POLYMARKET PROTOCOL V2
Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter
Polymarket is replacing its Gnosis Conditional Tokens Framework (CTF) from 2019, which accumulated contract layers with each new feature, with Protocol V2: a ground-up rebuild that consolidates the stack into one ERC1155 positions contract, one pUSD collateral token, one exchange, and one router across all market types. A new OracleAggregator with pluggable resolution modules connects to UMA, Chainlink, and future oracle sources, while first-class bridging support for positions, collateral, and resolutions lays the infrastructure for multi-chain expansion. The protocol launches with four market types (Binary, Atomic Neg-risk, Incremental Neg-risk, and Combinatorial) and is upgradeable behind a governance process, enabling the team to ship features without disrupting existing integrations.
