Built an open-source tool to detect a known Polymarket exploit (incrementNonce ghost fills)

Polymarket has a known exploit where attackers use incrementNonce() on the CTF Exchange to cancel losing orders after they've already been matched on the off-chain orderbook. This was publicly disclosed on Feb 19 and has cost traders thousands.

If you run bots on Polymarket's BTC 5-minute markets, you may have experienced 'ghost fills' β€” orders that match on the CLOB but never settle on-chain.

The exploit: bad actors call incrementNonce() on the CTF Exchange contract to invalidate their losing orders after matching. They keep only winning sides.

I built Nonce Guard β€” a free, open-source monitoring tool that:

  • Watches Polygon blocks in real-time for incrementNonce() calls
  • Builds exploiter address blacklists
  • Emits universal alerts (file/socket/webhook) any bot can consume
  • Includes counterparty checking
