TechFlow News, April 25: Josh (@devjoshstevens), Vice President of Engineering at Polymarket, publicly acknowledged that the platform’s business growth has significantly outpaced its current infrastructure capacity. He announced a series of technical improvement initiatives, including: rebuilding the CLOB (Central Limit Order Book) to enhance performance and stability; migrating to a new blockchain to secure additional block space, reduce gas fees, and shorten block times; fixing transaction cancellation issues; launching a unified TypeScript SDK and unified API; developing a new version of the Polymarket smart contracts with expanded functionality; and building a new perpetuals (Perps) backend entirely in Rust.
Additionally, the team is hiring for multiple leadership roles—including QA Automation Lead, Developer Tools Lead, Internal Tools Lead, and Data Engineering Lead—and will continue collaborating with four security teams to ensure fund safety.
