Nine agents reportedly got $50 each for Kalshi trades; simulated Kalshi and Polymarket portfolios start with $10,000.
TLDR
BallotBench’s nine AI agents now pair 2026 midterm forecasts with $10,000 virtual portfolios for simulated Kalshi and Polymarket trades. Each reportedly received $50 for real-money Kalshi trades. Thoughtful Lab reported small gains for two real-money accounts after 24 hours, while a dated trading-page display listed all nine simulated portfolios below their starting values. The project’s homepage labels itself a synthetic preview.
