Polymarket's VP of Engineering: Platform growth far exceeds infrastructure capacity, which will drive performance and architecture upgrades.

Josh Stevens, Polymarket's newly appointed VP of Engineering, stated on the X platform that Polymarket's business growth has far exceeded the capacity of its existing infrastructure, and the team had previously underinvested in scaling. The engineering team is currently focusing entirely on system upgrades, including optimizing on-chain data latency, advancing chain migration to obtain larger block sizes and lower gas costs, resolving transaction cancellation issues, improving website responsiveness and user experience, and refactoring the CLOB (Central Limit Order Book) system. Stevens added that the team is also developing a unified TypeScript SDK, a unified API, a new version of Polymarket contracts, and the upcoming perpetual contract (Perps) system, while maintaining daily collaboration with four security teams to ensure fund security. He emphasized that weekly engineering updates will be released in the future, acknowledging that current engineering capabilities have not matched Polymarket's market position, adding, "The next few months will prove everything."
