How the live leaderboard is built, what the numbers mean, and how the optional real-time alerts work.
Every number is derived from Polymarket's public on-chain data: the public leaderboard for ranked PnL and volume, and public position endpoints for win rate, wins/losses, drawdown, and open positions. No private keys, no logins, no paid APIs.
There is no official threshold. Here a whale is a top-ranked wallet by
realized PnL, or one with large volume and open-position value. Badges
flag wallets over $100k volume and top leaderboard ranks.
Use the data as research, not gospel. High historical PnL does not guarantee future results; maker fills depend on queue position and are not reproducible by buying later; a taker entry may already have moved the market. Treat every wallet as a lead to verify.
Yes — the leaderboard, win rates, and position summaries are free with no login. Optional real-time Telegram alerts for new whale trades are a paid subscription.
The optional Telegram feed pushes a notification within a few seconds of a tracked wallet's trade confirming on-chain — market, side, price, size, and a direct market link.
