New partnership aims to deliver faster and more reliable resolutions for crypto-powered betting platforms
Polymarket, a Polygon-based prediction platform, has partnered with Chainlink to improve the speed and accuracy of how markets are resolved. The integration brings Chainlink’s oracle network directly into Polymarket’s resolution process, helping ensure that outcomes are based on tamper-proof, high-quality data.
The partnership is already live on the Polygon mainnet, where Polymarket operates by default. While the initial focus is on asset pricing predictions, the two companies plan to expand into a broader range of markets in the coming months.
Chainlink data brings reliability
Polymarket enables users to bet on real-world events using stablecoins like Circle’s USDC. Until now, the accuracy of market resolutions has been a challenge in decentralized prediction platforms. Chainlink’s decentralized oracle system addresses this by bridging blockchain smart contracts with verified real-world data.
“Polymarket’s decision to integrate Chainlink’s proven oracle infrastructure is a pivotal milestone,” said Sergey Nazarov, Chainlink’s co-founder. “When market outcomes are resolved by high-quality data and tamper-proof computation, prediction markets evolve into reliable, real-time signals the world can trust.”
By leveraging Polygon’s low-cost transaction layer and Chainlink’s oracles, Polymarket is aiming to create a faster, cheaper, and more trustworthy experience for users.
Exploring “subjective” markets
Beyond asset pricing, the collaboration is also exploring how oracle networks can be applied to subjective markets — questions that typically rely on community voting to resolve. Polymarket believes this shift could reduce bias and increase resolution integrity for more complex event outcomes.
The move comes as regulators begin softening their stance toward prediction platforms. In early September, Polymarket-linked clearinghouse received a no-action letter from the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), signaling a more open regulatory environment.
With new advisory board members and growing institutional interest, Polymarket’s integration with Chainlink represents a major step toward making decentralized prediction markets a trusted source of real-time insights.
