On June 4, 2026, @SendMyBags opened a slash against @Polymarket’s onchain reputation on Ethos, seeking to cut 204 credibility score. The slash is titled “Polymarket’s Rule-Rug: Retroactive Changes Destroy Trust.”
Ethos’s announcement noted that this “would be their THIRD successful slash.” It also matters to more than Polymarket. 425 users have vouched for Polymarket’s reputation, and together they could lose more than 9,000 credibility score.
What the slash alleges
The title states the complaint. SendMyBags accuses Polymarket of a “rule-rug,” changing rules retroactively, and argues that this kind of change destroys trust. The full case, as submitted, is on the slash’s page on Ethos:
Polymarket’s Rule-Rug: Retroactive Changes Destroy Trust
Why vouchers have something at stake
On Ethos, every account’s credibility score is built from what other people say about it, and vouching is one of the strongest ways to do that. A vouch means putting your own standing behind someone else’s.
That works in both directions. When a slash targets an account, the people who vouched for it are exposed too. In this case, Ethos counted:
- 204 credibility score sought from Polymarket
- 425 users vouching for Polymarket
- 9,000+ credibility score those vouchers could lose between them
A large brand with hundreds of vouchers isn’t shielded from accountability. Its backers share in the outcome.
What a slash records
A slash stays on the record of the account it targets, where anyone checking that account can see it. The score reflects how an account has behaved over time, not just how many people back it.
As of June 4, 2026, the slash was still open. Anyone who wants to look at the case before forming a view can read the claim and supporting details on the slash page linked above.
