Question 1

What is the Polymarket leaderboard?

Accepted Answer

Polymarket publishes leaderboards of its most profitable traders, and Vultax ranks them two ways. Vi IQ, the default, takes the 500 most profitable wallets of the last 30 days that traded at least 1,000,000 shares in that time, orders them by profit, profit per share traded and the last 7 days, and lists the best 50 that are also up all-time and have a Vultax profile. All time ranks a fixed set of 80,000 Polymarket wallets by lifetime profit. Vultax is independent of Polymarket; the Official leaderboard tab shows Polymarket's own list.

Question 2

How is the Polymarket leaderboard calculated?

Accepted Answer

Polymarket's own leaderboard ranks wallets by profit or by trading volume over a day, a week, a month or all time. The All time board here uses the lifetime profit Polymarket reports for each of a fixed set of 80,000 Polymarket wallets; the Vi IQ board uses Polymarket's 30-day and 7-day figures and adds dollar profit per share traded. This ratio is not return on capital. A wallet's own page shows its win rate and when each figure was reported.

Question 3

Who is the best Polymarket trader?

Accepted Answer

By lifetime profit, Theo4 leads the 80,000 observed wallets with +$22.05M on Polymarket's own figures. Both boards change as Polymarket's figures update, and a rank is a record, not a forecast: in Vultax's study of 9,902 wallets over 18 June to 14 July 2026, the top 1% of winners took 43.9% of all realised gains.

Question 4

Do Polymarket's top traders stay on top?

Accepted Answer

Not usually. Across every wallet active in consecutive months from March 2025 to March 2026 (431 million fills, 13 month pairs), a profitable month was followed by another 41–51% of the time. The active few are steadier: of 184 wallets with ten or more trades in both June and July 2026, 124 of the 137 June winners were profitable again in July, while one-trade wallets were in profit 12.2% of the time that July. That is why the Vi IQ board asks for 1,000,000 shares traded in 30 days and a record that is up all-time.

Question 5

How much of Polymarket's profit goes to the top traders?

Accepted Answer

Most of it. Over 18 June to 14 July 2026, the top 1% of winning wallets, 36 of 9,902, took 43.9% of all realised gains, and the top 10% took 79.5%. The median wallet's realised P&L was zero, and 54.3% of wallets closed nothing at all in that window.

Question 6

Are the top Polymarket traders bots?

Accepted Answer

Some trade like machines. Of 130,346 wallets seen over 12 days in August and September 2026, 2,080 (1.6%) were active in every hour of the clock and filled 58.4% of 9.82 million trades; the ten busiest wallets alone filled one trade in five. This board does not label any wallet as automated. A trader's page lists the trades and their times, so the cadence is there to read.

Question 7

What does buying 30 seconds behind a leading wallet cost?

Accepted Answer

Vultax measured it. Behind buys by the 1,000 most profitable wallets on 12–13 September 2026, a buyer 30 seconds late paid 1.43¢ a share more in event markets, averaged over 17,088 buys, and paid more on 57.9% of them; in Polymarket's fee-charging markets, fees and fill put a $50 trade about 6% down before the market moved. Vultax does not execute trades or mirror wallets; this board is the record.

Question 8

How do I look up a Polymarket wallet?

Accepted Answer

Paste the wallet's 0x address, or the link to its polymarket.com profile, into the box at the top of this page. For the 80,000 wallets on this board it opens the Vultax record: Polymarket rank, lifetime P&L, volume and win rate where available. For any other wallet it shows the rank, lifetime P&L and volume Polymarket returns. Checking a wallet is free and needs no account.

Question 9

Can I track a Polymarket wallet?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Wallet pages show open positions, recent trades and P&L by category where those source records are available, free and with no account. The Sources tab explains their coverage and dates. To keep a list of the traders you follow, press Save trader on their page (saved traders stay in this browser). The board is a stored snapshot of Polymarket's public leaderboard: it shows when it was last updated, and each wallet's page shows when its figures were reported.

Question 10

What does a Polymarket trader analysis show?

Accepted Answer

Each card shows P&L, volume and P&L divided by volume over the board's window: how much of every dollar traded the wallet kept as profit. A wallet that trades very often can make millions at about 1%; one that took a few large positions can show 50% or more. The trader's page adds win rate from returned resolved positions, open positions, recent trades and category rows where the source provides them. It is a record of what happened, not a forecast.

Question 11

What is free, and when do I need an account?

Accepted Answer

Research, trader pages and browser-saved traders are free. A free account opens the Vi assistant with 5,000 messages per 30-day allowance, topic watches, the crypto workspace and Telegram alerts. No payment is required.
