Polymarket Says Issue Fixed, Pledges to Make Affected Users Whole

The third-party compromise framing puts Polymarket's operational risk squarely in the vendor-dependency bucket, a familiar weak point for platforms that outsource core infrastructure. The pledge to make users whole carries weight given the platform's role in event-driven markets, where a halted book leaves positions stranded and prices unable to clear. The open questions are the scope of the compensation and how quickly trading restores, since a prolonged halt tests user confidence in a venue whose product depends on continuous price discovery.
