Blog / The rebrand

We have rebranded to KummiBot

We retired a domain that was reachable from places we are not cleared to serve. Here is what happened, why we did not simply patch it, and what it changes for you.

Service notice 11 September 2026

The short version

We have rebranded to KummiBot. The domain we operated from before has been retired. The bot is the same bot, your account is the same account, your wallet and your funds are untouched.

What changed is the name and the address, and they changed for one reason: the old domain was reachable — and was being used — from countries we are not cleared to serve. We chose to act on that ourselves rather than wait for someone else to decide it for us.

Nothing was frozen. No user lost access. No action was ever brought against us. That is precisely the point of writing this now rather than later.

What happened

A domain does not respect borders

When you put a trading tool on the open internet, you do not get to choose who reaches it. You choose who you intend to reach. Those are not the same thing, and the gap between them is where the trouble lives.

Automated trading against prediction markets is not a single, settled category of product. It sits inside licensing and market-conduct rules that differ from one country to the next, and in several of them it is simply not something we are authorised to offer. In an internal review of where our traffic was actually coming from, we found that the old domain had been operating in exactly those places.

Nobody had written to us. There was no notice, no complaint, no filing. We found it ourselves, in our own logs, and we did not like what we were looking at — because "we did not intend to serve there" has never once worked as a defence for anybody.

The decision

Why we did not just block those countries and move on

The cheap fix was obvious, and we looked at it hard: put a geographic block in front of the old site, keep the name, carry on. We rejected it as the whole answer for three reasons, and they are worth spelling out, because they apply to more products than ours.

  • A block fixes the future, not the past. Filtering traffic from today onward does nothing about a domain's record. When a question is asked, what gets examined is where a service has been operating — and that history was already written.
  • A name travels further than a website. By the time we looked, the old name had been copied into group chats, screenshots, referral links, search results and third-party listings we have no control over. You can gate a server. You cannot recall a name.
  • Blocks get walked around, and that is worse. Anyone can route around a geo-block in a minute. From the outside, a service whose block was bypassed does not look careful — it looks like a service that took the user anyway.

Put together, the question stopped being how do we filter the traffic and became do we want to keep carrying this domain's history at all. Once it was framed that way, it was not a close call.

The change

A clean break, not a coat of paint

This was not a logo swap. The old brand and the old domain were retired together, and the product moved to a new home with a new name, new canonical addresses and a single entry point.

The old address now does exactly one thing: nothing. No page is served from it. No account can be opened on it. No order can be placed through it. It has been retired, and that is all it will ever be again.

Everything downstream moved with it — the dashboard, the documentation, the links, the strategy pages, every reference in the product. If it says KummiBot, it is current. If it carries the old name, it is an artefact of the old world.

What it means for you

Practically, for your account

  • Your account, settings and history are unchanged. Same login, same strategy configuration, same trade record. Nothing was migrated, because nothing needed to be — only the front door moved.
  • Your money was never ours to move. Funds sit in your own Polymarket wallet and always have. A domain change cannot reach them, and neither can we.
  • Old bookmarks will not follow you. Anything you saved under the old address needs saving again here — the dashboard, a settings screen, whichever page you actually start from. Bookmark the kummibot.com version and delete the old one.
  • Anything still carrying the old name is out of date, not a second product. Old screenshots, older videos, third-party listings that have not caught up. There is one of us, and it is here.
Read this one

If a site ever turns up under our old name, it is not us

A retired domain in this industry is a target. Old names keep their search rankings, their inbound links and their audience long after the people behind them have gone, and there is a well-worn playbook for picking one up and pointing it at a wallet drainer.

So take this as the standing rule: the address we used before should serve nothing at all. If you ever land on it and find a working site, a login box, or anything at all asking you to connect a wallet or enter a key — close the tab. It is not us, and we will not have moved back.

The only address we operate from is kummibot.com. We will never ask for your private key anywhere, on any domain, for any reason.

What we take from it

We would rather write this post than the other one

There is a version of this article that opens with a notice we were served, and it is a much worse article. Getting to write this one instead — voluntarily, on our own timetable, with the service running and every account intact — is the whole return on having looked before anyone made us.

What changed internally is smaller than the rebrand but matters more: where a product can be reached from is now a question we answer at launch, not one we get around to. It is checked the way uptime is checked. A rebrand is a very expensive way to learn that lesson, and we only intend to pay for it once.

If you have questions about what this means for your account, open the dashboard and use the contact route there. If something looks wrong, tell us early — that is what we did.

This post describes a business decision and is not legal advice. KummiBot is an independent tool with no affiliation to Polymarket. Prediction markets carry real risk. None of this is financial advice.

Same bot, same account, new address. Pick up where you left off.
