The US trade deficit jumped to more than $100 billion in August as importers wrestled with a new round of President Trump's tariffs and continued to bring in billions of dollars' worth of components for AI data centers. The total gap: $105.6 billion, a 13.8% increase from July's revised $92.8 billion deficit, the highest level since early 2025, when importers stocked up ahead of Trump's "Liberation Day" and a later four-month surge in imports that pushed average monthly trade deficits north of $120 billion. Imports rose in August by 4.3%, compared with a 1.4% increase in exports. The US brought in $420.8 billion in total imports in August against $315.2 billion in exports. In an analysis, Capital Economics said the "sharp rise in imports suggests third quarter GDP growth will be well below our current forecast of 4.0%," suggesting that the final annualized figure could be closer to 2.5%." "The relatively broad-based rise in goods imports mean net trade was still a drag overall," the group added. The new data released Tuesday by the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis showed yet another pivot in global trade, covering the first month after a new phase of Trump's tariffs took effect and the month when trade talks with Canada collapsed . Demand for artificial intelligence was also evident, with tech companies importing goods to drive the ongoing data center build-out. The August data showed semiconductor imports increased by $2.4 billion, even as computer accessory imports decreased by $1.6 billion, with overall AI-related imports little changed from July but still elevated.

(Myung J. Chun/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images) · Myung J. Chun via Getty Images But a more significant driver of the increase in imports appeared to be industrial supplies. Imports of crude oil jumped by $3.3 billion, and imports of nonmonetary gold increased by $3.1 billion. It was another surge in goods imports that drove the headline deficit figure, with a goods deficit of $136.57 billion, while the US surplus in service imports stayed essentially flat. This latest data came after Trump levied new tariffs in late July , including a 10% tariff on top allies like the European Union and a 12.5% tariff on other nations, including China. The country-by-country breakdown underscored the persistent multibillion-dollar trade deficits that the US runs with a range of countries, from Mexico to Vietnam to the EU. The largest trade deficit was with Mexico, with a gap of $27.7 billion in August. The deficit with Canada increased by $4.1 billion to $7.1 billion in the month when trade tensions between the US and its northern neighbor escalated.

Will the worldwide revolt against oligarchy reach America before the billionaires buy our elections this fall? Two weeks ago tomorrow, on September 23rd, Madrid’s police had to cordon off a downtown street to carry an 87-year-old woman named María del Carmen Abascal out of the apartment she’d lived in for seven decades. She normally uses a wheelchair, so they carried her out on a stretcher, which provided some truly inflammatory social media video. All because her landlord wanted to raise the rent, which requires a change of tenants. The pictures of María being carried out of her apartment lit Spain on fire; she’s become the face of the nation’s housing crisis which has seen average rents nearly double in the past ten years. This past weekend tens of thousands marched again, with about a thousand people camped out in Madrid’s Puerta del Sol: one banner read “Looking for an apartment, selling a kidney.” While the pressure campaign worked on the landlord, who backed down and agreed to let her go home, it didn’t work on the “conservative” politicians who dominate the Spanish parliament. When Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s government proposed emergency tenant protections, the conservative opposition parties joined forces to kill them in parliament. As a result, Sánchez has pretty much been forced into taking the gamble of calling a snap election for November 29th. Spain is the microcosm, but this is happening all across the developed world. France is on fire because students are tired of their schools being starved for resources. Populist movements are sweeping the European continent. Forty-five years of “conservative” neoliberalism and austerity — all specifically designed to make the rich richer at the expense of working class people — have left average citizens furious. And that fury is driving two parallel movements; the big question before us is which one will prevail both this fall here and over the next few