Polymarket is integrating Chainlink's oracle network to enhance the resolution of its prediction markets, a move aimed at minimizing delays and the potential for tampering. This integration is now operational on Polygon and initially focuses on markets related to crypto asset prices, using data provided directly from Chainlink's decentralized oracle system. By doing so, Polymarket aims to streamline the settlement process once the betting time expires. Previously, Polymarket utilized an optimistic oracle system known as UMA, which faced criticisms regarding outcome biases. With the new setup, Chainlink's infrastructure facilitates quicker and more transparent market settlements. However, challenges remain in resolving subjective bets, which are not covered by the current integration. The companies express intentions to explore future applications for more subjective markets as their partnership develops.
