How to Choose a Infrastructure
- •Role clarity — infrastructure tools serve developers and protocol builders, not end-users. Confirm you need protocol-level access before choosing these over simpler API tools.
- •Oracle compatibility — Polymarket uses UMA's optimistic oracle for market resolution. Confirm any oracle-related tool is designed for or compatible with UMA's system.
- •Reliability and uptime — production applications need infrastructure with high availability guarantees. Check uptime history, SLA documentation, and fallback mechanisms.
- •Decentralization level — some indexers and RPC providers are centralized services; others use decentralized networks. Choose based on your reliability and trust requirements.
- •Open source and auditability — infrastructure tools powering other applications should have public, reviewable codebases for security and long-term maintainability.
Frequently Asked Questions
What infrastructure does Polymarket use?
Polymarket is built on Polygon, uses UMA's optimistic oracle for market resolution, and relies on conditional token smart contracts (CTF) for outcome tokenization. Several subgraphs and indexers also power data access for third-party applications.
What is an oracle in the context of Polymarket?
An oracle provides real-world information to smart contracts. Polymarket uses UMA's optimistic oracle to resolve market outcomes — determining which outcome actually occurred after an event settles and triggering payout distribution.
How do Polymarket subgraphs work?
Subgraphs index Polymarket smart contract events into a queryable GraphQL API using The Graph protocol. This allows developers to query trade history, positions, and market data without processing raw Polygon blockchain events directly.