years worldwide. One movement is reflected in the encampment in Puerta del Sol where people understand that the landlord, land speculators, and the morbidly rich are the cause of their pain. You could call this the New Deal movement, for shorthand. The other is seen in the far-right parties that have been topping the polls in Germany, France, and Britain by telling those same frightened people that it’s not the billionaires that are the problem; it’s that brown-skinned immigrant with a funny name or the queer kid who lives down the street. Whichever side wins the argument over who’s the villain in today’s economic crisis for working people will be the one that ends up running these countries, including America. We’ve seen this movie before here in America, although most people have no memory of it and could only vaguely recognize a quick telling of history. The last time the morbidly rich held as much of our nation’s wealth and political power as they do today was the Gilded Age from the 1880s to the late 1920s, and popular rage at the oligarchs led to real progressive change: Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust Act in 1890, and then progressive Republican Presidents Teddy Roosevelt and William Howard Taft used it to break up the railroad and oil trusts along with dozens of others. The Tillman Act of 1907 made it a crime for corporations to give money or any sort of support to federal candidates for office. The income tax arrived in 1913 and the estate tax in 1916, and by the 1930s Franklin Roosevelt was building Social Security, the right to unionize, and the rest of the New Deal on that simple foundation. After World War II, democracies around the world copied FDR’s American New Deal formula, and that tightly regulated capitalism along with high taxes on the morbidly rich produced the largest middle class in history. Then working class people and progressives got complacent, thinking this would be the new normal forever, with a single paycheck being the entrée into the middle class. The oligarchs, however, were just getting started, just like they did during the Industrial Revolution following the Civil War that produced the first Gilded Age. As I lay out in The Hidden History of American Oligarchy, the counterattack began in 1971 when a corrupt tobacco lawyer named Lewis Powell wrote a memo for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce urging corporate America to step up and use their great wealth to seize control of our courts, campuses, media, low-media-cost low-population states that could be flipped Red, and Congress. The Heritage Foundation and ALEC followed within two years, as rightwing billionaires started buying radio stations, newspapers, and television networks, while Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan turned the project into government policy. The regulations and tax rates that had restrained great wealth and political corruption came down, and the money and political power of giant corporations and the morbidly rich have largely controlled both our politics and our economy ever since. Working people noticed they were getting screwed but by then there was a massive rightwing media infrastructure to redirect their anger, probably the oligarchs’ greatest achievement. For example, when Bush’s 2008 property- and bank-crash set off real rage at the banks and their oligarch CEOs, Koch-funded front groups organized it into the Tea Party and pointed it at Obama and his attempts to give all Americans healthcare. It hit its peak of success when Donald Trump came down the escalator in 2015, telling voters he didn’t need anybody’s money because, as he put it, “I’m really rich.” Suddenly it wasn’t the rich who were screwing average Americans: it was the rich who’d save us! To pull it off, he appropriated New Deal and Great Society language, promising to save and even strengthen Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid; this is what con men have done throughout history. The voters wanted their New Deal back with its middle class security on a single paycheck, but, true to Republican form, what they got instead was trillions in tax cuts for billionaires like Trump and his cabinet, paid for with almost a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid, an experimental program in six states to further privatize Medicare, and threats to cut Social Security. One of the most interesting laboratories for finding out whether billionaire money can still buy public opinion the way the Kochs did with the Tea Party is Prop 40 in California, the 5 percent one-time tax on that state’s roughly 230 billionaires that will