According to BlockBeats, on August 31, the prediction market platform Polymarket experienced a major outage. The official status page indicates that the Trading API (CLOB) experienced an "open order read response delay" issue starting around 6:30 UTC, and trading was completely suspended.
The website is accessible and market data can be viewed, but users are unable to place orders. The official statement indicates that a fix is in progress, with trading expected to resume by 10:00 UTC at the latest. Before resumption, the site will enter a 15-minute order cancellation-only mode. Other systems (website, data, authentication, etc.) are functioning normally.
