Polymarket Whale Tracker β€” Live Trade Alerts, Analytics & Insider Detection

Polyloly is a real-time Polymarket whale tracker. Every whale trade above $1,000 hits our live trade alert stream within seconds of landing on-chain, and our detection engine flags volume anomalies, coordinated wallet clusters, and profitable insider wallets so you can read the prediction market the way institutional desks do. Free analytics dashboard, no signup.

πŸ‹ Real-Time Whale Trade Feed

Live stream of every Polymarket trade β‰₯ $1,000. Pagination to 1,000 trades, filter by minimum size, auto-refresh every 5 seconds, and a prominent whale alert when positions β‰₯ $50k land. Live feed β†’

🚨 Volume Anomaly Detection

Markets where the last 15 minutes of trade volume exceeded the 24-hour rolling baseline by 3Γ— or more. The earliest tell for breaking-news repricing, pre-resolution whale action, or a thin-market sweep. Unusual volume β†’

🧬 Coordinated Wallet Clusters

Louvain community detection over the last 7 days of whale trades identifies wallet groups that co-trade the same markets within 5-minute windows β€” almost always one operator behind multiple accounts. Cluster graph β†’

🎯 Insider Picks

Live feed of the markets Polymarket wallets with β‰₯75% historical win rate and sub-$0.60 average entry price have just bought into. Free signal, no signup, updated every minute. Insider picks β†’

πŸ“ˆ Alpha Cohort Heatmap

ROI grouped by entry timing Γ— market category Γ— bet size. Shows the cohorts that historically generate positive return (contrarian geopolitical) and the ones that reliably bleed (early-entry crypto). Cohort heatmap β†’

How Polyloly Works β€” From Blockchain to Dashboard

1. Collector (Fly.io, 24/7)

A Node.js WebSocket client connects to Polymarket's live trade feed and writes every trade β‰₯ $1,000 into our Neon Postgres database within seconds. A watchdog force-reconnects after 3 minutes of silence so stale feeds never mask real activity.

2. Analytics engine (Vercel)

Every 15 minutes a cron rebuilds the coordinated wallet cluster graph via Louvain community detection, computes volume anomaly z-scores, and refreshes insider-watchlist win-rate calculations. All results cache in Postgres and stale-while-revalidate at the edge.

3. AI context (Claude Haiku 4.5)

Flagged markets trigger an LLM call via Vercel AI Gateway. Claude Haiku reads the market question, current odds, recent whale flow, and 24-hour price trajectory, then writes a two-sentence explanation of what the signals say. Cached 6 hours per market.

4. Live dashboard (React)

The single-page dashboard pulls the processed feed, cluster snapshots, insider picks, and anomaly banners via read-only APIs. Auto-refreshes every 5 seconds for the trade feed, 45 seconds for anomalies, 2 minutes for cluster membership.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a Polymarket whale trade on Polyloly?

Any single trade with a notional value of $1,000 or more. Every such trade enters our database within seconds of landing on the Polymarket CLOB. Trades below $1,000 are ignored β€” they are noise for the questions Polyloly answers.

How are coordinated wallet clusters detected?

We build a weighted co-trading graph: edges connect two wallets that bought the same market on the same outcome within a 5-minute window. Pairs are kept only if they meet the threshold on at least three distinct markets and $10,000 combined value. Louvain community detection then partitions the graph. Full method in our clustering blog post.

Is Polyloly free?

Yes. All live data, cluster graphs, insider picks, cohort analyses, and the blog are free with no signup. If you want to support development you can leave a tip through the heart widget in the header β€” not required, never gated.

Is Polyloly affiliated with Polymarket?

No. Polyloly is an independent analytics service built on Polymarket's public API and on-chain trade data. We are not a broker, counterparty, or gambling operator. Links from Polyloly to the Polymarket app carry our referral code so we earn a small commission if you sign up there, which funds the analytics.

How often is the data updated?

Trade feed streams in real time, with the dashboard pulling every 5 seconds. Volume anomalies recompute every 45 seconds. Cluster snapshots rebuild every 15 minutes. AI market context refreshes every 6 hours per market or immediately on anomaly hits.

Can I use the data in my own tools?

Yes. We expose read-only JSON endpoints at /api/trades, /api/top-trades, /api/anomalies, /api/clusters, /api/insider-picks, and more. Cache headers are tuned per endpoint. Please be considerate with request volume; if you need high-rate access reach out.
