I was just verified on @PolymarketTrade!

Super grateful. Ever since I've started posting about Polymarket there's been so many opportunites for creating content and making safe trades on Polymarket.

I'm glad to see everyone's enjoying the alpha drops, I'll surely post more!

[Flyu @abcdefmlzy]

I registered!

Last competition I managed to get into the top 50. Let's see if I can do better this time!

[Hive @HiveLiveHQ]

WE’RE RUNNING IT BACK

THE HIVE WORLD CUP

$10,000 in prizes. Free entry. Begins June 12

Your chance to prove yourself

[Flyu @abcdefmlzy]

While what you’re saying is interesting, that don’t think they will use this without altering the formula a bit, since different categories have different weights. Geopolitics traders, for example, would have $0 wV going by doc calculations.

They incentivized crypto taker volume 2.3x because it’s the most needed, not because crypto volume is the most valuable.

[Flyu @abcdefmlzy]

I don’t think people are prepared for how big this is. Takers are required for markets. If everyone was setting maker orders nothing would move. Whatever volume left due to fees may return because of taker rebates.

[Mustafa Aljadery @mustafap0ly]

Introducing taker tier rebate program - https://t.co/4FZiXsX4UI

Get rebated up to 50% of all trading fees on polymarket, earn $ level up bonuses, and be eligible for large future rewards.

Will be live starting next week 🙂

[Flyu @abcdefmlzy]

Intuitively retail would understand it to be either up or down from the opening price, not a TWAP.

I think best of both worlds would be to offer both, but make it easier to find the normal one, not the TWAP.

Offering 2 might split the liquidity/volume even further though, so I’d co-release it with taker rebates, otherwise it’s going to fragment liquidity further.

[Flyu @abcdefmlzy]

Everyone’s focused on the “Polymarket | Airdrop” tabs, but not enough people are talking about the “Polymarket | The World [Cup?]” page.

There will likely be an entire rewards pool to LP during the event, alpha would be to take advantage.

POLYMARKET TO BRING MAIN EXCHANGE TO THE US PENDING CFTC BLESSING: BBG

[Flyu @abcdefmlzy]

@DPQ What was your username in Hidden/UG?

[Josh @devjoshstevens]

This is my 3rd week as VP of Engineering DeFi at @Polymarket , and I'm going to be straight: the traction @Polymarket has seen has massively outpaced our infrastructure, and we haven't done nearly enough to scale to keep up. I hear you, and fixing this is our entire focus. We're a major company now, and we need to engineer like one. Here's exactly what we're doing:

- Onchain data latency. We're working on making this near-instant so the experience is incredible.
- Chain migration. We need more block space, cheaper gas and much smaller block times so settlement is instant.
- Transactions are getting cancelled. We understand this is one of the most frustrating issues right now, and we have a complete fix coming very soon.
- Massive focus on the website to make it faster, more responsive, and with better UX.
- We added observability everywhere. Proper alerting so we catch issues ourselves, market makers should not be the ones telling us something is down. That's been unacceptable, and we know it.
- E2e tests throughout, starting with the CLOB, so issues get caught in CI before anything ships.
- CLOBv2 is not a rewrite. It won't improve performance or stability on its own; it's an upgrade that unlocks us to move fast right after. We'll do better with communication next time.
- We are rebuilding the CLOB from the ground up. Most important thing we're doing. Without it, we can't be the best DeFi exchange in the world. We know it, we're on it, it's mission critical.
- Unified TypeScript SDK for all APIs, which is shipping soon.
- Unified API. One WS connection for everything, with a schema that's actually readable.
- New Polymarket contract in the works that unlocks things that are simply impossible on the current protocol.
- New hires: Head of QA Automation, Head of Dev Tooling, Head of Internal Tooling, Head of Data Engineering.
- Smaller, dedicated teams. Fewer focus points per person, clearer ownership. People do what they're good at and are accountable for it.
- Working closely with customer support to give them real debugging tools so any user issue gets properly diagnosed, not lost.
- Proper communication with marketing and market makers so everyone knows what's coming and when, and MM can submit feature requests with a clear path to get them into engineering and shipped.
- Working with 4 security teams daily to ensure we're super secure and that funds are always safe.
- Perps incoming. Brand new contracts and a backend built from scratch in Rust. We're proud of this one.
- A lot of other fixes are running in parallel right now.

Starting next Friday, I will be posting weekly engineering updates.

I joined because I genuinely believe in what @Polymarket is trying to do. @shayne_coplan built this so the world has somewhere to go to find out what's actually going to happen, not what the media thinks, not what a pundit says, but what thousands of people are willing to put money on. But right now, our engineering isn't living up to that. We've let people down, and I'm not going to dress that up. I came here to fix it, and that's exactly what we're going to do. The next few months are going to speak for themselves. Stay with us.

Let's talk about fees, volume, and TVL.

Introducing fees was always going to happen, and necessary if they want to further grow as a company, and conduct further raises, IMO.

The fee rates themselves are still competitive as well.

The data is also holding up very well post fees, since fees disincentivize further any volume washers, etc. The metrics will normalize to volume done by real MMs/traders, which is very healthy.

Long term helps sustain the company, and honestly giving back fee rebates is pretty generous. Not sure if rebates are intended to be a permanent thing, as they're going to be incentivizing takers as well soon AFAIK.

TVL ever increasing is a very good sign. It's almost above ATH from elections. They do incentivize TVL but in only few markets and most people don't take advantage of this, so this TVL is coming from real interested users, super healthy.

Long term I'm curious to see how DEX volume plays out. I'm sure they will incentivize more sports markets, and the World Cup is coming up too, which will further increase volume.

The post fee introduction volume dip will probably just be a hitch, and the trend will probably resume upwards. Some promising stuff on the horizon!

[Flyu @abcdefmlzy]

This was an extension of their commitment on October of last year, but they added more I believe.

Super promising. The extra funding would help make the platform much smoother.

Improvements in the data providers and making sure the platform runs very smoothly, even under heavy load, will go a long way.

@BrokieTrades I personally use Bayes' vibe betting theorem❤️‍🩹 and size accordingly using Kelly fullport criterion

[Flyu @abcdefmlzy]

Super obvious all the TVL on Opinion was inorganic.

Base fee for all taker orders, crimed up Volume, top points holders weren't even traders, they were just pure volume washers.

Ask yourself why would you pick Opinion to trade on the same exactly market when Polymarket offers it?

There really is no second best prediction market.

[Frosen @Frosen]

Opinion TVL dropped by over 60% right after airdrop allocation

Not surprised, they provided a terrible product (most of their markets were copied from Polymarket word for word!) and they just farmed their community
