This is my 3rd week as VP of Engineering DeFi at @Polymarket , and I'm going to be straight: the traction @Polymarket has seen has massively outpaced our infrastructure, and we haven't done nearly enough to scale to keep up. I hear you, and fixing this is our entire focus. We're a major company now, and we need to engineer like one. Here's exactly what we're doing: - Onchain data latency. We're working on making this near-instant so the experience is incredible. - Chain migration. We need more block space, cheaper gas and much smaller block times so settlement is instant. - Transactions are getting cancelled. We understand this is one of the most frustrating issues right now, and we have a complete fix coming very soon. - Massive focus on the website to make it faster, more responsive, and with better UX. - We added observability everywhere. Proper alerting so we catch issues ourselves, market makers should not be the ones telling us something is down. That's been unacceptable, and we know it. - E2e tests throughout, starting with the CLOB, so issues get caught in CI before anything ships. - CLOBv2 is not a rewrite. It won't improve performance or stability on its own; it's an upgrade that unlocks us to move fast right after. We'll do better with communication next time. - We are rebuilding the CLOB from the ground up. Most important thing we're doing. Without it, we can't be the best DeFi exchange in the world. We know it, we're on it, it's mission critical. - Unified TypeScript SDK for all APIs, which is shipping soon. - Unified API. One WS connection for everything, with a schema that's actually readable. - New Polymarket contract in the works that unlocks things that are simply impossible on the current protocol. - New hires: Head of QA Automation, Head of Dev Tooling, Head of Internal Tooling, Head of Data Engineering. - Smaller, dedicated teams. Fewer focus points per person, clearer ownership. People do what they're good at and are accountable for it. - Working closely with customer support to give them real debugging tools so any user issue gets properly diagnosed, not lost. - Proper communication with marketing and market makers so everyone knows what's coming and when, and MM can submit feature requests with a clear path to get them into engineering and shipped. - Working with 4 security teams daily to ensure we're super secure and that funds are always safe. - Perps incoming. Brand new contracts and a backend built from scratch in Rust. We're proud of this one. - A lot of other fixes are running in parallel right now. Starting next Friday, I will be posting weekly engineering updates. I joined because I genuinely believe in what @Polymarket is trying to do. @shayne_coplan built this so the world has somewhere to go to find out what's actually going to happen, not what the media thinks, not what a pundit says, but what thousands of people are willing to put money on. But right now, our engineering isn't living up to that. We've let people down, and I'm not going to dress that up. I came here to fix it, and that's exactly what we're going to do. The next few months are going to speak for themselves. Stay with us.

sui's real superpower is that you can compose 1,024 heterogeneous operations into a single txn either all of them happen or none of them do. this is what a programmable transaction block (PTB) actually does it collapses what would be an orchestration layer on every other stack into a single atomic call on sui and it is the most underpriced thing in crypto right now every other chain gives you one call at a time. building any real defi position means a chain of dependent calls that have to clear one at a time each one a separate failure mode. each one a window where the state of the world can change underneath you before the next step lands sui defi apps like @AftermathFi perps are already leveraging PTBs to do in a single atomic block what would be 10 to 20 separate txns anywhere else that is where real capital efficiency comes from. and it is going to matter a lot more in the world we are walking into because the next era of finance is going to be executed by machines, continuously, at speeds no human could keep up with in the agentic world the thing routing transactions will be an optimization function it will be trying to fulfill an intent that spans multiple protocols, multiple contracts, multiple dependent steps, all in one execution one intent, many moving parts, zero tolerance for partial success because automation without atomicity is not automation. it is a rollback engine with extra steps and this is where almost every other stack falls over. and we built a demo with google on the ap2 protocol that showed exactly this an agent executing batch payments across any number of services, at the same time, atomically that is not something you can do on traditional cloud. that is not something you can do on other blockchains solana cannot do this. ethereum cannot do this. even web2 platforms like AWS and google cannot do this either what takes 5 sequential transactions with confirmation waits on other chains, sui does in one what requires an agent to coordinate across off-chain services on other stacks, sui expresses as a single ptb what forces a developer to write bespoke contracts just to compose two protocols on other platforms, sui gives you for free and this is why we built @SuiNetwork the way we did parallel execution by default, atomic heterogeneous composition as a first class primitive, and an object model where every asset is a first class citizen of the chain, carrying its own ownership, rules, and state what this tech stack is going to unlock is still ahead of us i believe it is going to break open what finance can actually be on the internet
