➤ Polymarket, a crypto prediction market, faces scrutiny over its dispute resolution system where nearly 20% of contested outcomes involved judges with financial stakes in the markets they adjudicated. ➤ The platform utilizes UMA's decentralized oracle system, where token holders vote on disputes, but historical controversies and the WSJ investigation highlight concerns of 'whale' manipulation and conflicts of interest. ➤ Despite findings, Polymarket has not implemented significant changes, and the low bond requirement for dispute proposals exacerbates concerns about the integrity of the resolution process.

➤ A Polymarket event contract regarding Strategy's Bitcoin sale resolved to 'No' despite the sale occurring within the timeframe, due to the confirmation happening after the deadline. ➤ This resolution has sparked significant controversy and concerns about Polymarket's token-weighted dispute resolution system, with accusations of whale manipulation and potential governance attacks. ➤ The incident highlights broader issues in prediction markets regarding resolution integrity, transparency, and the potential impact on traders, with calls for regulatory scrutiny.

➤ Polymarket faces scrutiny as nearly 20% of its dispute judges have financial ties to the bets they decide, raising conflict-of-interest concerns. ➤ The UMA-based resolution system, where tokenholders vote on market outcomes, incentivizes judges to vote in favor of their own bets. ➤ This situation creates an uphill battle for bettors challenging resolutions and highlights broader governance issues in the prediction market industry.
