# CrowdIntel — on-chain Polymarket whale & insider intelligence

> CrowdIntel is a free, public analytics platform that surfaces whale wallets, insider activity, and funding-cluster investigations on Polymarket, using only on-chain data from Polygon. Every number is reproducible from the public blockchain — no platform cooperation, no gated data, no login required to browse.

## What CrowdIntel does

CrowdIntel indexes every on-chain trade from Polymarket (72M+ trades via a Subsquid subgraph), scores each trade across 8 signal categories (bet size, odds extremity, funding cluster, timing cluster, wallet win rate, bet concentration, market category, cluster reputation), and publishes the results as a browseable dashboard at https://crowdintel.xyz.

Key outputs:
- Whale profiles — lifetime PnL, win rate, Bayesian confidence, funding trail, full trade history for every Polymarket wallet
- Market pages — who's betting on each Polymarket market, buy/sell sentiment, top holders, insider score distribution
- Investigations — clusters of coordinated wallets, traced to shared funders, with statistical p-value evidence
- Insider Radar — real-time alerts on trades scoring ≥65 in the detection engine
- Glossary — plain-English definitions for every analytical term used across the product

## Core methodology

- **Data source:** Polygon blockchain (via Subsquid indexer). Gamma API used only for market metadata (slugs, titles, categories) and resolution outcomes.
- **Scoring:** Suspicion Scorer V3 — 8 signal categories summing to 0–100+. Threshold ≥65 surfaces on dashboard; ≥70 is CRITICAL.
- **Investigations:** Open when wallet/cluster clears ≥20 resolved bets, ≥70% win rate, positive PnL, p-value ≤ 0.1, edge ≥ 15 percentage points vs category base rate. Scope-narrow (single-wallet, single-topic) investigations use ≥10 bets + p ≤ 0.1.
- **Bayesian win rate:** Beta-binomial shrinkage with a Beta(10,10) prior centered on 50% — prevents small-sample sharpshooter bias.
- **Clustering:** 1-hop USDC funding trace + 60-minute timing windows. Multi-hop obfuscation is a known gap.

## API for agents (read-only)

CrowdIntel exposes a paid, read-only REST API for programmatic and agent consumers. Full machine-readable contract: OpenAPI 3.1 at https://crowdintel.xyz/openapi.json. Interactive reference with try-it: https://crowdintel.xyz/api-docs.

- Base URL: https://crowdintel.xyz/api
- Auth: `Authorization: Bearer cint_api_...` (mint a key at /settings/api; Terminal $99+ subscription required). Keys are secrets — server-to-server only, no browser CORS.
- JSON: snake_case responses. Errors: `{ "error": { "code", "message", "request_id" } }`.
- Pagination: cursor — list endpoints return `{ "data": [...], "next_cursor" }`; pass next_cursor back as `?cursor=`.
- Rate limits (rolling hourly + monthly, hard 429, no overage): Free 50/hr·500/mo · Terminal $99 1k/hr·50k/mo · Terminal Pro $299 5k/hr·250k/mo. Headers: X-RateLimit-Limit / -Remaining / -Reset; 429 adds Retry-After.
- Tiers per endpoint (min tier in parentheses): free endpoints work with any valid key; terminal/terminal_pro require the matching paid plan.

Agent-native channel: the CrowdIntel MCP server (12 read-only tools, `cint_mcp_` keys) is bundled into Terminal ($99+) for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Zed, or any MCP client.

## Pricing

CrowdIntel is free for all public browsing — whale pages, market pages, investigations, alerts, glossary are un-gated. The paid read-only API and bundled MCP server are sold under the Terminal umbrella: Terminal ($99/mo) for the full read API + MCP, Terminal Pro ($299/mo) adds on-demand analyze, clusters/investigations, and 5x rate limits. See /pricing and /pricing.txt.
