Augur is a decentralized prediction market built on Ethereum, relying on its own oracle system for dispute resolution. Polymarket is a more user-friendly, order-book-based prediction market that uses a centralized oracle (UMB) for faster settlement. Augur suits users who prioritize full decentralization and censorship resistance, while Polymarket is better for traders seeking a smooth, accessible experience.
