Polymarket products are evolving at a rapid pace. The world cup was a phenomenal success with extremely smooth execution as per our analysis onchain. The team and leadership seems locked in to make it a premier avenue for prediction markets.ย
Polymarket gave us another stress test with its biggest event in onchain prediction market history and Polygon didnt blink once.
Over 300+ World Cup markets created, with $4.2B in volume on one market alone.
To handle that load we scaled Polygon chain all year:ย
> gas limit raised from 60M to 160M
> block times down 25% to 1.5sย
> zero reorgs ALL YEAR
> scaled capacity by 5x
> running 5,000 payments per second, recently breached 6kTPS barrier
Next:ย Subsecond blocks, 10,000 TPS, then Gigagas
