Polymarket whale trackers: how they find you

A Polymarket whale tracker is a bot or dashboard that watches every Polymarket market for large positions and posts them the moment they open: the market, the side, the size in dollars and the wallet address behind the trade. Telegram bots, X accounts and analytics dashboards all run whale trackers on the same public Polymarket data, so any account that trades in size ends up on someone’s alert feed.

How does a Polymarket whale tracker work?

A Polymarket whale tracker is a program that reads the same public data Polymarket’s profile pages show. According to Polymarket’s documentation, public endpoints return every trade and every position per wallet address, with no login and no permission step. The tracker polls those endpoints, applies a size threshold, and posts whatever crosses it. Thresholds vary: some X accounts post only positions above $100,000, while Telegram bots sold to retail traders alert on a few hundred dollars in a quiet market. Because the data is public by design, no setting on Polymarket removes an address from a tracker, and a tracker that follows one specific address sees every trade that address makes for as long as the address exists.

What happens to a flagged Polymarket wallet?

A flagged Polymarket wallet is a wallet that gets followed. First, readers open the wallet’s profile, study its history and watch its next moves. Second, if the position sits on a political or news market, journalists ask who placed it, and the address becomes a character in a story. Third, anyone who can tie the address to a name finishes that story for the crowd: a Polymarket username that matches a social handle, a deposit from an exchange account in a real name, or a screenshot shared after a win is enough. From then on, every later position the wallet opens arrives in the feed of everyone who saved the address, and the record is read as a record about a person rather than about an address.

How do you stay off the whale alerts?

A whale tracker is limited to positions that are publicly linked to an account. On OffMarket, positions are not publicly linked to the trader’s account, so there is nothing for a tracker to attach to the trader: no position to post, no history to study and no feed to subscribe to. The trader uses the same Polymarket markets at the same odds, and a large position on OffMarket does not come with a public address for the crowd to follow.

1. Sign in to OffMarket with Google or connect a crypto wallet.
