What OrcaLayer does
Polymarket analytics site and data API built on its own index of trades read from the Polygon chain. It ranks wallets by profit with reward farmers, high-frequency bots and Polymarket's router contracts filtered out, marks a wallet “Smart Money” when it has a 55%+ win rate over 10+ resolved markets and positive P&L, and shows each market's smart-money split, wallet track records and a live feed of large trades. Wallet pages, the leaderboard and market pages are free to browse without an account. Pro at $9.99 a month adds Telegram and Discord whale alerts and a watchlist; Premium at $19.99 adds the API, and Business at $99 adds webhooks and a commercial licence. You trade on Polymarket yourself.
Features- Own index of Polymarket fills from Polygon, with splits, merges and redemptions tracked and NegRisk markets corrected
- Leaderboard by profit, win rate or profit factor for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or all time, by category
- Filters that drop farmers (average buy above 95¢), bots (500,000+ trades under $20 on average) and Polymarket's router contracts
- “Smart Money” and stricter “Proven” marks, with the rules published on a methodology page
- Market pages showing which side the tracked wallets hold
- The base numbers hold up. On Nov 11, 2026 the top three of OrcaLayer's all-time leaderboard, Theo4 at +$22.05 million, swisstony at +$18.48 million and Fredi9999 at +$16.62 million, matched Polymarket's own all-time profit leaderboard to the ten thousand dollars. Below that the two lists part: Polymarket's fourth-placed account, at +$13.3 million, is not in OrcaLayer's default view, which hides farmers and bots, and OrcaLayer's fourth, DEEDDIT, shows +$7.47 million. That is the point of the product, but the filters are switched on by default, so the board is a selection and not the whole field.
- The filters themselves are simple and published, which makes them easy to judge. A farmer is any wallet whose average buy price is above 95¢; a bot is a wallet with more than 500,000 trades averaging under $20; “Smart Money” is a 55% market win rate over ten resolved markets with positive lifetime P&L. “Proven” is stricter, comparing each entry price with how the market resolved, with a significance threshold and at least 20 events. The methodology page has a section on what the site does not claim, and the footer says past results do not predict future ones.
- The marketing around the data is looser than the data. The home page greets visitors with “Your win rate is just 7.9%” against whales, without saying what the figure measures. Counts drift from page to page: 203K smart whales on the home page against 180K+ on the pricing page, and 5.1M+ markets on the home page against 2M+ on pricing and 1.4M+ in the FAQ.

What polyfees does
Free fee checker for Polymarket. Type a username or address and it adds up every fee the wallet paid over the last 30 days from the on-chain record of each trade, splits Polymarket's fee from the extra fee an app or bot charged on top, adds back the rebates Polymarket paid, and shows the month's profile result before and after fees. Wallets with 20 or more finished bets also get a “portrait” of a few facts about how they traded. A nightly table shows the fee each of the 112 apps with ten or more users adds to a trade, and a Telegram bot keeps up to five wallets and reminds you of uncollected winnings. There is no account, payment or wallet connection.
Features- 30-day fee total for any public wallet, read from each trade's on-chain record
- Polymarket's fee and the routing app's fee shown separately, with the app named
- Rebates, maker rewards and holding rewards added up for the same 30 days on their own line
- Month before and after fees, using Polymarket's own 30-day profile figure
- Trader portrait for wallets with 20+ finished bets, each fact marked with how far it can be trusted
- The app-fee table is the most useful page here and it lines up with Polymarket's data. It said 112 apps had ten or more users last month on Nov 11, 2026, and Polymarket's monthly builder leaderboard listed exactly 112 such builders that day; the user counts it gives differ by about 1%, which a rolling window would explain (polymtrade at 2,973 users against 3,002 on Polymarket). By its count 36 apps added nothing, and RedotPay, MetaMask and blockchain.com added 4% to every instant trade, on top of Polymarket's own fee.
- The method is set out plainly. Fees come from the fee field written into each trade on Polygon, which holds both Polymarket's part and the app's; polyfees works out Polymarket's part from the published formula and attributes the rest to the app named in the trade. The 30-day result is not its own: it quotes the figure from the Polymarket profile, which counts open positions at today's prices, and subtracts the fees. For very active wallets it reads only the latest 10,000 instant trades and says when that falls short of the month.
- The site's research claim, that pre-game prices on 34,065 sports and esports “who wins” markets between June and September 2026 were right almost everywhere, frames the product but is not something we checked. The portrait is careful in a way most wallet tools are not: each fact carries a note such as “this could still be chance”, facts with too few bets behind them are left out, and in-game and 5-minute trades are not judged against a reference price.
