How do I set up Polymarket Pulse?
Polymarket Pulse is a Telegram Mini App that delivers prediction-market alerts: trades, whale activity, price moves, market resolutions, and breaking news matched to the specific Polymarket markets it moves. Setup: start the bot, pick a language, connect a wallet (or browse without one). This page walks through it.
Before you start
Pulse personalizes around your Polymarket wallet — the markets you hold and the traders you follow. You get the full experience by connecting a Polymarket 0x wallet address, but you can also browse markets read-only without connecting anything. If you mainly want news rather than market alerts, start with Convicta News instead.
1. Start the bot
Open @Convicta_pulse_bot in Telegram and tap Start (or send /start). Use the menu button to open the Pulse Mini App.
2. Pick your language
Choose your language when prompted.
3. Connect your Polymarket wallet — or browse first
Pulse asks for your Polymarket 0x wallet address. This is a public address: Pulse only reads public data with it, and it never gets access to your funds — no keys, no trades. Once connected, Pulse tailors alerts and the news feed to the markets you hold or follow.
Prefer to look around first? Use the read-only “Browse Explore without a wallet” path. You can browse markets, but you will not get a personalized feed or personal alerts.
4. Your first alerts
With your wallet connected, Pulse builds your personalized feed and starts alerting. Depending on your plan, alerts include:
- Price / threshold alerts — a market crosses a level you set (“Notify me”).
- Whale alerts — large trades above a size threshold.
- Trader alerts — real-time trades by traders you follow.
- Market resolution status — proposed → disputed → resolved, with the dispute-window countdown.
- News triggers — breaking news matched to your watchlist, positions, followed traders, or chosen topics.
- Edge — an experimental AI fair-value estimate on a market (see below).
Every notification module has its own toggle, and each alert has an on/off switch — see the Settings map for the full list.
What Edge is: an AI-computed fair-value estimate for a market — an early, experimental version that improves as our models and data improve. Edge is not financial advice; it is one more metric to weigh, and the decision is always yours.
What is free and what is paid?
The Pulse free tier includes 2 alerts and the core alert types; paid tiers add unlimited alerts, trader-watch, digests, and (on the top tier) the full Edge. While Convicta is in community testing, every new user starts with a two-month free grant on the full-featured tier — access is free right now because we are still collecting feedback. See Pricing.
How fast are the alerts?
Price, whale, and trader alerts fire off live market data. News-to-market matching runs on a batch cadence — news-derived alerts are timely, not millisecond real-time. We do not advertise real-time news alerts.
