Think everybody knows Prediction Markets as an ecosystem are here because of how much effort Polymarket put into getting it right early on—so clearly, there’s some positive foundations to work with.
Two issues I’d say led to why we’re even here working our ways through to how revive some parts of the platform is because,
1) Users expected a token reward which could have helped create a natural flywheel for some of the most active users such as Market Makers and ability to participate in network votes especially for a platform with two-sided resolution functionality
2) Too many bottlenecks for builders - People outside Polymarket’s immediate circle genuinely find it really hard to build specific functionality because the platform API endpoints barely make it possible to build more than a Trading DEX frontend.
The Orderbook doesn’t allow for effective streaming of live data to set up strategies and the execution point also doesn’t make it easier as well
If these two things get fixed asap, I’m sure the platform ecosystem will be back to as vibrant as it, not too long ago was