cover the healthcare shortfall the state will experience because of the Big Beautiful Billionaire’s Bill’s cuts to Medicaid. A billionaire-backed group has gathered more than $187 million to stop it, while the measure’s backers have only pulled together an estimated $31 million. Google’s Sergey Brin alone has put in over $100 million. The billionaires’ group even succeeded in getting two decoy measures, Props 41 and 42, on the same ballot, written so that if either one gets more votes than Prop 40, the billionaire tax dies even if a majority of Californians vote for it. And the ads for the “No on 40” campaign is featuring teachers, firefighters, and the head of the state’s Planned Parenthood affiliates while the “Yes on 40” side says in the official voter guide that actual teachers, nurses, and Planned Parenthood workers support the tax. It’s the same kind of phony grassroots campaign Reagan used when he promised cutting taxes and killing unions would increase prosperity, and when the Tea Party and GOP warned against “communism” in Obamacare, forcing the end to the possibility of a public option. This same billionaire and corporate money is now pouring into the Senate races nationwide, using tools the robber barons of the late 19th century could have only dreamed about. The National Republican Senatorial Committee released a deepfake of Texas Democrat James Talarico in a dress with a disclosure so small and faint that Berkeley digital forensics expert Hany Farid said most people wouldn’t immediately know it was fake. Another group produced a phony “Daisy” ad portraying him as a doctor performing gender surgeries on children. In Michigan, Republicans greeted Abdul El-Sayed’s primary win with ads built around his full name and the Muslim Brotherhood, and their main super PAC has committed $51 million to that one race. On Sunday, I watched MS NOW play two of the newest deceptive Republican deepfakes, one putting Talarico in a makeup chair and another inventing “terrorists” in El-Sayed’s family. Spending just on Senate races is projected to pass $3.4 billion this cycle, and most of the big money is just now starting to hit the airwaves and, thus, tightening the races that had seemed were in the bag for Democrats. And if the lies don’t work, there’s always the power of our currently-billionaire-run government to insert itself in ways that can spin an election out of control. Last September Trump signed a national security memorandum called NSPM-7 that directs the FBI, the Treasury, and the IRS to go after the networks and funders behind what it calls domestic terrorism, and it lists among the “indicators” of that terrorism: “anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity.” By that standard, María’s Spanish neighbors camped in a public square to protest a greedy landlord could find themselves under investigation. Add the masked, anonymous, trigger-happy ICE thugs already working our streets with their new electric shock gloves, and the machinery of a “papers, please” society is right here right now. There’s no way this one single election will settle all this. During the first Gilded Age, it took 45 years to go from the Sherman Act to Social Security — with quite a few lost elections along the way —and the people who won that fight went through it never knowing if they’d prevail or not; the biggest intervention was probably the Republican Great Depression. But this November is a hinge moment in history. A Congress that can check Trump, a billionaire tax passed in the biggest state in the union, and senators like Talarico and El-Sayed who explicitly have run against the Epstein billionaire class would tell every Republican and the oligarchs who own them that their old trick of pointing at immigrants and trans kids has stopped working. On the other hand, if the deepfakes, decoy ballot measures, massive rightwing media penetration, algorithmic manipulation on billionaire-owned social media platforms, and billions in ads win out instead, they’ll be used in every election from here on. The easy lesson here is that if Spain’s protesters got an 87-year-old woman back into her home by showing up, we can do the same for our democracy that’s been so badly battered by 45 years of Republican con men and Democratic neoliberals. The next No Kings day of action is Saturday, October 17th, and “No Kings” has always meant “No Oligarchs,” too. Check your registration at vote.org, call your members of Congress through the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and tell them you want deepfake political ads outlawed, and if you live in California, vote yes on 40 and no on 41 and 42.

