Polymarket Resumes Trading, Vows to Reimburse Traders After Third-Party Provider Compromise

The disclosure gap is the real story here: Polymarket has put a number on nothing, while outside blockchain-based estimates already run into the millions, so the reimbursement pledge is being made without a public baseline to measure it against. This matters less for prediction-market pricing than for the credibility of the third-party infrastructure these venues lean on — an outage that hits trader balances is a different kind of risk than a disputed resolution. Watch whether a firm loss figure and reimbursement terms follow, and whether the provider is named; both are the difference between a contained incident and a precedent.
