Polymarket, a decentralized forecast market platform, integrates ChainLink’s Oracle Network to increase market resolution accuracy and speed.
According to a Friday press release shared with Cointelegraph, Polymarket is partnering with ChainLink to integrate its data standards into Polymarket’s resolution process.
The collaboration initially plans to expand to additional markets with a focus on increasing the accuracy and speed of asset pricing resolution.
Polymarket’s pricing integration with ChainLink is available immediately on Polygon Mainnet, but the parties hope to use ChainLink in the future to explore additional forecast markets.
Polymarket uses polygons by default
ChainLink integration is a critical development for Polymet, as the platform uses the polygon blockchain (Layer 2 (L2) Ethereum Scaling Solution) as its underlying network.
Launched in 2020, Polymarket has emerged as the leading crypto-enabled forecasting market platform where users can bet on the outcome of future events using digital assets such as Circle’s USDC (USDC) Stablecoin on the Polygon blockchain.
While Polygon focuses on delivering faster and cheaper transactions by processing transactions from the main Ethereum chain, ChainLink offers an Oracle network that connects smart contracts on the blockchain with actual external data.
So, polygons are by default a chain of polymates, but ChainLink sends data and sets the market to the polygon chain that is in production.

“Polymarket’s decision to integrate ChainLink’s proven Oracle Infrastructure is a pivotal milestone that will significantly enhance the creation and resolution of forecast markets,” said Sergey Nazarov, co-founder of ChainLink, adding:
“When market outcomes are resolved with high-quality data from Oracle Networks and tamper-proof calculations, the forecast market evolves into a world-renowned, reliable, real-time signal.”
The “subjective” market explored
In addition to consolidating pricing markets with clear and decisive solutions, Polymarket and ChainLink will explore methodologies that will bring about additional forecast markets, the announcement states.
Beyond pricing forecasts, Polymarket and ChainLink are also exploring ways to apply Oracle networks to more subjective questions that typically rely on social voting mechanisms. Companies say expanding into these markets could further minimize bias and enhance resolution integrity.
The company did not respond immediately to details about the Cointelegraph.
The news comes after the US Commodity Futures Trade Commission issued a no-action letter to Clearinghouse, which Polymerk acquired in early September, marking another case in 2025 that softened its approach to code enforcement.
In late August, Polymarket added Donald Trump Jr. to the advisory board after securing investment from the capital in 1789.
