In a rare move in the DeFi world, Polymarket has challenged decentralized oracle service UMA over the settlement of a betting market on whether Barron Trump is involved in the DJT token. 😮
UMA unraveled a market question about whether Barron Trump was involved with the meme coin called DJT and decided the answer was "no." "Yes" shareholders protested. Polymarket said it thought UMA was wrong and would announce a correction soon. 😂
DJT is a Trump-themed memecoin that neither the Trump campaign nor Barron's have admitted or denied involvement with. 🤷♂️
When the outcome of a prediction market is disputed, UMA, a decentralized “optimistic” oracle, resolves the issue by having UMA token holders vote on the outcome. In the case of the DJT market, the overwhelming majority of UMA holders voted for the "no" solution. 🗳️
This is not the first time UMA has faced controversy as a method of contract resolution. Last fall, questions arose about the "finding" of the OceanGate submarine that exploded near the Titanic wreckage, revealing its relationship with Polymarket. 🚢
