Data Sources
Polyanna is built from public Polymarket trading activity plus official market metadata. This page explains exactly what is covered and where it comes from.
Primary Sources#
- Polymarket filled orders — public filled orders from Polymarket's CLOB history on the Polygon blockchain
- Polygon RPC — used to keep newly indexed filled orders current
- Polymarket market metadata — used to enrich filled orders with market titles, slugs, tags, outcomes, and event metadata
- Polyanna analytics — computes leaderboard ranks, trader summaries, PnL series, and platform metrics from indexed filled order history
What Is Included#
Polyanna indexes filled trades on Polymarket and turns them into trader- and platform-level analytics. That includes:
- leaderboard eligibility and ranking inputs
- trader summary metrics such as PnL, win rate, volume, and trade count
- PnL time series and drawdown-related statistics
- market-level context used by trader profile analysis
What Is Excluded#
- unfilled limit orders that never matched
- off-chain order-book intent that never settled on-chain
- private user data or identity data outside what wallets publish publicly
- canonical raw position history pages that Polymarket already provides
Freshness#
Polyanna covers filled orders from Polymarket's CLOB history and keeps newly indexed filled orders current through Polygon RPC. Analytics can lag the latest on-chain activity while market context is resolved and platform metrics refresh.
Whale Radar is derived from newly indexed filled orders. Free and anonymous API callers receive delayed, redacted whale alerts; Pro callers receive trader identity, filters, and saved alert configuration. The public Notable moves section is curated from historical alerts and still served through the same wallet-safe payload shape.
Smart-Money Signals is generated from indexed filled orders and market metadata. Anonymous and free API callers receive category concentration, trader-group size, a wallet-safe highlight, and teaser market rows. Pro callers receive full opportunity rows with divergence, total position size, market price, and trader entries.
Practical Limitations#
Polyanna is only as complete as the public filled order history and official metadata available to it.
Wallet Opt-Out Requests#
Polyanna surfaces public on-chain activity from Polymarket. If you operate a wallet you would like excluded from public leaderboards, the Whale Radar, or Smart-Money Signals, email [email protected] with proof of control. We review requests case-by-case.
