If you publish promotional content about @Polymarket, please consider attaching a disclosure to avoid misleading your audience about the platform's gambling-like nature.
Example disclosure:
Polymarket can rewrite market rules after the event has happened, affecting which side wins.
When outcomes are contested, the decision is made by anonymous third-party voters who often hold positions in those markets and have direct financial incentive to influence the result.
Earnings shown in promotional materials are advertising. The vast majority of users lose money over time.

We've launched Risk metrics in DefiLlama!
The best metrics come with real money on the line, so we devised a new one: how much $ would be lost across lending markets if a token got hacked
This aggregates trust and willingness to extend credit to a token across risk managers
