Whale Radar
Whale Radar surfaces large Polymarket filled orders from high-signal wallets. It is designed to show that meaningful flow is happening without leaking raw wallet identity to public or free clients.
What Qualifies#
A Whale Radar alert starts from a single large filled order. The scanner checks whether the maker or taker wallet is currently represented on qualifying leaderboards such as Copyable Traders or Most Consistent, applies the wallet opt-out filter, enriches the filled order with market metadata, and then stores the alert for serving, notifications, and tearsheet generation.
The alert describes the on-chain trade as a fact: market, side, direction, size, price, and time. Polyanna does not speculate about why a trader made a move.
Access Model#
- Anonymous and free users receive a delayed, capped feed with session-scoped labels such as Trader #47. The API does not send wallet addresses, transaction hashes, order hashes, usernames, or canonical image URLs in public payloads.
- Pro users receive the fastest available feed with full trader identity, cursor history, applied filters, and configurable Telegram, email, or webhook alerts. The page renders cursor history in five-alert pages instead of an infinite feed.
- API clients get the same tier-aware behavior as the owning account. Whale endpoints use private, no-store responses while labels can vary by session.
Whale Radar uses tier-aware API responses. Public and free clients only receive wallet-safe fields; Pro users receive full trader identity. Alerts require resolved market metadata, so Polyanna waits for reliable context instead of producing incomplete market alerts.
Notable Moves#
The Whale Radar page includes a Notable moves tab for historical alerts with enough size, qualifying-wallet context, and measured post-alert price movement to review. The offline curator reads the same 12-hour price snapshot cache used by analytics and only serves rows with complete 72-hour follow-through, same-size mark, and whale-side price metrics.
Notable-move API responses stay wallet-safe for public and free clients. Pro clients receive the same full trader identity they receive in the live feed. The UI avoids insider or guaranteed-profit claims; it shows the recorded alert and curator-derived metrics.
Notifications#
Pro users configure Whale Radar notifications from Account Notifications. Filters include minimum USD size, category, direction, qualifying leaderboard, and specific wallets. Delivery uses the same Telegram, email, and webhook channels as trade alerts.
