CrowdIntel vs Polysights: insider investigation vs sharp-trader discovery
Polysights aggregates markets and surfaces sharp traders with a flagging system and trade alerts. CrowdIntel is the investigation layer — funding-graph analysis, shrinkage-adjusted win rates, and a public case file of coordinated clusters.
Short answer
Polysights (polysights.xyz) ships four product areas on its homepage: Discover (aggregates active markets and analyzes sharp traders), Intelligence/Insider Finder, Workflows (automated decision chains with market-insight and trade-alert components), and Terminal (institutional-grade execution in beta). CrowdIntel indexes every on-chain Polymarket trade, runs a multi-signal statistical engine over all of them, traces wallets back through their funding graph, and publishes a growing file of named investigations. Use Polysights to find sharp traders and automate entries; use CrowdIntel to understand who's behind the trades you see.

Frequently asked
Which is better for finding insiders?
Different angles on the same question. Polysights ranks sharp traders and lets you automate decisions around them. CrowdIntel opens and publishes investigations on coordinated wallet clusters with funding-graph evidence. If you want a dashboard to trade from, look at Polysights. If you want a citeable research record, look at CrowdIntel.
Does Polysights let me trade directly?
Yes — their Terminal module (currently beta) supports buy/sell execution. CrowdIntel is research-only and doesn't custody funds or execute trades.
Can I use both?
Yes. Common pairing: Polysights for live discovery and execution, CrowdIntel to verify whale counterparties and check whether any wallet on the order book is already part of a published investigation.
