Polymarket Whale Alert Telegram Bot (Clone)
A lightweight variant of the whale-trade alert Telegram bot, focused solely on real-time notifications without the copy-trading feature.
This repo (dunefalcon1qrj) appears to be a simplified or forked version of the popular TG-Polymarket bot, stripped down to just the alerting functionality. It catches Polymarket whale trades and sends them to a Telegram channel in real time.
The setup is likely simpler: a Node.js script that subscribes to Polymarket's WebSocket or REST API trade feed, filters for large volume or dollar-value trades, and formats a Telegram notification with the event, side, and size. No execution logic is present.
The 156 stars show moderate traction, yet also carries the POSSIBLE_STAR_FARMING flag. Since it lacks backtesting or performance data, this is considered a utility tool rather than a verified profit-generating strategy.
Primary risks are integration failures (API changes), spam-like alerts that can lead to desensitization, and the cost of Telegram Bot API if deployed at scale. It is most useful for manual research and market surveillance.