Unemployment rates are rising among graduates in Germany while traineeships, for jobs facing a shortage of workers, are increasingly vacant. So has vocational training become the better bet for job security? For generations, the classic advice from parents to their kids has been, 'Go to university to get a good career that pays more'. But a growing unemployment rate among university graduates in Germany calls that advice into question. The number of university students in Germany continues to rise while companies are increasingly looking to AI to consolidate tasks and cut jobs. So a degree does not seem to guarantee work opportunities in the same way that it used to. And at the same time a growing number of vocational traineeships, which can lead to paid work very quickly, are vacant. So which path offers better prospects for young people in Germany today, a university degree or a vocational traineeship? Don't miss our journalists' daily news roundup from Germany Sign up The numbers Last year 335,000 university graduates were unemployed in Germany, according to figures from the Federal Employment Agency. That's a sharp increase compared to 2024 (up by 46,000) and represents a new peak in the unemployment rate among university graduates, at 3.3 percent. Germany's overall unemployment rate was higher, at about 6.3 percent in 2025. But in recent years unemployment has grown faster among university graduates. Before the Covid pandemic, unemployment among graduates stood at 2.1 percent – meaning that it's jumped by 57 percent in just a few years. The last time unemployment rate for graduates in Germany was above three percent was in 2007. READ ALSO: Why launching a career is getting harder in Germany This comes while the number of students is rising and the number of trainees is declining. In 2014, there were 2.7 million students and 1.43 million trainees, according to a report by Tagesschau. Ten years later, there were 2.9 million students and only 1.21 million trainees. The context "In recent years we have seen that even academics are no longer immune to the [jobs] crisis," labour market researcher Enzo Weber told ARD. People with degrees are still more likely to be employed than those without one, but it no longer comes with the kind-of employment guarantee that it used to. Contributing to this is the fact that the number of students in Germany has been growing for decades, and also that AI is increasingly being used in workplaces – especially for tasks that would have previously been done by entry-level workers. Advertisement At the same time, many of the jobs that are lacking workers are those that in Germany require a vocational traineeship e.g. electrician, professional driver or nurse. Shortages of workers in these so-called bottleneck occupations are projected to intensify in the coming years as the baby boomer generation retires. According to the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), roughly 25 percent of employees across all of these professions are 55 years or older. For bus and tram drivers, this figure is 44 percent, and the situation is similar in other skilled trades and care professions. This is bad news for Germany at large, but represents an opportunity for young people considering their career choices. Put simply, completing a traineeship in any of Germany's bottleneck occupations would likely lead to plentiful job offers. Who makes more? Currently, university graduates tend to earn more in terms of average monthly salaries. According to Destatis, the average gross monthly salary for a master's graduate is €7,019. A master craftsman, on the other hand, earns an average gross monthly salary of €5,405. But today's salaries are not necessarily an indicator of tomorrow's pay rates. Especially considering that workers in shortage occupations might have more leverage in salary negotiations going forward. Another factor to consider is that vocational trainees tend to start earning a wage well before their counterparts in university programmes. In many roles trainees begin earning a salary even during their apprenticeship, whereas a student aiming for a degree in the same field would need three years for a bachelor's degree and then a master's programme before entering the workforce. Starting to earn income from a younger age can give apprentices a significant financial boost. Ultimately, of course, income depends mainly on which field or role a student pursues. And here, the old rules still generally apply: work in the humanities tends to pay less compared to doctors, lawyers or engineers. Advertisement The dual study option A third option for young professionals in Germany is a dual study programme, which typically combines practical experience at a company alongside theoretical study at a university. These programmes allow students to earn both a vocational qualification and a bachelor's degree simultaneously, and sometimes allow students to earn stipends of around €1,000 to €1,600 per month. READ ALSO: 'Germany is 40 years behind' - Foreigners share their struggle getting qualifications recognised In some cases the company itself covers tuition fees and may offer a permanent job directly after graduation. For these reasons dual study is becoming increasingly popular, and the number of programmes has rapidly increased in recent years. As for which option is the better choice; it really depends on which career a young professional wants to pursue. Experts like Weber suggest that success usually requires having both specialist knowledge and practical experience, and increasingly it helps to know how to use AI and digital tools as well. Whether it makes more sense to gain those skills and experience at a university or in a training programme depends on the person and their job of choice.

