Traders Eye Polymarket Airdrop Via New Aggregator
A new prediction market aggregator, Fireplace, is enabling traders to speculatively position for a potential airdrop from Polymarket, a major prediction market venue. Fireplace itself has no native token and has not confirmed an airdrop. Instead, the platform functions as an institutional-grade trading terminal that routes all order flow through underlying platforms, primarily Polymarket. This mechanism allows users to build a transaction history on Polymarket, a key metric often used for determining eligibility in retroactive token distributions.
Launched on January 27, 2026, Fireplace aggregates markets across Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, and Ethereum, among others. By consolidating liquidity and providing advanced charting tools, it aims to attract professional traders. This activity, in turn, directly contributes to volume on Polymarket, creating the basis for the airdrop speculation.
Platform Requires USDC Deposits After $1.5M Raise
Participation in this strategy requires real capital, as Fireplace is not a testnet. The platform, which recently raised $1.5 million in a pre-seed round led by Frachtis with participation from White Star Capital, requires users to deposit funds to begin trading. The primary method involves depositing a minimum of $3 in USDC on the Arbitrum network, which also requires a small amount of ETH to cover gas fees.
Once funded, users can trade on a wide range of outcomes in politics, sports, and crypto. Consistent trading activity is the most direct way to build an on-chain footprint that could be considered in a potential future snapshot by Polymarket. The platform's referral program also offers another potential, though unconfirmed, method for increasing a user's standing in any rewards calculation.
