Overview
- Polymarket announced Monday a 2–3 week rollout of its largest upgrade since launch, including CTF Exchange V2 and a rebuilt central limit order book.
- The migration introduces Polymarket USD, a token pegged 1:1 to USDC that replaces bridged USDC.e to remove cross-chain bridge risk.
- The new hybrid design matches orders off chain and settles on chain to lower gas costs, simplify order data, and improve execution.
- A short maintenance window will clear all order books, and API traders must update SDKs, wrap collateral, and re-sign orders using the new structure.
- Support for EIP-1271 and multisig wallets will let DAOs and funds trade from smart-contract wallets as U.S. oversight of prediction markets firms up and ICE backs the platform.
