TechFlow News, May 30: Prediction market platform Polymarket announced its weekly product updates, with several core features now officially launched.
Notably, Polymarket’s perpetual contract product has gone live in production, initially supporting five traditional financial trading pairs and BTC perpetual contracts. More trading instruments and user access permissions will be rolled out in the future.
Meanwhile, the World Cup dedicated page is now live, featuring modules such as Globe/Map, Bracket, and Standings. Related event functionalities are currently undergoing final testing, providing a unified entry point for the upcoming World Cup prediction market.
Technically, the platform has optimized order book consistency for its Central Limit Order Book (CLOB) and plans to release a new version next week to further alleviate queue congestion during peak hours.
In terms of developer ecosystem, Polymarket has open-sourced TypeScript and Python SDKs, along with runnable examples. It has also launched its Unified API initiative, beginning with Gamma-related APIs. The Gamma module itself has undergone multiple upgrades, including optimizations for high-traffic read paths, improvements to pagination mechanisms, and several correctness fixes deployed in production.
With the progressive rollout of perpetual contracts, developer tools, and event-specific zones, Polymarket continues expanding beyond its prediction market roots—evolving into an integrated platform combining prediction markets, derivatives trading, and data services.
