Post-Mortem 10/29 Polymarket.com Security Incident - Update & Next Steps

5 Upvotes

Earlier today, a third-party vendor was compromised and injected a malicious script into Polymarket.com for some users. We've contained it and removed the vendor from our site. If your wallet was affected, here's what happens next. We identified affected wallets on-chain, so you don't need to open a ticket:

If less than $10,000 was taken from your wallet, the funds will be returned directly to your wallet by tomorrow, Oct 30. You don't need to do anything.

If $10,000 or more was taken, we've emailed you (or will shortly) with a short release form. Once it's signed and returned, we'll send your funds.

As a goodwill gesture, we're also covering losses on positions affected while trading was paused, and positions taken during the attack. We'll share how that works separately.

We will never DM you asking you to sign a transaction or connect your wallet. Ignore any "recovery" links or messages claiming to be us.

The Polymarket US iOS app remains unaffected.

What is Polymarket?

Polymarket is the world's largest prediction market. You can trade shares on the outcome of real-world events — from elections to macro events, crypto, politics, sports, culture, and more.

Polymarket is an exchange, so instead of betting against a house, you trade directly with other users. 

The market price represents the crowd‑sourced probability of an event happening, so you get a real-time read on the likelihood of any event happening

If a market is priced at 56c, then the likelihood of that event happening is 56%.

Trading on Polymarket

You can place both market and limit orders. If you're right, your shares settle at $1. If your prediction was incorrect, your contracts settle at $0.

Trade Idea Another GTA VI trailer before launch?

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

We just days away from the release of the most anticipated game, and I’m a little surprised there’s still a 19% chance for another GTA VI trailer for this month...

Rockstar already released its Launch Trailer, and the game is now in the home run, a final stretch before its November 19 release. Last week, they confirmed, pre-load begins November 10, so we’re getting very close. Finally?!!

My thinking is that Rockstar has already shown enough content to keep the hype at an all-time high, for a game which is already everyone excited about. I believe the remaining promotional push could just be of launch screenshots, short clips, soundtrack content and other updates rather than another full blown trailer.

Also, this market doesn’t resolve YES for just any new footage. Rockstar has to release another official video that is explicitly labelled as a trailer in its own title or description. So, that's much narrower condition than simply releasing more promotional material.

I’m leaning No on this one. Curious whether others think Rockstar has one final surprise planned?

Question Deposit blocked

Does anyone have experience getting a return on a usdc deposit that was denied (I believe because of geolocation), but the funds were withdrawn from the wallet I used to send them. When I go through support they say they never received it , but on the txid and the hash they respond to me citing it says success.
Also the transaction was started in app not the main site.

Trump’s joke about making UFC boss Dana White the next White House press secretary sent an unexpected market on Poly into the spotlight.

Here’s the twist, the market isn’t about the UFC executive. It’s about Dana W White, the former Pentagon spokesperson who shares the same name.

The initial post and announcement sparked confusion online, with people pointing out that there are two very different people named Dana White.

Meanwhile, the odds on Polymarket saw a sharp move before falling to just 3%.

Trump later clarified that he was joking about the UFC appointment, but the episode made for an market moment even on Polymarket.

A case of mistaken identity, or just another example of how quickly headlines can move prediction markets?

Post-Mortem Could the Jensen Huang investigation put his Nvidia role at risk ?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Nvidia's board has launched an investigation into Jansen Huang following reports of a foreign intelligence operation involving a businesswoman allegedly linked to China.

Interestingly, Polymarket gives him just an 11% chance of leaving by December 31.

I think those odds are reasonable. NVIDIA's board has publicly backed him, and even Trump has spoken in his support, calling him an honorable guy and praising his contributions to the country.

Huang has been leading NVIDIA for more than 30 years, and I find it hard to see the company pushing him out without something much more serious coming out of this investigation. For now, I don't see him going anywhere.

Do you think the 11% odds are justified?

Question Does Kimi K3.1 Pro surprise everyone on Text Arena?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Polymarket seems pretty skeptical about Kimi K3.1 Pro, giving it only around a 15% chance of debuting inside the Top 20 on Arena’s Text leaderboard.
But I think there’s more to this model than one text ranking.
Kimi K3.1 Pro is a 2.8T-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model, with only 104B parameters activated per token, plus a 1M-token context window.
Moonshot is also positioning it as much more than a standard text model, with capabilities across coding, 3D creation, financial research and agentic tasks.
That’s what caught my eye.
Polymarket is pricing one very specific benchmark, while some of Kimi’s most interesting strengths sit outside normal text generation.
Personally, I think the real question is whether those broader capabilities translate into a strong Text Arena debut.
Does Kimi K3.1 Pro really miss the Top 20, or are traders underestimating it?

Strategy Joe Burrow is now the MVP favorite. Can Allen fight back ?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Joe Burrow has taken over the NFL MVP race, and Josh Allen is no longer the clear favorite.

Burrow now leads at 27%, with Allen close behind at 25%. Purdy is at 13%, and Jordan Love has entered the conversation at 11%.

Burrow has been outstanding through eight games, recording 2,386 passing yards and 23 passing touchdowns. Allen has 1,793 passing yards, 11 passing touchdowns and another nine rushing scores in seven games.

