Polymarket Partners with Chainlink to Improve Market Resolution Accuracy

Polymarket, the world's largest prediction market platform, has integrated Chainlink's oracle technology to address long-standing issues in market resolution. The collaboration leverages Polygon's blockchain network to enable near-instant settlement of crypto price prediction markets.

Traditional prediction markets have grappled with delayed payouts and disputed outcomes. Polymarket's previous reliance on community voting and third-party oracles like UMA led to governance vulnerabilities and user frustration. Controversial markets, including bets on Ukrainian political figures, exposed systemic weaknesses.

Chainlink's decentralized oracle network provides tamper-proof data feeds, eliminating the need for manual resolution. The solution prevents governance attacks while maintaining transparency - a critical advancement for prediction markets seeking institutional adoption.
