Polymarket placed its exchange in cancel-only mode and paused relayer actions while investigating an outage. Users could cancel orders, but no new orders or trades were processing. The company later identified the cause as a compromise of one of its third-party providers affecting its international platform, and said it referred the matter to relevant law enforcement. A fix was deployed, with trading expected to resume at approximately 3pm ET, and the platform subsequently confirmed the issue was fixed. The incident was resolved through a series of status updates posted on X.