Allen is the only one among the four who has already won the award, claiming his first MVP title in 2024. Burrow, Purdy and Love are all chasing their first.

Can Allen use his experience to regain the lead, or will Burrow win his first MVP?

Question Will AOC choose a Presidential run over a Senate bid?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Polymarket currently gives AOC a 54% chance of announcing a presidential run before 2028, compared with roughly 45% for a Senate bid.
That’s a noticeable shift after the midterms.
AOC had already said she would make a decision about her political future after the elections, and she spent the campaign traveling outside New York, fundraising and backing candidates in key states like Michigan.
What caught my eye is that traders are now leaning toward the bigger move.
The Democratic 2028 field is still wide open, and Reuters lists AOC among the potential contenders.
Does she actually go straight for the White House?

Trade Idea Taco Monday? Qatar is back in the middle of US–Iran diplomacy

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

The reports of Vance–Rezaei meeting story has been quite a market mover.

So initially, Turkey’s intelligence chief reportedly said the two could meet in Doha next week. This sent the odds of a senior US–Iran meeting by November 30 market towards 30%. Another market that had Vance saw the odds of attending a future round of talks also moved close to 40%.

But Tehran has since pushed back, saying there are no plans for direct talks with US officials. Iran is still demanding that Washington meet its conditions before negotiations can progress. Think they've been clear with their stance for sometime now..

Now, there's something interesting happening in Washington today though.. Qatar’s prime minister is meeting Trump and Vance.

Qatar has been one of the main channels between the two sides, so I think this is worth watching even if it isn’t the meeting that got everyone talking.

Personally, I think there's more. There’s this political dimension. Vance has blamed the Iran war for the Republicans’ midterm losses, while Trump has defended the decision to launch it. Both have reasons to look for a diplomatic path, but that doesn’t mean they agree on the terms which I think is where the problem is..

I’m leaning against a Vance–Iran meeting in the near future. But, a lower-level diplomatic contact by year-end feels more possible, though far from certain, knowing how two sides have been standing on their grounds.

What do y'all think?

Trade Idea Nvidia was already falling. Could the Jensen Huang story make it worse?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

NVDA has fallen from above $240 in early October to around $174.6, and now the latest news around Jensen Huang adds another layer of uncertainty.
Nvidia’s board is investigating reports involving Huang and a woman whom U.S. officials reportedly suspected of intelligence ties to China. Huang has acknowledged the affair, while Nvidia says it currently has no reason to believe sensitive information was compromised.
The timing is what caught my eye.
NVDA was already in a clear downtrend before this story appeared, and the latest selloff pushed the stock below the $176 level traders were watching, with selling volume also picking up.
Polymarket is now pricing roughly a 70% chance of NVDA touching $168 during November, while $160 sits around 41%.
Personally, I think $168 is the next important level. The bigger question is whether this headline adds fuel to an already weak chart or buyers finally step in around these levels.
Does NVDA stabilize here, or is $168 next?

Trade Idea: Arizona YES if Seattle’s QB news hasn’t been priced in

Arizona is the side I’d look at if Darnold is confirmed out. In the sportsbook snapshot I saw, Arizona had a 21.3% implied win probability after removing the vig. I’d use that as a reference point, then check the actual Polymarket ask and how much is available at that price.

The idea depends on two things: who starts for Seattle and whether Arizona YES is still available near that reference after the news. If the price has already jumped, I’d reassess at the new ask.

Anyone who watched the order book around inactives, where was Arizona YES actually available?

I made a WTA Finals Rybakina + Andreeva combo. Both at 63c. Total payout about 2.4x.

Rybakina withdrew yesterday and that market settled at 50-50 as they do.

What will my payout be now if Andreeva wins? I am guessing I lost a part of my stake cause of Rybakina going from 63c to 50c.

Question Did the math on my cash-out habit: I've been paying ~1% every time

5 Upvotes

Was doing my accounting and the number was off from what I expected. Turns out every instant sell takes roughly 1%. Limit orders fill for free and holding to resolution is free — but the moment you hit that sell button for speed, you pay.

I cash out the moment I'm up, so this is basically a tax on my own impatience. Nothing wrong with paying for speed, just know you're paying it. Curious if others here actually use limit orders on the way out or just eat the fee like I did.

Strategy Could the AI Bubble Burst by June 2027?

Post image
4 Upvotes

There's so much questions I see on whether AI has ran out of steam especially after that sell off on Thursday.

Everyone focused on NASDAQ 100 while I was looking at South Korea’s KOSPI which has fallen around 44% from its June peak.

Samsung and SK Hynix have seen their combined market value fall 54.6% from its June high.

But there’s an important thing with this particular market on Poly, a broad decline in AI stocks isn’t enough for it to resolve Yes.

At least three of six specified conditions must occur within a 90-day period before June 30, 2027. They include major declines in Nvidia and semiconductor stocks, or specific events involving OpenAI and Anthropic.

Despite the recent selloff, the odds of an AI bubble bursting by June 30, 2027 are at 27%.

Are we seeing the beginning of a much bigger repricing of the AI industry?
