The rollout connects Chainlink’s oracle infrastructure to Polymarket’s platform on Polygon mainnet, giving traders access to faster, tamper-resistant data feeds and automated settlement tools.
The system pairs Chainlink Data Streams, which deliver low-latency, timestamped market prices, with Chainlink Automation, which executes on-chain resolution at predetermined times.
Together, the two features remove delays in verifying market outcomes and reduce the possibility of disputes.
By adopting Chainlink’s deterministic oracle network, Polymarket seeks to address those concerns with cryptographic guarantees rather than community arbitration.
Looking forward, the partnership could expand beyond straightforward price predictions. Polymarket and Chainlink are exploring how to apply the same infrastructure to markets where outcomes are less clear-cut and historically resolved through social voting.
If successful, that shift could lower the risk of bias and help prediction markets evolve into more credible tools for gauging real-world sentiment.
