@crypto_bitlord7 wrong

[Josh @devjoshstevens]

No polymarket or UMA contracts have been exploited. All user funds are safe, and using https://t.co/3FEzuqLolJ is safe, so business as usual.

We had a 6-year-old private key that was compromised. This was in the internal top-up config, which is why funds were being sent to it. We have rotated this key, revoked all prod permissions and are moving all PKs to KMS keys from now on.

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

@DarkWebInformer 😂 "compromised"?

Part of the beauty of being on-chain is all our data is publicly auditable… this is a feature, not a bug. No data was "leaked" — it's accessible via our public endpoints & on-chain data.

Instead of paying for the data, you can access it for free via our APIs.

any time you see @Kalshi people talking, you should assume that they're stupid or they think you're stupid.

you may have seen them claiming that non-sports volume is growing, largely from a new "exotics" category.

what do they count as exotics? multi-leg sports parlays 🤡

We've heard your feedback, and we're excited to announce Polymarket is getting a full exchange upgrade.

Over the next few weeks, we're rolling out a rebuilt trading engine, upgraded smart contracts, and a new collateral token (Polymarket USD) to move off USDC.e. 🧵

Polymarket has acquired QCEX, a CFTC-regulated exchange and clearinghouse, for $112 million.

This paves the way for us to welcome American traders again.

I've waited a long time to say this:

Polymarket is coming home 🇺🇸🦅

[Shayne Coplan 🦅 @shayne_coplan]

8 months ago, on election night, we were on top of the world after Polymarket called the election.

8 days later, the FBI broke down my door at 6am and took all my computers and phones, looking for anything that could imply foul play.

While traumatic, it etched the story of Polymarket's accuracy, and the ensuing resistance, into the history of American politics.

And today, I'm happy to announce that this chapter of the story is over.

After cooperating and engaging, we've been cleared of any wrongdoing. Justice prevailed.

God Bless America 🇺🇸

Some stats from yesterday:

- 20M website views
- >$300M volume
- ~1M concurrent users across web + app at peak

When I joined @Polymarket years ago, many had written off prediction markets entirely. We held a different view. To us they seemed obvious, especially at a time when the ideal substrate - blockchains - were maturing.

The last few years has had its ups and downs and it was 1000x harder than I thought it would be. As Paul Graham says "marketplaces are so hard to get rolling that you should expect to take heroic measure". Our team persevered and worked our asses off solving challenge after challenge to realize the vision. The results speak for themselves.

Many now write off prediction markets as an election-only phenomenon which will again be proven wrong. Event trading and the truth engine it creates is here to stay and @Polymarket will be at the center pushing it forward. Lots of work still to do.

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

Last night, Polymarket proved the wisdom of markets over the polls, the media, and the pundits.

Polymarket consistently and accurately forecasted outcomes well ahead of all three, demonstrating the power of high volume, deeply liquid prediction markets like those pioneered by Polymarket.

We are proud to have delivered high quality, transparent data to everyone across the globe and ahead of everyone else. We are just at the beginning of building a generational platform that demystifies the events that matter most to people around the world.

We thank our visitors and traders for believing in our vision and being a part of the journey. We commend both campaigns for a passionate and hard fought campaign and congratulate President Trump and Vice President-elect Vance on their victory.
