Polymarket Expands Fast-Track Markets to Gold, Silver With Chainlink
Polymarket deepens its Chainlink oracle partnership to power 15-minute prediction markets across commodities, equities, and forex.
Polymarket, the prediction market platform that has already processed more than $11 billion in trading volume through its Chainlink integration, is broadening its rapid-fire trading offerings to include gold, silver, equities, and foreign exchange instruments, the company announced Wednesday.
The expanded partnership designates Chainlink as the official oracle provider for Polymarket's high-speed up/down markets, which resolve in as little as 15 minutes. Oracle networks like Chainlink supply real-world price data to blockchain-based platforms, enabling automated settlement without human intermediaries.
