Problem

The README does not mention what wallet types are supported. Users who created their Polymarket account via the web UI (Magic.link / Privy deposit-wallet flow) repeatedly open issues when the market maker rejects their credentials or behaves unexpectedly — see #79, #28, #27, #86.

The market maker trades directly with an EOA private key. It has no proxy-wallet or deposit-wallet support — there is no funderAddress or POLY_1271 flow. This is non-obvious to anyone who set up their Polymarket account via the modern web onboarding.

Fix

Add a prominent note under the Requirements section so users know before they start setup.

Closes #79.


Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only change with no impact on application logic, security, or deployment.

Overview
Adds a Requirements callout stating the keeper only works with a standard EOA private key, and that Polymarket proxy / deposit wallet accounts (web UI, Magic.link, Privy) are not supported, with a link to issue #79 for background.

No code, config, or runtime behavior changes—documentation only to set expectations before setup.

The README is silent on supported wallet types. Users who created their
Polymarket account via the web UI (Magic.link / Privy deposit-wallet flow)
repeatedly hit confusing errors because the market maker has no proxy wallet
support — it requires a plain EOA private key.

Add a prominent note under Requirements so users know before setup.
Fixes Polymarket#79.
