You have several issues here:

Your root object has a large, variable number of properties whose values correspond to a fixed data type PoloniexPairInfo. Since you don't want to create a root type that hardcodes all these properties, you can deserialize to a Dictionary<string, PoloniexPairInfo> as shown in Create a strongly typed c# object from json object with ID as the name.
The Bid and Ask properties are represented in JSON as an array of arrays of values of different types:
```
 [
   [
     "0.00007359",
     163.59313969
   ]
 ]
```
You would like to map the inner arrays to a fixed POCO PoloniexPriceVolume by binding values at specific array indices to specific c# properties. You can do this using ObjectToArrayConverter<PoloniexPriceVolume> from C# JSON.NET - Deserialize response that uses an unusual data structure.
Finally, the JSON value "isFrozen" has a string value "0" but you would like to map it to a bool value public bool IsFrozen { get; set; }. You can do this by adapting BoolConverter from Convert an int to bool with Json.Net.

Putting all this together, your can deserialize your JSON with the following models and converters:

[JsonConverter(typeof(ObjectToArrayConverter<PoloniexPriceVolume>))]
public class PoloniexPriceVolume
{
    [JsonProperty(Order = 1)]
    public string Price { get; set; }
    [JsonProperty(Order = 2)]
    public double Volume { get; set; }
}

public class PoloniexPairInfo
{
    public List<PoloniexPriceVolume> Asks { get; set; }
    public List<PoloniexPriceVolume> Bids { get; set; }
    [JsonConverter(typeof(BoolConverter))]
    public bool IsFrozen { get; set; }
    public int Seq { get; set; }
}

public class ObjectToArrayConverter<T> : JsonConverter
{
    public override bool CanConvert(Type objectType)
    {
        return typeof(T) == objectType;
    }

    static bool ShouldSkip(JsonProperty property)
    {
        return property.Ignored || !property.Readable || !property.Writable;
    }

    public override void WriteJson(JsonWriter writer, object value, JsonSerializer serializer)
    {
        var type = value.GetType();
        var contract = serializer.ContractResolver.ResolveContract(type) as JsonObjectContract;
        if (contract == null)
            throw new JsonSerializationException("invalid type " + type.FullName);
        var list = contract.Properties.Where(p => !ShouldSkip(p)).Select(p => p.ValueProvider.GetValue(value));
        serializer.Serialize(writer, list);
    }

    public override object ReadJson(JsonReader reader, Type objectType, object existingValue, JsonSerializer serializer)
    {
        if (reader.TokenType == JsonToken.Null)
            return null;
        var token = JToken.Load(reader);
        if (token.Type != JTokenType.Array)
            throw new JsonSerializationException("token was not an array");
        var contract = serializer.ContractResolver.ResolveContract(objectType) as JsonObjectContract;
        if (contract == null)
            throw new JsonSerializationException("invalid type " + objectType.FullName);
        var value = existingValue ?? contract.DefaultCreator();
        foreach (var pair in contract.Properties.Where(p => !ShouldSkip(p)).Zip(token, (p, v) => new { Value = v, Property = p }))
        {
            var propertyValue = pair.Value.ToObject(pair.Property.PropertyType, serializer);
            pair.Property.ValueProvider.SetValue(value, propertyValue);
        }
        return value;
    }
}

public class BoolConverter : JsonConverter
{
    public override void WriteJson(JsonWriter writer, object value, JsonSerializer serializer)
    {
        writer.WriteValue(((bool)value) ? "1" : "0");
    }

    public override object ReadJson(JsonReader reader, Type objectType, object existingValue, JsonSerializer serializer)
    {
        if (reader.TokenType == JsonToken.Null)
            return null;

        var token = JToken.Load(reader);

        if (token.Type == JTokenType.Boolean)
            return (bool)token;
        return token.ToString() != "0";
    }

    public override bool CanConvert(Type objectType)
    {
        return objectType == typeof(bool);
    }
}

And finally, do:

var orderBook = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, PoloniexPairInfo>>(jsonString);