Downloads need CPython on Linux or macOS: files are written with directory-relative, no-follow operations so nothing can be redirected outside dest_dir , and on platforms without them (Windows) download_l2 refuses to run rather than fall back to weaker path checks. cf = CandleFeed ( api_key = "cf_live_..." ) out = cf . download_l2 ( "book" , "BTCUSDT" , "2026-09-01" , "2026-09-30" , "data/" ) # data/book/binance/BTCUSDT/2026-09-01/depth/00.parquet ... depth/23.parquet, snapshot.parquet, manifest.json print ( len ( out [ "downloaded" ]), "files," , out [ "bytes" ] / 1e9 , "GB" ) print ( out [ "missing" ]) # days not available, each with a reason cf.l2_files(dataset, symbol, start, end) returns the listing itself: per day the files (name, size, sha256, a download link valid for 15 minutes) and a QC summary from that day's manifest. Pro and Enterprise get every day. Other plans get the 1st of each month, up to 10 GiB of new files per account per month; downloading the same file again that month doesn't count twice. When an allowance runs out the client raises QuotaExceededError straight away instead of retrying. cf.l2_coverage() and cf.l2_gaps() return the public coverage table and gap log (no plan needed). A few sample days can be downloaded without an account (version 0.3.2 or later), with the same checks: from candlefeed import CandleFeed public = CandleFeed ( public = True ) # never sends a key print ( public . l2_sample ()[ "samples" ]) # the days on offer public . download_l2_sample ( "BTCUSDT" , "2026-10-01" , "data/" ) Rebuilding the book candlefeed.l2book turns a downloaded book day into an order book you can query. It needs pyarrow: pip install "candlefeed[l2]" from candlefeed.l2book import L2Book book = L2Book . load ( "data/" , "BTCUSDT" , "2026-09-01" ) # one day, or pass an end date for a range view = book . book_at ( "2026-09-01T13:05:00Z" , levels = 10 ) # top 10 a side after every event up to then print ( view . best_bid , view . best_ask , view . spread_bps ) print ( view . bids . head ()) # price, qty, best first spreads = book . spread_series ( "1s" ) # bid, ask, mid, spread, spread_bps depth = book . depth_at ( "2026-09-01T13:05:00Z" , bps = [ 10 , 50 ]) # base and quote size within 10 and 50 bps of mid for v in book . iterate ( "2026-09-01T13:00Z" , "2026-09-01T14:00Z" , every = "1min" ): ... It applies the published rule: anchor on a snapshot that isn't in_gap , apply the first event with u >= lastUpdateId whole even when the snapshot's id falls inside it (the straddle case: 848 of the 861 BTCUSDT snapshots on 25 September 2026), and drop the book at every break in the update chain until a snapshot anchors it again. Moments with no trustworthy book raise BookUnavailable in book_at and come back as NaN in spread_series . book.segments() lists the unbroken stretches of the day and when each was anchored. Each query anchors on the latest snapshot at or before it, so results don't depend on where you start reading. A 10-million-row synthetic day loads in under a second and gives a one-second spread series for the full day in about 4 seconds on an M-series Mac; a BTC day has about 100 million rows. Real-day runtime and peak memory have not been validated; synthetic timings are not production benchmarks. Depth outside the anchor snapshot's known price window is partial. Report completeness per band and exclude incomplete samples from full-depth statistics. depth_at and spread_series(depth_bps=...) carry a *_complete flag per band, and book_at returns only levels inside the window ( bids_complete / asks_complete say when that's fewer than asked for; an empty side has no best price). Days are checked against their manifest before use, so an incomplete or mixed download raises IncompleteDay , and a moment after the last loaded event raises BookUnavailable . row_cache_bytes (default 2 GiB) limits the decoded diff rows kept between queries, and an hour file that wouldn't fit in it is refused. It isn't a bound on the rebuild's total memory: the event index (about 80 bytes per diff event, roughly 70 MB for a BTCUSDT day), the decoded snapshots, Arrow's read buffers and any series you build come on top. Hard per-file caps are checked from each footer before decoding: snapshot files at 2 million rows and 512 MiB decoded, hour files at 2 GiB decoded, footers at 64 MB, with column types validated and strings read as dictionaries. The manifest has to be the one for that exchange, symbol, date and generation, every file has to sit under its full published key, and each file's rows have to carry the requested symbol. The SHA-256 checks prove the files are consistent with what CandleFeed published for that day. They aren't a signature: hashes delivered by the same service as the files can't detect that service itself being compromised or malicious. Error handling Every API error maps to a typed exception carrying the API code and message : from candlefeed import ( CandleFeed , AuthenticationError , TierRestrictedError , InvalidParameterError , RateLimitError , ) cf = CandleFeed ( api_key = "cf_live_..." ) try : df = cf . get_options ( currency = "BTC" ) except TierRestrictedError as e : print ( e . message ) # "...requires the Advanced plan or higher...

