Polymarket has acquired Dome, a startup backed by Y Combinator that was building a unified API for prediction markets. Both companies confirmed the deal on X on Feb. 19, though no financial terms were shared.
Dome was part of Y Combinator’s Fall 2025 cohort. The startup was developing a single integration layer that lets developers access live and historical data across multiple prediction market platforms.
The tool was designed to make it easier to trade, embed market data into products, and run strategies across different platforms through one interface. Dome had raised $500,000 from Y Combinator and an additional $4.7 million in seed funding.
The startup was co-founded by Kunal Roy and Kurush Dubash, who both previously worked as founding engineers at Alchemy. Dubash confirmed the deal on X, writing that there was “no better place” to have an impact in prediction markets than Polymarket.
Neither company shared details about Dome’s future roadmap inside Polymarket or how the team will be integrated going forward.
Polymarket’s Acquisition History
This is Polymarket’s first acquisition focused on developer tools. The company’s only other known acquisition was QCEX, a derivatives exchange and clearinghouse licensed by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
That deal was aimed at helping Polymarket re-enter the U.S. market. Since receiving CFTC approval to operate an intermediated trading platform, the company has moved quickly to grow its reach.
Polymarket’s Recent Expansion
Polymarket has secured partnerships with Yahoo Finance and Google Finance, and with sports organizations including Major League Soccer and the National Hockey League.
Last month, it partnered with Parcl to launch a prediction market tied to real estate trends. It has also expanded to the Solana blockchain through an integration with Jupiter.
Polymarket was recently added to the MetaMask mobile app, which gives it broader access to retail users. The Dome acquisition is the latest move in what has been a period of rapid growth for the platform.
The acquisition adds developer infrastructure at a time when Polymarket is building out integrations across blockchain, finance, and media. Dome’s unified API is expected to make it easier for third-party developers to build on top of Polymarket’s platform.
