Wu said that regarding the controversy caused by the Polymarket market rule clarification mechanism, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated that if the clarification is issued by the same mechanism responsible for the final ruling—that is, the oracle explaining how the ruling will be executed—it is reasonable under the premise that the oracle itself is reliable; if the clarification comes from a different mechanism, users must trust both the settlement oracle and the clarification provider, making the trust model less favorable.

V神's analysis is quite detailed; the oracle trust model is indeed easy to overlook.

Basically, it's one sentence: whoever has the right to interpret, bears the risk.

Polymarket's recent controversy reminds me of governance attacks in DeFi; vague rules are like landmines.

This logic applies to any DeFi protocol and is worth copying for product managers.

Users have no idea who is defining the rules, that is the real pain point.

In the short term, it's a PR crisis for Polymarket; in the long term, the entire industry's rules and standards need to be caught up.

Waiting for an expert to implement the ideal model described by Vitalik in code.

So, decentralized oracle networks are stronger than single nodes in this aspect.

Oracles being reliable ≠ Clarification mechanisms being reliable, two-layer risk stacking
