What this whale feed shows
Prediction markets concentrate attention when large capital moves. Polydata's whale feed lists individual fills whose notional USD meets your threshold — not aggregated wallet rankings and not copy-trade alerts. Side labels reflect the indexed participation direction (buy/sell); size is notional at the print, not realized PnL.
Use the feed as a research tape: spot which markets attract size, which wallets print repeatedly, and whether flow looks one-sided in the last hour versus the full day. Pair prints with trader history before drawing conclusions — a single large fill can be a hedge, market-making, or noise.
How to read the tape
- Start at $5k for breadth, then raise the filter ($5k, $10k, $25k, $50k, $100k, $250k, $1M) when you only care about true size.
- Prefer the 1h column for fresh flow; use 24h or 7d when you want more context. Filter by buy/sell or search market/wallet on the loaded page.
- Pair size with market movers (largest odds shifts) and save wallets to your research watchlist.
- Click a wallet for PnL and Smart Score; click a market for condition-level overview and related flow.
- Cross-check platform heat on PMX (whale intensity sub-index) and absolute scale on State of Polymarket.
- For calibration on resolved books — not live size — use the oracle leaderboard.
Coverage and limits
Rows come from Polydata's on-chain participation index and can lag the Polymarket UI by a short interval. Auto-refresh runs about every 30 seconds while the tab stays open. Protocol / non-trader addresses may be filtered; username display depends on profile sync. Thresholds are per-fill notional, so a wallet can appear many times without being a “top lifetime whale.”
Wallet cash-flow PnL and Smart Score methodology are documented on methodology. Compare wallets side-by-side on Compare Wallets. Polydata never executes trades — the feed is for investigation only, not a recommendation to follow any print.
