Polymarket Head of Protocol Rajath Alex announced Protocol V2, a redesign that replaces the platform’s 2019 Gnosis CTF foundation. The system centers on a single ERC-1155 position contract, pUSD collateral, and a consolidated exchange and router across market types.
Why it matters
The modular architecture is designed to support binary, neg-risk, and combinatorial markets, with a multi-oracle aggregator supporting UMA and Chainlink. It also includes cross-chain bridging, bringing several core functions into one protocol design.
Market impact
Polymarket plans to test canary markets from October 5 to 30 before a full mainnet switchover targeted for November 2. The launch is also planned to coincide with a new Rust-based Data API V2.
Certora formally verified the protocol, which has also undergone extensive audits and is backed by a $5 million bug bounty. The staged testing and security measures will be key ahead of the planned migration.
