AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
Cancel-only means users can cancel existing orders, but normal trading is restricted; the suspension of relayers and the major outage in trading API indicate that some platform operations cannot currently be carried out normally. Claims regarding asset transfers and a frontend attack come from users and the community, and there is still no Polymarket disclosed cause or loss information to support them.
Why it matters to readers
Restricted trading functionality will affect user operations; meanwhile, claims of unauthorized transfers involve asset security, but still lack official confirmation.
Beginners should distinguish between official status information and user claims: cancel-only mode, relayer suspension, and the API major outage come from the official status page; the allegedly stolen amounts, attack method, and overall losses remain unconfirmed.

Whether unauthorized transfers of account assets occurred has not yet been officially confirmed.
