Polymarket Buys Dome to Expand Prediction Market API

Prediction market provider Polymarket confirmed it has acquired Dome for an undisclosed sum.

Dome was part of Y Combinator’s Fall 2025 cohort. The startup provides a unified API for prediction markets across multiple platforms.

Dome’s technology allows developers to build apps, bots, dashboards, and trading tools.

These tools can function across platforms such as Polymarket and Kalshi. The unified API structure is designed to simplify access to market data and execution systems.

In a post on X, Dome stated, “We’re excited to bring our focus on speed, reliability, and dev experience to the world’s largest prediction market!”

Co-founder Kunal Roy was a founding engineer at Alchemy. Kurush Dubash, the other co-founder, also worked as a founding engineer at Alchemy.

Second Acquisition as Polymarket Expands

The Dome acquisition follows Polymarket’s earlier purchase of QCEX. QCEX is a U.S.-licensed derivatives exchange.

That deal supported Polymarket’s return to the United States market after previous regulatory restrictions.

Polymarket was last valued at $9 billion. Reports have indicated that the firm may seek additional funding at a higher valuation. However, the company has not confirmed new fundraising plans.

In addition to acquisitions, Polymarket has signed several distribution partnerships. These include agreements with Major League Soccer and the National Hockey League.
