How perps traders on Polymarket differ from prediction-market traders, why there is no public perps leaderboard, and where to find proven Polymarket traders.
Polymarket's public leaderboard ranks prediction-market profit. Perps positions and P&L are not published as a separate public board, so any site claiming a ranked list of "top Polymarket perps traders" with precise profits is inventing it. We don't publish numbers we can't verify.
The verified route is the main board: the top 100 traders by monthly realized profit and the biggest daily winners. Many of the largest wallets also trade perps — the same balance funds both — but their perps results specifically are not public data.
Perps reward risk management over prediction: position sizing, funding awareness, and liquidation distance decide survival. The leverage guide covers the mechanics that end most beginners' accounts.
One balance for prediction markets and perps. Check the live contract, start at low leverage, and size small while you learn.
