It passed relatively unnoticed that
@Polymarket launched the
@Poly_Institute a few days ago.
They’re setting up the first proper research Institute dedicated to prediction markets - independent academic work, open data, and actual fellowships.
They’re funding 12 PhD researchers with $10k each through the Science Fellowship.
Applications open August 18.
Researchers get full independence - they can publish whatever they want, even if it’s critical of Polymarket but they’re barred from trading while they’re in the program.
