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.
Real talk these recent waves of new larps in prediction markets create tons of slop with no real value to actual users/traders. Products with little to no relevancy to prediction markets built on @Polymarket
I'm tired of seeing slop tweets about fake PnL and bots, and I know many of you are too.
Time to raise the standard. We don't want this to just be a trend! we want to build actual products that have real value to users as a whole. Prediction markets have years of runway ahead. Think about how wide this space can get, imagine betting on and predicting anything alongside your friends and cabal.
How many people in your GC or Cabal are actually going to be right about the future? And who's going to be remembered for it?
That's the real game. Curate the most valuable asset you have which is your circle and make money together.
KYC is now live on Polymarket.
And honestly, this feels like the beginning of a major shift for prediction markets.
The updated Geographic Restrictions page now says verified users will get the lowest possible latency which tells you speed and identity are starting to matter more than ever.
At the same time, they’ve opened a Google Form for both KYC and KYB submissions.
For years, Polymarket thrived on pseudonymous traders, anonymous whales, and users finding ways around regional barriers.
But if the platform truly wants institutional adoption, mainstream scale, and regulatory legitimacy, this was probably inevitable.
The real question now is:
Does prediction markets lose part of its original spirit once identity becomes required for the best experience? #server-infrastructure" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.polymarket.com/api-reference/…
