Market-listing governance threshold
Polymarket's assessment for RD-F-072 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Market listing is fully curated by the Polymarket markets team. Users may propose markets via Twitter/X; the team reviews and approves. No permissionless listing by external operators. This eliminates the permissionless-listing attack surface (the primary risk this factor targets). The absence of external operator listing rights means no malicious market can be inserted without team approval. Centralized curation introduces Polymarket Inc. counterparty risk (team can delist or refuse to list), but this is a governance/admin risk (Cat 2), not a Cat 4 economic risk.
