Polymarket's VP of Engineering: Infrastructure development is lagging behind business; full investment is being made in upgrades and weekly updates are promised.

CoinFeed reported on April 25th that Josh Stevens, Polymarket's newly appointed VP of Engineering, stated on the X platform that the platform's business growth has significantly exceeded the capacity of the existing infrastructure, indicating a serious underinvestment in previous expansion efforts. The engineering team has now fully shifted its focus to system upgrades, with core priorities including: reducing on-chain data latency, advancing chain migration to obtain larger block space and lower gas, fixing transaction cancellation issues, optimizing website responsiveness and UX, and reconstructing the CLOB central limit order book. The technical roadmap is also clearly defined: developing a unified TypeScript SDK and unified API, deploying a new version of Polymarket contracts, and launching perpetual contracts (Perps); regarding security, daily collaboration with four security teams is maintained to ensure fund security.
