Gas/Settlement-Cost Aware Rebalancing Cadence

Treat Polygon network gas, exchange fees, and slippage as a spending budget, and only run a risk-control rebalance when the risk you remove is worth more than the round-trip cost, bundling small trims to stay under a monthly cost cap. The edge is preventing constant fiddling: over-frequent rebalancing quietly bleeds the account through fees even when each individual trade looks harmless.

What you need to run it

  • Per-trade cost model (gas + fee + slippage)
  • Risk-improvement estimate per rebalance candidate
  • No-trade band / cost-budget threshold
  • Batched execution scheduler

Where this applies

Markets on Polymarket where gas/settlement-cost aware rebalancing cadence is the natural play:

  • Will Ethereum close above $5,000 on Dec 31, 2027?
  • Will Bitcoin be up at 4pm ET today?
  • Will the Fed cut rates at its next FOMC meeting?
