Polymarket Engineering VP: Platform Growth Far Exceeds Infrastructure Capacity, Performance and Architecture Upgrades Underway

Odaily星球日报讯 Josh Stevens, the new Vice President of Engineering at Polymarket, stated on platform X that the business growth rate of the Polymarket platform has far exceeded the capacity of its existing infrastructure, and the team had previously underinvested in scaling. The current engineering team is now focusing all efforts on system upgrades, including optimizing on-chain data latency, advancing chain migration to achieve larger block space and lower gas costs, resolving transaction cancellation issues, improving website responsiveness and user experience, and restructuring the CLOB (Central Limit Order Book) system.

Stevens also mentioned that the team is developing a unified TypeScript SDK, a unified API, new Polymarket contracts, and the upcoming Perpetual Contracts (Perps) system. They also collaborate daily with four security teams to ensure fund safety. He emphasized that engineering updates will be released weekly moving forward, acknowledging that current engineering capabilities do not yet match Polymarket's market position, adding that "the next few months will prove everything."
