# Wallet‑Tracking

Wallet‑tracking is one of Recon’s core features. It lets you **follow any Polymarket wallet**, see where and how it is betting, and receive alerts when it trades.

### What Wallet‑Tracking Does

For any tracked Polymarket user, wallet‑tracking aims to:

* Aggregate their **open and closed positions**.
* Classify trades by **category** (politics, crypto, sports, finance, etc.). [Recon](https://recon.trade/)
* Surface **PnL / performance trends** over different timeframes.
* Send **Telegram alerts** when they make new trades or when certain conditions are met.

This turns public on‑chain trading activity into something **readable, filterable, and actionable**.

### Typical Use Cases

* **Follow “sharps”** – Track high Smart Score traders, then mirror or learn from their moves.
* **Build a watchlist** – Maintain a list of wallets whose activity you always want to see.
* **Category specialists** – Identify wallets that consistently perform in one vertical (e.g. just politics or just sports).
* **Self‑tracking** – Add your own wallet to monitor performance with the same tools everyone else gets.

### How To Set Up Wallet‑Tracking

The exact UI will be in the app, but conceptually you will:

1. Open the **Wallet‑Tracking** section.
2. Search for a **Polymarket user / address**, or paste a known wallet.
3. Add them to your **tracked wallets**.
4. (Optional) Attach a label or nickname (e.g. “Top politics sharp”).
5. Enable **Telegram alerts** and follow the instructions to link the bot.

Once linked, Recon will push notifications about the wallets you track via Telegram.

> Best practice: Regularly prune your tracking list—keep a smaller list of high‑conviction wallets to avoid alert fatigue.
