Polymarket airdrop speculation is ramping up after a screenshot emerged of a Polymarket team member saying that a Polymarket Layer 2 network is the prediction market’s “#1 priority.”
Polymarket just recorded its three highest-volume days since the U.S. presidential election in November 2024, with $91.7 million in trading volume on Dec. 19 and $92.7 million on Dec. 20. On Dec. 21, Polymarket processed $85.6 million, just above its most recent daily high of $85.07 million on Nov. 9, according to DeFiLlama.

The widely shared screenshot features Polymarket developer Mustafa Aljatery responding to a user who asked, “When will our own L2 launch?” following stability issues with the platform’s host chain, Polygon, over the last week.
In the screenshot, Aljatery says, “very soon, after all these outages, it’s #1 priority.”
The Defiant reached out to Aljatery to confirm the validity of the screenshot, but has not received a response as of press time.
A Polymarket user named PredictTrader first broke the news on X, to which Polygon’s head of Ecosystem BD India replied and said, “One thing you need to learn is that when you run the entire stack, you become the single point of failure…running infrastructure vs application is a completely different game. When you build the chain, one of the biggest thing[s] is then you are not focused towards applications but on the chain stack. It seems easy, but for every chain that has succeeded, there are a 1000 who couldn’t make it and died.”
