Polymarket Vice President of Engineering: Platform growth far exceeds infrastructure capacity, will advance performance and architecture upgrades
Odaily Planet Daily News: Polymarket’s new Vice President of Engineering, Josh Stevens, stated on the X platform that the growth rate of the Polymarket platform has far exceeded the capacity of the existing infrastructure, and the team previously did not invest enough in scaling. The current engineering team is focusing entirely on system upgrades, including optimizing on-chain data latency, advancing chain migration to gain larger block space and lower Gas costs, resolving transaction cancellation issues, improving website response speed and user experience, and reconstructing the CLOB (Central Limit Order Book) system.
John said that the team is also developing a unified TypeScript SDK, a unified API, a new version of the Polymarket contract, and an upcoming perpetual contracts (Perps) system, while maintaining daily collaboration with four security teams to ensure fund safety. He emphasized that engineering updates will be released weekly in the future and admitted that the current engineering capacity does not match Polymarket’s market position, “everything will be proven in the coming months.”
