Compare OrcaLayer with every major alternative

Polymarket Analytics ranks the wallets with the highest raw P&L. OrcaLayer ranks the wallets with the highest *real* skill — about 16% of their top traders are airdrop farmers and bot wallets that our Farmer Filter strips out before you ever see the leaderboard.

The Polymarket Data API is the official, free, real-time source — the right tool for a wallet's latest trades and current positions. It is not built for deep history. Maker fills are hidden by default (takerOnly=true), offset pagination is capped at 10,000, and the /trades endpoint has no date-range filter. OrcaLayer indexes the same Polygon chain end to end — every fill, both sides — and layers normalization on top: NegRisk-corrected P&L, farmer filtering, smart-money consensus. We do not replace Polymarket's API. We add the historical analytics layer on top of the same on-chain ground truth.

Hashdive ships unique data depth — Insiders Dashboard, Smart Scores, Related Markets bundling. But the UX is Streamlit-era 2002. OrcaLayer offers complementary depth (Farmer Filter, NegRisk fix, ISW Ukraine, Channel signals) on a modern mobile-friendly site, with paid tiers and a real API.

Polywhaler shipped the original Polymarket whale tracker — they built the foundation we all learned from. OrcaLayer is the next iteration: published methodology, exclusive ISW Ukraine territory data, public TG signal broadcasts, and a real Premium API. We respect what they built; here's what we ship on top.

Polysights pursues quant-grade depth — Radar Score, Open Interest, Resolution Urgency, an Execution Terminal beta. Their ambition is real, but at v0.8.1 the product is still pre-1.0 and noticeably buggy. OrcaLayer ships fewer experimental features, but the ones we ship work — stable, methodology-published, with ISW Ukraine data and a real Premium API.

PredictFolio is the reference standard for the Polymarket whale-tracking niche — Polymarket's official Twitter follows them, journalists cite them, and our own cross-validation pipeline benchmarks against their numbers (we agree within 0.7%). OrcaLayer is not 'better' than PredictFolio. We're complementary: same data trust as a baseline, plus Farmer Filter, NegRisk-corrected win rates, exclusive ISW Ukraine territory data, and a public TG signal channel.
