How Wallet Leaderboards Help Spot Smart Money

Use wallet PnL, win rate, position history, and recent activity to build a more disciplined Polymarket research workflow.

A leaderboard is a starting point, not a copy button

High PnL can point you toward skilled traders, but it can also reflect one lucky event or hidden risk. The useful workflow is to combine ranking with history, exposure, and recent position changes.

1. Compare PnL with win rate

A wallet with steady performance across many markets is different from a wallet dominated by one large outcome. Use win rate, ROI, and realized PnL together.

2. Watch recent changes

Whale-feed changes can reveal when a previously quiet wallet enters a market, adds size, or exits before resolution.

3. Export before reporting

CSV exports make it easier to review wallet history and PnL outside the dashboard. Treat exports as informational and verify them before using them for tax or accounting workflows.
