my entire monthly pay from x is less than what polymarket’s referral program makes in a day lmao
forget the polymarket airdrop for a second look at this polymarket just launched a revenue sharing program 20-25% commission on prediction market fees and 30-40% on perps if you manage to refer 4 serious traders generating $5k each in fees every month = $20k in total fees at 25% commission, that’s $5k in earnings every month as long as they keep trading definitely a big opportunity

POLYMARKET AFFILIATES JUST HIT A NEW LEVEL 🚨 u can now earn revenue share from predictions too not gonna share my numbers, but someone literally told me to start shopping for a Lambo 💀 if u still don't have an affiliate deal, DM me and i'll get u onboarded this is getting crazy
Polymarket affiliates now earn Revenue share on Predictions. 20%+ of the fees your referrals pay on Predictions and Perps. No cap per referral. Biggest upgrade our affiliate program has ever had. Everyone now can earn from the biggest prediction market without limits. My calculations show increase of average affiliate income from 2 to 7x, some even 10x. No better time to join us.

This is total nonsense. We're one of the largest early investors in Polymarket, and this story that Shayne was "caught red-handed" using company money is just a flat out garbage hit piece. Shayne wasn't taking a salary. He was 21 when he started Polymarket, he was living hand-to-mouth running the company out of his apartment, barely making ends meet when he was raising his seed round. We were his first term sheet and literally offered to loan him money personally, but he ended up not needing it when the seed round came together. After COVID and the crazy Biden-era crackdown on crypto that was happening at the time, there was a lot of chaos in almost every company in the industry. As an investor, we saw a lot of companies go through pandemic-era startup craziness, and Polymarket was no exception. But Shayne disclosed every dollar he spent, which turned out to annualize to about a software engineer's salary. That's including the flights, none of which were personal flights. Plus, SHAYNE STARTED the accounting and payback process, no one “found” it. In aggregate, it was nothing that an investor would balk at. He paid it back to the company in full, and then got on a normal salary like everyone else. It was an accounting problem, not an integrity problem. It was not a big deal. Polymarket has had growing pains, no doubt. It went from a small fledging startups to one of the most explosive consumer brands in America. But Shayne has leveled up alongside the company, and as investors we have total confidence in him. Enough of this stupid FUD. The end.
🚨 BREAKING : Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan caught using COMPANY MONEY for Private Jets flights. Peter Thiel caught him red-handed using his investment money as a personal wallet. Founders Fund, Peter Thiel's fund, discovered that Shayne had charged the following as company expenses : - private jet flights - apartment rent - designer clothes They immediately demanded a FULL REFUND Shayne was forced to reimburse the money. ICE and Founders Fund then teamed up to push for stronger financial controls They were the one that forced Shayne to appoint a COO. You remember Shayne's ChatGPT written tweet gleefully announcing the hiring of Collin McKinney Hill as COO ? I called it extremely suspicious at the time. Turns out i was right, investors basically forced Shayne to hire him as a soft coup. I don't know how long Shayne can stay in place when their main investors have lost confidence.

Super excited to announce that Lisa Mantil has joined Polymarket to grow our Institutional business. Polymarket is only the second job of Lisa's career. She spent 27 years at @GoldmanSachs rising through the ranks to Partner, where her specialty was understanding what institutional clients needed and building the financial products to deliver it. That's the sauce she's bringing to Polymarket, and we're grateful to have her. If you're interested in taking large size in any event contract relevant to your business or portfolio, DM me or email institutional@polymarket.com. Thank you to Cyril and @DavidSolomon for the intro and recommendation. Onwards.

Graph below is taker volume (NOT notional volume) for recent midweek NFL games at Kalshi/Poly (US + defi). Not a huge gap! A lot of the gap we are seeing between Kalshi and Poly/the field at the top line for sports is increasingly from combos.
