What is realizability?

Whether you could actually reproduce a wallet's edge by copying it - after copy-lag, fees, de-levering to a sane size, execution style, and a change of market regime. Profit alone is not the question; reproducible-by-you profit is.

Why do most wallets fail?

Their edge is structural, not analytical: market-making (you can't replicate resting-order queue fills), speed/latency (gone before it's public), or leverage (dies de-levered). Copying those just hands you the losing side.

Is this financial advice?

No. Blacklight is read-only research tooling - public on-chain data only, no custody, no execution. Do your own diligence.

The Realizability Call - which Hyperliquid & Polymarket wallets you can actually copy

Blacklight (blacklight.observer) scores every Hyperliquid and Polymarket wallet for one thing: realizability - whether copying it would actually pay off after copy-lag, fees, de-levering, and execution style. Most you can't. Here is the current data.

Hyperliquid: 220 of 682 copyable wallets are realizable (19 strong).

Pass rate: about 32% of the wallets we screened today clear the bar (134 of 412 measured this run; 32.5-33.6% across the last 2 daily runs on the current method; the method last changed on 2026-09-23, so readings from before that date (31-45%) are not comparable). 'The bar' means strong, moderate or marginal; weak and bot-speed-only verdicts count as below it. This is a population figure and it has been stable day to day. Single verdicts near the line are not: 44 of the 412 wallets scored this run have a score between 11 and 18, within 4 points of the pass line at 15, and we mark them borderline, because scores that close have crossed the line within days, in both directions, as new trades came in. Wallets whose score was carried from an earlier run are excluded from the rate.

Polymarket: 0 of 0 scored wallets are realizable. 100.0% fail. 0 carry too little settled-bet evidence to publish a number; they are not counted as passing.

Every tracker shows you "top traders" by PnL. We ask the harder question and reject the ones you can't reproduce - that asymmetry is the whole point.

Polymarket: the few that are even followable

PM realizability is near-zero by design: a transparent zero-sum order book, and most fills are maker (resting orders you can't reproduce by following). Only directional taker wallets with real edge clear even "marginal".

Why most "top traders" fail

wallet	RS	strategy	binding factor
none cleared the bar this run

Three structural edges don't transfer when you copy: market-making (the profit is in queue priority/spread capture - by the time you see the fill, the price is gone), speed (latency/at-close sniping, stale once public), and leverage (great returns that vanish de-levered to a size you'd actually run). Blacklight measures each and only passes wallets whose edge survives all of them.
