#Polymarket预测市场 Polymarket's decision to build its own L2 this time is particularly noteworthy.

Honestly, the potential of the prediction market sector has been seriously underestimated. Polymarket migrating from Polygon to build its own POLY L2 may seem like a technical optimization, but it reflects a bigger signal — when an application grows to a certain scale, it needs full control over its infrastructure rather than being constrained by third parties.

This reminds me of the ultimate vision of Web3: true decentralization and autonomy. Previously, Polymarket was affected by Polygon's downtime, which is essentially the cost of entrusting your fate to others. Now, they aim to change this situation by directly embracing the Ethereum ecosystem and launching their own L2 solution.

Moreover, they are simultaneously abandoning third-party providers, which means Polymarket is building a lighter, faster, and more reliable infrastructure. The launch of the 5-minute market also indicates their determination to reduce transaction cycles and improve user experience.

Prediction markets are one of Web3's killer applications — they make information more transparent and value discovery more efficient. Once Polymarket's L2 is fully operational, the entire prediction market ecosystem's potential will further expand. This is a perfect example of decentralized applications evolving and striving for sovereignty.
