SOL Liquidity Snapshots for Academic Researchers
Resolved Markets provides academic researchers unprecedented access to prediction market microstructure data at scale, with 11.4M+ orderbook snapshots spanning 100+ markets across four asset categories. The orderbook-level dataset enables rigorous empirical studies of price discovery mechanisms, liquidity provision dynamics, and information aggregation efficiency in prediction markets—areas where public datasets remain severely limited. Researchers can query millisecond-timestamped snapshots via REST API, reconstruct bid/ask spread evolution, analyze order flow patterns during information events (FOMC announcements, sports outcomes), and test market efficiency hypotheses against authentic Polymarket data. ClickHouse-backed infrastructure ensures reproducibility and scalable analysis of 11.4M+ records, supporting statistical inference impossible on smaller datasets while maintaining researcher-friendly API access.
Academic researchers use SOL Liquidity Snapshots as a publication-ready dataset on prediction markets. Resolved Markets captures BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP prediction markets with 20Hz capture against live crypto spot prices, including documented schema and timestamp checksums for reproducible studies on BTC up/down tokens, ETH 1h settlements, SOL daily markets.
Data challenges Academic Researchers run into
SOL Liquidity Snapshots from Resolved Markets is built around the data gaps Academic Researchers hit when they try to work with raw Polymarket feeds.
Fragmented prediction market data limits market microstructure research scope
Academic prediction market research has historically relied on transaction-level data or aggregated mid-prices, missing orderbook microstructure entirely. Market depth, bid/ask spread dynamics, and liquidity clustering patterns—core mechanisms in financial economics—remain unexplored for Polymarket. Researchers studying information aggregation or price discovery must reconstruct behavior from indirect signals rather than observing actual order placement, limiting causal inference rigor and forcing reliance on theoretical models instead of empirical validation.
Orderbook depth unavailable in prior academic datasets on Polymarket
Event-study methodology requires precise timestamps linking observable news events to market reactions. Without millisecond-granularity orderbook data, researchers cannot distinguish between immediate price impact (first 100ms after news release) and slower-moving liquidity adjustments. Resolved Markets' millisecond timestamps enable researchers to measure exact response lags, quantify price discovery speed vs. other markets, and test whether Polymarket predictions incorporate information faster than traditional betting markets.
Latency between events and observable market reactions difficult to quantify
Current Polymarket research relies on coarse daily data or sparse samples, limiting sample size for rigorous statistical testing. With only hundreds or thousands of observations, detecting subtle effects requires implausibly strong signals. Resolved Markets' 11.4M+ snapshots provide statistical power to test hypotheses about spread stationarity, order flow informativeness, and microstructure patterns with tight confidence intervals, enabling publication-grade analysis impossible on sparse datasets.
Limited historical depth prevents robust statistical power for causal inference
Reproducibility requires researchers to use identical data and methodologies. Proprietary or limited-access datasets prevent replication studies. Resolved Markets' free tier and documented API enable academic researchers to publish findings with full transparency—peers can independently verify results using the same orderbook snapshots, advancing scientific integrity in prediction market research.
Built for quantitative work on SOL Liquidity Snapshots
Orderbook-level prediction-market data that doesn't exist anywhere else.
Access orderbook-level microstructure data impossible to obtain elsewhere
Orderbook depth arrays reveal how different market participants behave—how much liquidity exists at each price level, how quickly spreads narrow after information shocks, and whether order placement follows predictable patterns. This microstructure data enables original research on market efficiency, participant behavior, and information incorporation in prediction markets. Test whether large BTC price predictions attract deeper liquidity, whether sports outcomes trigger faster revaluation than economics events, and whether weather predictions show herding behavior.
11.4M+ snapshots provide statistical power for rigorous hypothesis testing
With 11.4M snapshots across 100+ markets, test hypotheses with statistical rigor matching traditional finance research. Conduct cross-category studies—compare price discovery speed in crypto vs. sports vs. economics markets, measure whether information aggregates differently across categories, and identify market-specific microstructure features. Large sample sizes yield tight confidence intervals, publishable effect sizes, and robust conclusions rather than speculative findings from thin datasets.
Millisecond precision enables causal event-study methodology
Millisecond timestamps transform event-study research from coarse daily analysis to precise intra-minute causality estimation. Observe orderbook state at the exact moment FOMC announcements release or sports games conclude. Measure whether Polymarket reacts faster than traditional prediction markets, quantify price impact in first 100ms vs. first 1000ms, and test information efficiency at sub-second granularity previously impossible to study.
Free tier with API access ensures research reproducibility and transparency
Free tier access eliminates funding barriers for graduate researchers and unfunded scholars. Publish results using publicly documented API, ensuring peers can reproduce findings. Build cumulative knowledge base as researchers contribute complementary studies. Transparent data access increases citation counts and research impact, advancing the field of prediction market microstructure economics faster than proprietary data would permit.
