Excited to join @Polymarket as VP of Engineering. I haven’t seen a hungrier team in my career, the talent density here is insane. We’re building the future of how people understand the world. What should we build next? What’s broken? What’s missing? Drop it below. P.s we are hiring world class people in NYC DMs open

Much of Polymarket's core trading infrastructure was built years ago and is now being rearchitected to handle today's scale. ClobV2 with deposit wallet was the top non-negotiable priority because it's what prevents ghost fills the added latency you've seen since v2 mostly comes from new order and wallet validation infrastructure. With that protection in place, reducing latency to the fastest we ever had it is now our single biggest focus. Over the next two weeks we have a series of releases dedicated to bringing latency down. Broadly, they target: - Rewriting one of the slowest internal steps in the order flow. - Smarter handling of activity bursts, aiming at reducing backed-up queues. - Reworking the order book and its data flow. The single biggest latency reduction in the plan. The first release in this series went live today. Expect the next latency releases toward the end of this week and next week.

@0xrajath @Polymarket so glad to have you leading the protocol team! 🐐

Excited to announce that I’m now leading Protocol Engineering @Polymarket ! I’ve been here about 3 months now and the engineering talent we’ve acquired over the past couple of months is insane. We have elite talent from some of the top crypto protocols and companies with years of crypto infrastructure experience under their belt, and we’re all starting to get into the rhythm of working together. You can see the result of it over some of the releases we had over the past few weeks. And we’re only getting started! Our mission is to will the promise of prediction markets into existence. And to achieve that we’ve oriented the Protocol team around the philosophy of ‘Product-led Protocol Engineering’. We do not build protocols because it’s intellectually stimulating, rather we build it because there’s a genuine problem to be solved. We ship with speed while being security conscious at the same time. If this excites you and you want to be working with me, @devjoshstevens and @shayne_coplan on a regular basis. Then reach out! We’re opportunistically looking for 1-2 more protocol engineers to join the team. Great engineering and design is table stakes. We’re additionally looking for high agency, good communication, great taste and customer intuition. You can be a superstar, but you’re still part of the team. We have an ambitious roadmap and aim to make Polymarket synonymous with Prediction Markets. We are the search engine for the future.

@0xsexybanana We are looking into this a bit deeper - don’t worry

@fortaellinger @shayne_coplan @MatthewModabber @HereComesKumar @williamlegate take a look now @fortaellinger

@devjoshstevens @shayne_coplan @MatthewModabber @HereComesKumar @williamlegate nope :( same issue

hey everyone my latest Polymarket win ($1M gross, $600K net) is being processed. the market has been resolved, but I’m still unable to claim my winnings. i hope Polymarket sorts this out quickly

@fortaellinger @shayne_coplan @MatthewModabber @HereComesKumar @williamlegate DM me

@SkewDealer @Polymarket @mustafap0ly Yea it’s a bug we will fix today thanks

@Polymarket @mustafap0ly @devjoshstevens My PnL is going completely crazy. My month is very profitable. (Probably around +15k$) How can I be down so much ? Seems like you changed something and it is not working well

@v4rvl Thank you

@devjoshstevens I will. Paused vault development because my strategies were really affected by ghost fills. Will come back to devving them in a week or so.

If ghostfill issues drove you away from Polymarket, whether up/down markets or any markets I completely understand. But please give it another shot. It’s now working better than ever, and if there’s anything in the UI that could make your experience even better, we want to hear it. We’re building the best defi prediction product user-first, one improvement at a time.

@f25f51f @rohitsethi_xyz Fix is coming out tonight for this - sorry you faced this issue

@rohitsethi_xyz @devjoshstevens This issue has been going on for several days now, and many people have lost real money because of it.

@TheBrootDAO Fix is coming out tonight for this - sorry you faced this issue

@devjoshstevens I have a shares but can't place sell order and also not a cash out. I have 2 position of this type that I am unable to sell.

@Yusuf_Kasim_ Yeah good idea I agree

@devjoshstevens One important UI change I suggest is making fees transparent to the public. Show fees in transaction history and make them publicly visible. Display P&L after deducting buy and sell fees. The P&L chart should also account for fees.

@Team_Idefix Can you share me details of this in my DMs

@devjoshstevens Magic wallet login fails half of the time-horrible

@love_u_4ever @louispolymarket

@devjoshstevens Why are the colors reversed between the outcome button and the trade history?

@XLive83060 @louispolymarket @louispolymarket

@devjoshstevens @louispolymarket The buy button jumps in live mode when the price changes.

Status update. Working through the issues users have flagged. Current focus: - Order placement & cancel latency (P0): two fixes in flight. Spam mitigations + improved order intake (ETA Wednesday). More guardrails on top. - "Not enough balance / allowance" on limit sells (and some buys): multiple fixes shipped, first focused on buys. Major source of sell-limit issue identified with patch in QA, releasing tomorrow - Cancel orders right after a restart: shipping in next week's CLOB release. - 403 on API key creation: working directly with Cloudflare and pulling logs from impacted users. - PnL - Some users have been encountering fluctuating PnL. Position values and average prices should now be correct, and daily/weekly PnL will heal automatically at end of day and end of week UTC time. - Withdrawals failing with "something went wrong": down to a handful of accounts. Deposit-wallet deployment edge case. Ping our bug-report channel in Discord if you hit it. - Deposit wallet generated for users with an existing proxy/safe: edge case when the /users call fails. Patch in QA, shipping next release.
