FAQ
Do I need to connect my wallet?
Section titled “Do I need to connect my wallet?”No. Taligate only reads public Polymarket data. You give it a 0x address - that’s it. No wallet connection, no seed phrase, no private key, no KYC, no email. The bot never touches your funds.
How fast are the alerts?
Section titled “How fast are the alerts?”On Basic, Pro, and Whale plans, the bot polls each wallet roughly every 30 seconds and delivers changes in the next batch about 20 seconds later. In practice that means you usually see the alert within a minute of the trade.
Free plan collects the same events but delivers them in batches roughly every 5 minutes.
Why didn’t I get an alert?
Section titled “Why didn’t I get an alert?”A few things to check:
- Filters or thresholds. In
/settingsyou can set minimum values for position size (USD), size change (%), shares change, and PnL. If a change doesn’t clear these thresholds, it gets silently skipped. The threshold defaults to 0 (no filter) unless you’ve changed it. - Event type muted. You can toggle off New, Closed, Increased, or Decreased alerts in
/settings. If the event type is off, nothing fires. - Price move, not a trade. If the market price shifts but the trader didn’t buy or sell, there’s no snapshot change and no alert. The bot only reacts to actual position changes.
- Notifications disabled for that wallet. Each wallet has a Mute/Unmute toggle on its card in
/list. - First poll. When you first add a wallet, the bot records the current state as a baseline. Alerts start on the next change after that.
Will adding a wallet flood me with alerts?
Section titled “Will adding a wallet flood me with alerts?”No. The first poll sets the baseline without sending anything. Only new changes after that point trigger alerts.
What happens when my trial ends?
Section titled “What happens when my trial ends?”Your 7-day Pro trial expires and your account automatically drops to Free. Nothing is charged. Free includes 1 wallet with roughly 5-minute alert batches and no automatic morning digest.
If you were tracking more than 1 wallet during the trial, the extras are paused (not deleted) when the trial ends. The most recently added wallet stays active. All settings and nicknames are preserved. You can resume paused wallets by upgrading, or by muting an active wallet and tapping Activate on a paused one.
Can I get the digest on Free?
Section titled “Can I get the digest on Free?”Yes, on demand. Run /digest at any time and you’ll get a per-wallet summary: open positions, total value, total PnL, the change since yesterday, and the top positions.
The automatic morning push at 09:00 UTC across all your wallets is only available on paid plans. That’s the part Free doesn’t get automatically.
Where does the closed-position PnL come from?
Section titled “Where does the closed-position PnL come from?”From Polymarket’s own settlement data, fetched at the time the alert is delivered. It isn’t a stale number from the last open-position snapshot - it’s the actual realized figure from the closed-positions endpoint.
Can two people track the same wallet?
Section titled “Can two people track the same wallet?”Yes. Each address is polled once regardless of how many subscribers follow it. Every subscriber gets their own alert, through their own filters, with their own nickname for the wallet.
What happens if I don’t renew my subscription?
Section titled “What happens if I don’t renew my subscription?”Wallets over your plan’s limit are paused, not deleted. Their settings, nicknames, and alert configurations stay intact. Renew the plan and they resume automatically. The most recently added wallets stay active while others are paused.
Is this affiliated with Polymarket?
Section titled “Is this affiliated with Polymarket?”No. Taligate is an independent tool built on Polymarket’s public API.
