Polymarket will November launch a new Rust CLOB test, with migration planned afterward
According to BlockBeats,September 28，Polymarket development lead Josh Stevens said that the team is working full-time to develop a new Rust CLOB(central limit order book) system and announced the latest migration plan for Polymarket DeFi. The existing CLOB is considered to be at the core of most current issues.
Under the plan,October will complete end-to-end execution of the full order lifecycle in a test environment, including trading, settlement, on-chain interactions, the indexer, and engine notifications;November will mirror all production traffic to the new trading cluster, compare the results with the existing system, and open test access to market makers.
In addition, the team plans to November finalize the migration cutover plan and complete full rehearsals before the official cutover. If progress goes smoothly, the new system will then be officially released.
Josh said that this migration will minimize the changes required from market makers and developers as much as possible. The request and response interfaces are expected to remain unchanged, with only some fields potentially being added and field deprecated. Any deprecation will be announced in advance.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
CLOB is a system that centrally manages buy and sell orders and matches them.Polymarket is using Rust to develop a replacement system, first testing the complete trading process, then copying production traffic to compare the results of the new and existing systems, and deciding whether to officially switch over after rehearsals.
Why it matters to readers
This system handles the trading order workflow, while the original text says that the existing CLOB is considered to be at the core of most current issues, so the new system’s test results and migration progress warrant attention.
Ordinary users do not need to take any action for now. They can monitor whether the October testing,November traffic mirroring, migration rehearsals, and official release proceed as planned.

The original text does not provide a specific date for the official cutover and release.
