Data interpretation

A wallet address is a lookup key, not a verified identity.

A public address can connect positions, activity, monitored trades, and a private watchlist entry. It does not prove who controls the wallet or whether several addresses share an owner.

What the address connects.

Polytrack uses a wallet address as a lookup and join key. When sources respond, the product can retrieve positions and activity, connect earlier monitored trades, calculate profile metrics, compare two addresses, and match the address to a signed-in user's private watchlist.

Public profile names and private labels can make the interface easier to scan. They remain labels, not authentication.

  • Positions and activity are time-sensitive.
  • A private watchlist label is visible only to its account.

What remains unknown.

An address may be controlled by a person, team, service, contract, proxy, or changing operator. The address alone does not establish legal identity, geography, affiliation, beneficial ownership, or source of funds.

The same caution applies to comparison. Similar markets, timing, or direction can justify a closer look, but they do not prove shared control or coordination. Volume, PnL, market count, and average trade size also depend on the source method and observation window.

Keep the address, source, window, and underlying sample beside any claim built from the profile.

Limits

What this note does not establish.

  • Public interfaces can omit, delay, or later correct records.
  • Positions and calculated metrics can change after the page loads.
  • Polytrack does not verify wallet control or beneficial ownership.
