Polymarket LP Leaderboard

Polymarket pays liquidity providers a daily reward for keeping limit orders posted on active markets — narrower spreads and larger standing size raise the LP's score and increase their share of the day's payout. Payouts go out in USDC (or pUSD post-migration, both 1:1 USD) once per 24-hour epoch around 00:00 UTC. The programme has run continuously since November 2023.

Polymarket's formula samples every LP's open orders once per minute and scores each order by distance from midprice, age, and posted size. At the end of each 24-hour epoch the market's allocated reward pot is split pro-rata across all LPs by accumulated score. Per-market daily pots are published on each market's detail page on polymarket.com. We mirror lifetime payouts; the scoring formula itself lives on Polymarket's side.

Directly from on-chain Transfer events. Polymarket's LP-rewards distributor wallet is a publicly identifiable Polygon EOA that batches daily payouts via the Disperse.app contract. We watch the contract via Polygon RPC, aggregate the Transfer events per recipient address, and rank wallets by lifetime sum. No scraping, no third-party API, no Polymarket auth — just blockchain truth. For lifetime, monthly, and daily distribution totals across this same on-chain dataset — plus year-over-year breakdown — see our LP rewards distribution stats.

Each view aggregates LP payouts within its window from the same on-chain Transfer events. All-time shows lifetime cumulative LP rewards since November 2023 — typically tens of thousands of dollars for the most active LPs. 30-day shows only payouts received in the trailing month; 7-day only the trailing week. The same wallet can rank #1 on the all-time board but not appear at all on the 7-day board if they haven't been LP-active recently. Use the period picker above the table to switch — search and the pinned "You" row work on each period independently, with thresholds (top 1% / 10% / 1,000) recomputed for the active window.

polyrewards.fun has historically been the public LP leaderboard for Polymarket, but it surfaces only a curated subset of LPs and offers no cross-reward context. PolyScalping ranks every wallet that has ever received an LP payout from the distributor — winners and one-time recipients alike — and the same trader's standing across maker rebates, referrals, yield, and lifetime PnL is one click away on their profile page.

Yes — the LP programme is functionally on-book market making on a CLOB. You post bid and ask limit orders around midprice, the protocol pays you for keeping the spread tight and depth posted. Where it differs from spot-DEX LP-ing (Uniswap-style AMM pools): there is no impermanent loss curve here — you are not parked in a bonding curve. Instead the cost is adverse selection: if informed flow takes your bid before the market moves up, you are left holding NO shares that just lost value. LP rewards are intended to offset some of that adverse-selection cost in exchange for the spread you provide.

Two main risks. Adverse selection — informed traders take your most aggressive bid or ask just before the market moves against you, leaving inventory you did not actually want. Resolution risk — every Polymarket market settles 0¢ or 100¢; any inventory still on your books at resolution crystallises into a directional gain or loss. LP rewards compensate for the spread you provide but do not eliminate either risk. Mitigations: stick to high-volume markets where informed flow is less concentrated, avoid markets close to resolution where inventory cannot be unwound, and use our scanner to filter by reward-to-volume ratio.

Scalping (small-edge profit-taking, fast turnover) and LP-ing are complementary modes of the same underlying activity — both involve resting limit orders on the order book. A scalper sets aggressive bids/asks expecting them to fill on short-term mispricing, then closes the position quickly. An LP posts wider, less aggressive orders and earns the spread plus the rewards subsidy when orders stay posted across an epoch. Many wallets on this leaderboard run hybrid strategies: scalping on high-volume markets while LP-ing the longer-dated ones for steady rewards income. See the farming guide for the practical playbook.

Polymarket pays out LPs once per day around 00:00 UTC. Our cron picks up the on-chain Transfer events at 02:00 UTC (1.5 hours later) so the matview is populated before the next epoch closes. The "synced X ago" indicator in the page header reflects the actual timestamp of our most recent successful cron run.
