🚨 After Polymarket’s frequent outages,
they’re going straight to “rebuild from scratch”!
Could the new trading system speed jump by 20x?

In the past 48 hours, Polymarket traders may have really had a rough time.
Within just 24 hours, the platform’s CLOB system repeatedly malfunctioned—trading was forced to pause at one point, and it even switched to a “cancel-only orders” mode.
That means users can cancel orders, but can’t normally submit new trades.

For a platform that relies on real-time trading, this isn’t a minor glitch. ⚠️
What’s even more worth watching is that this time Polymarket didn’t choose to keep patching.
Instead, they’re preparing to rebuild the entire CLOB system.
Polymarket’s VP of Engineering, Josh Stevens, said the current codebase has accumulated a large amount of “technical debt,” and continuing to patch it won’t fundamentally solve the problem.

Earlier, the team had already expanded the system’s scale by 10x and improved speed by about 3x, but the issues kept showing up.
That’s why they ultimately decided to:
Rewrite it.
And it’s not just an upgrade—it’s a complete rebuild from the ground up using Rust.
Why Rust?
Because for a trading system, what truly matters isn’t only “fast”—it’s also stability and predictability.

When markets suddenly see a surge in orders, if system latency spikes unexpectedly, the trading experience can be completely transformed.
Rust’s memory safety and concurrency model can help the development team reduce certain underlying errors, while also lowering some kinds of unpredictable latency issues.

Polymarket’s targets are even more ambitious:
The new CLOB aims to process 200,000 orders per second.
It could eventually scale to more than 400,000 per second.
If they achieve this goal, it would mean the new system’s processing capacity could be 10 to 20 times what it is today. ⚡