The October 5 filing brings BitGo Bank & Trust on board as an additional custodian for the HYPE tokens held by Grayscale's HYPG fund. Grayscale has filed a Form 8-K with the SEC covering its Hyperliquid Staking ETF, which trades under the ticker HYPG. The filing, dated October 5, 2026, reports that BitGo Bank & Trust has been added as an additional custodian for the fund’s HYPE holdings, effective September 30, 2026. What the filing changes An 8-K is the SEC form companies use to flag material events between their regular quarterly and annual reports. Grayscale’s filing reports an amendment that lets BitGo hold part of the trust’s HYPE alongside the fund’s existing custody setup. As of October 5, 2026, HYPG held approximately $217.8 million in assets under management, with 6.54 million shares outstanding. HYPG charges a management fee of 0.29%. That was the lowest among US HYPE exchange-traded products when the fund launched. Advertisement Approximately 88.66% of the fund’s assets are staked, generating average gross staking rewards of 2.26%. Once fees come out, the yield investors actually pocket typically lands below that figure. A short but busy history HYPG has not existed for long, yet it has already changed names once. The fund started life as the Grayscale HYPE ETF before being renamed on May 26, 2026, a move intended to tie it more closely to Hyperliquid’s core branding.

Unsubscribe anytime. The SEC declared the fund effective on June 2, 2026. Trading on Nasdaq began the following day, June 3. Structurally, HYPG is a grantor trust. Investors hold an interest in the underlying assets the trust owns, rather than shares in an operating company that happens to own tokens. The asset at the center of all this is HYPE, the native token of the Hyperliquid network. HYPE has a maximum supply of 1 billion tokens. The token entered the world through a community airdrop in November 2024. The competitive field Grayscale is not alone in this lane. 21Shares and Bitwise both launched their own HYPE products in mid-May 2026, trading as THYP and BHYP, respectively. Both rivals charge 0.30%. Grayscale undercut them by a single basis point. What this means for investors and issuers Spreading a fund’s holdings across more than one custodian can reduce reliance on any single provider, which matters for a product whose entire value sits in one token. Staked tokens are actively used to support a network, so the custodian handling them needs to manage both safekeeping and participation in network operations. HYPG’s staking ratio of roughly 88.66% means nearly nine out of every ten tokens the fund holds are earning rewards. A lower staking ratio would mean more idle tokens, while a higher one could limit how much liquidity the fund keeps on hand for redemptions. HYPE’s price can swing sharply, and a gross reward rate of 2.26% offers little cushion against a meaningful drop in the token’s value. Net returns also depend on network reward rates and how the Hyperliquid ecosystem evolves. Staking rewards are historical figures, not guarantees.

