Relayer API: POST /submit returns immediately without transactionHash
  • Faster POST /submit responses: The Relayer’s POST /submit endpoint now returns immediately with just { transactionID, state: "STATE_NEW" }. The transactionHash field has been removed from the submit response to improve performance.
  • How to get the hash: Poll GET /transaction with the returned transactionID to retrieve the onchain transactionHash once the transaction has been broadcast.

CLOB V2: upgrades go live April 28 at ~11:00 UTC, with ~1 hour of downtime
Polymarket is shipping a coordinated upgrade: new Exchange contracts, a rewritten CLOB backend, and a new collateral token (pUSD).Exchange upgrades go live April 28, 2026 at ~11:00 UTC with ~1 hour of downtime. All integrations must migrate to the V2 SDK before the cutover — there will be no backward compatibility after go-live.Full walkthrough: Migrating to CLOB V2. Follow Discord, Telegram, and status.polymarket.com for the exact start time.Test against V2 now: point your client at https://clob-v2.polymarket.com. On April 28, V2 takes over https://api.copilot.markets/clob, so no base-URL change is needed after the cutover.What’s changing
  • New Exchange contracts (CTF Exchange V2 + Neg Risk CTF Exchange V2)
  • pUSD replaces USDC.e as the collateral token (standard ERC-20 on Polygon, backed by USDC, backing enforced onchain)
  • Order struct: nonce, feeRateBps, taker removed — timestamp (ms), metadata, builder added
  • Fees are now set at match time — no more feeRateBps on orders
  • Builder attribution is native via builderCode on orders (no more builder-signing-sdk)
  • EIP-712 Exchange domain version bumps from "1" to "2" (ClobAuth stays at "1")
What you need to do
  • Install the V2 SDK — @polymarket/clob-client-v2 or py-clob-client-v2 — and remove the legacy clob-client / py-clob-client packages
  • Update constructor from positional args to options object; rename chainIdchain
  • Remove feeRateBps, nonce, and taker from your order creation code
  • If you’re a builder, copy your code from Settings → Builder and attach it to orders
  • If you sign orders without the SDK, update the verifyingContract and the signed Order fields — see For API users
  • Plan for all open orders to be wiped at cutover
During the window: Trading will be paused for ~1 hour on April 28 starting around 11:00 UTC. The SDK’s hot-swap mechanism will auto-refresh the client when V2 goes live — no manual action needed if you’re on the latest SDK.

New keyset pagination endpoints for markets and events
  • New endpoints: Added GET /markets/keyset and GET /events/keyset for cursor-based pagination, replacing offset-based GET /markets and GET /events.
  • How it works: These use an opaque after_cursor/next_cursor token instead of offset, providing stable and efficient paging through large result sets. Same filters, same response shape per item — the only differences are the wrapper response ({ "markets": [...], "next_cursor": "..." }) and the rejection of offset.
  • Migration: The existing GET /markets and GET /events endpoints remain available but will be deprecated in a future release. New integrations should use the keyset variants.

We’re excited to introduce a new order type soon to be available to all users: Fill and Kill (FAK). FAK orders behave similarly to the well-known Fill or Kill (FOK) orders, but with a key difference:
  • FAK will fill as many shares as possible immediately at your specified price, and any remaining unfilled portion will be canceled.
  • Unlike FOK, which requires the entire order to fill instantly or be canceled, FAK is more flexible and aims to capture partial fills if possible.
