Smart Money
A curated leaderboard of the best wallets on Polymarket — ranked by realistic edge, not just a lifetime P&L number that one whale-sized lucky trade could create.
How wallets get scored
Smart Money is a fresh-data pipeline that scans the universe (≈790k wallets) and shortlists ≈600 traders that actually earn their P&L. The rank blends:
- Equity-curve quality — drawdown depth, recovery speed, slope consistency.
- Recency — recent activity weighs more than a lucky run from a year ago.
- Trade count & market spread — many trades across many markets > one huge win.
- Copy-sim feasibility— a badge showing whether the wallet's strategy actually copies cleanly under realistic slippage. A wallet that only trades the inside of the spread won't fill for you the same way.
Archetypes
Each shortlisted wallet gets a behavioral tag that summarizes how it trades:
| QUANT | High-frequency, narrow-edge, many small trades — algorithmic feel. |
| WHALE | Large size, fewer trades, moves the book. |
| SNIPER | Picks rare high-conviction moments; long flat periods between hits. |
| SCALPER | In-and-out within minutes, tight risk. |
| SWING | Holds positions across rounds and days. |
| NEW | Insufficient history yet — keep watching. |

Copy simulator
Each Smart Money wallet has a copy-sim ROIbadge: a trade-by-trade replay of its fills against realistic slippage. This is different from raw P&L — raw P&L is what the wallet made for itself; copy-sim is what you'd have made copying it.
Slippage decides everything. A wallet that always gets the best price on a thin book can show a fantastic raw P&L while being uncopyable in practice; the simulator catches that gap. Rank by copy-sim ROI, not lifetime P&L, when you're looking for a wallet to actually mirror.