The video-generation spinoff is reportedly targeting an early 2027 listing after raising approximately $2.8 billion at an $18 billion valuation Kuaishou Technology’s AI video unit wants its own ticker. Kling AI plans a Hong Kong initial public offering that would raise at least $1 billion. Reports from October 6, 2026, indicate the unit has brought on CICC, Goldman Sachs and UBS as underwriters. The target is an early 2027 listing. For a business that only launched in 2024, that is a fast trip from product demo to public markets. The deal on the table The IPO would carve Kling AI out of its parent, Kuaishou Technology, which trades in Hong Kong under the ticker 1024. Kling is also known as Keling AI, or 可灵AI in Chinese. The listing comes on the heels of a large private round. In July 2026, Kling AI raised approximately $2.8 billion, with the round capped at $3 billion. That financing reportedly valued the unit at around $18 billion post-money. Advertisement Tencent, Alibaba and Baidu all participated in the round. Kuaishou’s ownership is expected to shrink as a result. The parent’s stake in Kling is anticipated to be diluted to about 68%. The numbers behind the pitch In the second quarter of 2026, the unit’s revenue topped RMB 850 million. That reflects growth of more than 200% year on year. AI, tech, and the markets they move—in one daily briefing. Daily. Free. Join 34,000+ readers across crypto, finance, and policy. Email address Subscribe free We respect your privacy. Unsubscribe anytime. Kling’s ARR reached roughly $500 million by March 2026. That was up from about $240 million in December 2025. On September 28, 2026, Kling unveiled Kling 4.0. The update supports video clips of up to 30 seconds, adds enhanced controls, and accepts multiple reference inputs. Kling 4.0 is positioned against ByteDance’s Seedance, another Chinese AI video tool. How Kuaishou got here In May 2026, Kuaishou filed a restructuring plan that consolidated Kling’s assets into an entity called Beijing Keling. That restructuring came with investor protections tied to a future listing. If Kling does not go public by October 30, 2031, investors hold repurchase rights. What this means For Kuaishou shareholders, the spinoff is a way to put a visible price on an asset that has been buried inside a larger company. A standalone listing gives the market a direct read on what Kling is worth, since Kuaishou is expected to keep about 68% of the unit. An $18 billion private valuation sits at many multiples of a roughly $500 million revenue run rate. Public market buyers will need to believe the 200%-plus growth pace can hold, at least for a while. Seeking at least $1 billion against an $18 billion valuation means the IPO would float a relatively modest slice of the company. The presence of Tencent, Alibaba and Baidu means Kling’s biggest shareholders include companies with their own AI ambitions, which could complicate strategic decisions down the road.

The prediction market is retiring the Gnosis framework it has relied on since 2019 in favor of a unified, modular, audited system Polymarket has begun rolling out Protocol V2, a rebuild of its prediction market infrastructure designed to replace the collection of smart contracts and adapters that underpin its current system. The new architecture uses a single ERC-1155 positions contract, one collateral asset called pUSD, one exchange supporting multiple market types and a unified router. Polymarket said its existing infrastructure was built around Gnosis’ Conditional Tokens Framework from 2019, forcing the platform to add separate contracts and adapters as it introduced new products. Protocol V2 is intended to consolidate those components and make future upgrades easier. The system initially supports binary markets, Atomic Neg-risk, Incremental Neg-risk and combinatorial markets. Position IDs encode the market type, market and outcome directly, allowing the protocol to identify a position without relying on additional contracts. Advertisement Resolution is also being redesigned through a new OracleAggregator that can connect to multiple oracle providers, including UMA and Chainlink, while leaving room for additional sources in the future. Protocol V2 also introduces native support for eventually bridging positions, collateral and market resolutions across networks. Polymarket said those capabilities are intended to support a future multichain expansion but will not be activated immediately. The news moving money, markets, and the world—before your day starts.

Unlike the current contracts, the new system is upgradeable through a governance process, allowing Polymarket to add features without requiring users and integrators to migrate to entirely new contracts each time. The company said the architecture also lays the groundwork for features currently in development, including scalar resolution and directional collateral return. Polymarket plans to run several canary markets using Protocol V2 from Oct. 5 through Oct. 30. The platform is tentatively targeting Nov. 2 to begin routing newly created markets through the new protocol. Alongside the smart contract upgrade, Polymarket is launching Data API V2, a Rust-based service powered by its internal onchain indexer. The new API supports Protocol V2, standardizes response formats and adds cursor-based pagination for trade and activity feeds. Polymarket said Protocol V2 has been audited by Cantina, Certora, Quantstamp, Sigma Prime, Zellic and Pashov, while Certora also formally verified the code. The protocol carries a bug bounty of up to $5 million for critical vulnerabilities.
