Whale Tracker

The Whale Tracker monitors large Polymarket positions in real-time, helping you see where smart money is flowing.

What It Tracks

Glint monitors all Polymarket trades above $10,000 and surfaces them in a dedicated feed. Each whale trade shows:

  • Market — Which Polymarket contract the trade is on

  • Side — BUY or SELL (color-coded green/red)

  • Amount — Position size in USD

  • Wallet address — Truncated address of the trader

  • Account age — How old the wallet is

  • NEW badge — Flagged when the wallet is less than 7 days old

Why Account Age Matters

Fresh wallets placing large bets are one of the strongest signals in prediction markets. When a brand-new account drops $50K+ on a specific outcome, it often means someone has inside information and created a new wallet to act on it.

Glint uses two badges to flag notable traders:

  • NEW (red) — Account is less than 7 days old. High signal value.

  • WHALE (blue) — Trader has all-time PnL over $10K, or the individual trade is $100K+. Experienced large player.

Whale Trade Patterns

Some patterns to watch for:

  • Cluster buying — Multiple large wallets buying the same side within a short window. Often precedes major price movement.

  • Fresh wallet + large position — New accounts placing big bets. High signal value.

  • Whale sells against trend — When a large holder sells into a rising market, it could indicate the move is overextended.

  • Size relative to market — A $50K trade on a $5M market is noise. The same trade on a $200K market is massive.

Limitations

  • Whale tracking only covers Polymarket at this time. Kalshi support is on the roadmap.

  • Not all large trades are informed — some are hedges, market-making, or position rebalancing.

  • Account age is based on first on-chain activity, not necessarily when the account was created.
