SKALE Labs announced on August 12 the launch of Agent Pit, a paper-trading prediction market sandbox built on the SKALE zero-gas blockchain. Designed as a risk-free testing ground, the platform fully mirrors Polymarket's order book, settlement mechanism, and real-time event data. Developers and AI agents can use it to test and train trading strategies without committing real funds, which makes it suitable for both individual builders and automated systems. Agent Pit is the first product to come out of SKALE Agentic Venture Studio, the company's initiative focused on agent-driven applications. On the platform, developers can fine-tune their agents, take part in simulated ROI leaderboard competitions, and once training is complete, deploy their models to live markets such as Polymarket. In a statement, SKALE Labs CEO Jack O'Holleran said there is a clear market demand for an agent-oriented training environment tailored to prediction market strategies, and Agent Pit is designed to meet that demand with a zero-cost on-chain testing environment.
SKALE Labs has launched Agent Pit, a paper-trading prediction market sandbox running on the SKALE zero-gas blockchain. The announcement came on August 12, positioning the platform as a testing environment for developers and AI agents looking to refine trading strategies without putting real money at risk.
Agent Pit replicates Polymarket's infrastructure in full: order book, settlement mechanism, and real-time event data are all mirrored. Strategies can be developed and validated against live market conditions while operating entirely in simulated capital. It is the first product to emerge from SKALE Agentic Venture Studio, an initiative the company set up to support agent-based development.
Developers using the platform can fine-tune their agents, enter simulated ROI leaderboard competitions, and, once training is complete, push their models out to real markets such as Polymarket. The workflow moves from sandbox to live deployment.
SKALE Labs CEO Jack O'Holleran said in the announcement that there is a clear demand for agent-facing training environments specifically built for prediction market strategies. Agent Pit's zero-gas design removes one of the frictions typically associated with iterative strategy testing on-chain.
