prediction market contracts and receiving price alerts.

SimpleFunctions

SF does not offer a dedicated watchlist UI with push alerts. The thesis heartbeat provides structured auto-evaluation, but it is not a general-purpose price-alert surface.

Markium · best fit

Watchlist alerting is a described feature of Markium's product, purpose-built for traders who want notifications on specific contracts. For a lightweight alert workflow, Markium handles this directly.

Live data

The SimpleFunctions claims on this page are not marketing copy. Brier scores, market counts, and cross-venue pair counts are computed live from /calibration, /screen, and /api/public/cross-venue/pairs. All public, all free, all CC-BY-4.0.

FAQ

What is Markium used for?+

Markium is a Polymarket-focused analytics platform that provides wallet-level tracking, leaderboard rankings, and watchlist alerting. It is designed for traders who want to monitor on-chain wallet behaviour, follow which addresses are outperforming, and receive notifications when watched contracts move. It is not primarily an API product or agent-integration layer — its audience is Polymarket participants who want a data-enriched dashboard around social signals and wallet activity.

Does SimpleFunctions replace Markium's wallet analytics?+

No. SimpleFunctions does not expose a dedicated wallet-attribution or leaderboard surface — that is Markium's specialisation. SF's comparative strengths are the agent-integration layer: the 56-tool MCP server, the causal-tree thesis system, Portfolio Autopilot, and computed indicators across 48K+ contracts. If wallet tracking and leaderboard monitoring are your primary workflow, Markium addresses that directly. If you need autonomous trading, thesis evaluation, or agent-first market intelligence, SF is the more relevant stack.

What is SimpleFunctions' thesis system and how does it work?+

POST /api/thesis/create accepts a plain-language sentence and decomposes it into a causal tree of testable sub-claims. Each node receives a probability assignment, and SF scans Kalshi and Polymarket for contracts that map to those sub-claims, surfacing tradeable edges. An evaluation heartbeat then runs on each thesis: news scan, price refresh, milestone check, LLM evaluation, and confidence update. External signals can be injected at /api/thesis/{id}/signal, and any public thesis is forkable. No current prediction-market analytics product offers this pipeline.

How does Portfolio Autopilot work?+

Portfolio Autopilot is SimpleFunctions' autonomous trading agent. It uses a 1M-context LLM that ingests 13 data sources, then passes proposed trades through a 7-gate risk cascade — including a kill switch, position limits, drawdown gate, and regime check — before any execution occurs. Positions are grounded in the thesis system's causal model rather than raw price momentum alone. This autonomous execution layer is not offered by any current Polymarket analytics or wallet-tracking product.

Can I use SimpleFunctions with Claude Code or Cursor?+

Yes. Run claude mcp add simplefunctions --url https://simplefunctions.dev/api/mcp/mcp to expose all 56 tools to your MCP client. From that point, your AI assistant can query live market prices, fetch cross-venue arbitrage pairs, retrieve computed indicators, create and evaluate theses, and interact with the full SF data model — without writing HTTP calls manually. The server conforms to the MCP specification and works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any other MCP-compatible client.

What calibration data does SimpleFunctions publish?+

GET /api/calibration returns SF's own Brier scores broken down by venue (Kalshi and Polymarket), category, and price bucket, computed over the past 90 days. On T-24h prices, SF scores Kalshi at 0.20 and Polymarket at 0.12. This is a live endpoint — you can curl it yourself to verify the numbers on this page. Publishing self-audited accuracy metrics publicly is uncommon among prediction-market analytics products; most either omit calibration data or describe it only in qualitative terms.

Which product should I choose if I primarily want Polymarket market data?+

Both products surface Polymarket data, but with different emphasis. Markium wraps it in a wallet-analytics and alerting dashboard suited for traders who follow positions and leaderboards. SimpleFunctions wraps it in an agent-integration layer — computed indicators, cross-venue pricing, thesis evaluation, and an MCP server. If you need a human-facing monitoring dashboard with social signals, Markium fits. If you need a programmable, agent-consumable market intelligence layer, SF fits.
