<p>Managed Optimistic Oracle V2 (MOOV2) by <a href="https://lightspark.com/glossary/uma" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">UMA</a> restricts proposal submissions to <strong>37 whitelisted addresses</strong>. The change aims to enhance accuracy and reduce disputes in DeFi prediction platforms like Polymarket.</p>
<p>Involving <strong>Risk Labs</strong> and Polymarket staff, this measure responds to past inaccuracies.

<p>Previous UMA models allowed broader proposal input, leading to <strong>inaccurate and premature actions</strong>. This mirrors earlier <strong>DeFi approaches</strong> like MakerDAO and Synthetix, emphasizing trusted sources over open processes.</p>
<p>Industry expert analysis suggests that while <strong>market integrity may improve</strong>, careful monitoring of centralization effects is necessary. Ongoing developments, like UMA’s <a href="https://blog.uma.xyz/articles/experiment-can-ai-agents-enhance-uma-oracle" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">AI experiments</a>, highlight a trend towards automating proposer roles.</p>
