Bagel

Bagel is a mobile-first prediction market app built on Polymarket, designed for casual users. Its core business is simplifying access to event trading through a gamified interface. Users can browse sports, politics, crypto, and esports markets, then buy and sell shares with a few taps. The app adds social features like chat groups, copy trading, and leaderboards, making it feel more like a community game than a trading terminal.

The main problem Bagel solves is the complexity of desktop prediction platforms. Traditional interfaces are cluttered and intimidating for newcomers, while Bagel offers a clean, mobile-friendly layout with personalized feeds. It also addresses the lack of social interaction in existing markets by integrating chat and trader following, helping users learn from others and share strategies.

In the past six months (March to September 2026), Bagel released several notable updates. Version 1.3.0 introduced dark mode, a dedicated crypto section on the homepage, and copy rewards. The app also added limit orders, maintenance announcements, campaign reward history, and verified badges for users and groups. Later updates improved the group chat experience, enhanced price charts, and added slippage protection for large orders. New features like the invite list, leaderboard filters (day/week/month/all-time), profile stats, and quick re-buy functionality were rolled out. The app expanded language support to include Thai and Vietnamese, alongside English and Chinese. A World Cup campaign with a $20,000 prize pool was launched, and the app reached $1.5 million in trading volume within its first month. No major negative events were reported during this period.
