Real-time crypto price from Binance and/or CoinGecko in parallel, with latency metadata.

get_crypto_price(symbol="BTC", sources="binance,coingecko")

Returns: per-source prices, average, max deviation between sources.

get_contract_status(category="crypto")  # scan all short-duration contracts

Returns: time_remaining_seconds, time_remaining_human, current_odds.

estimate_probability(question="Will Bitcoin reach $150k before end of 2025?")

Returns: estimated_probability (0-1), confidence_level, factors_for, factors_against, base_rate_note, reasoning.

calculate_portfolio_risk

Pure-math risk metrics for a portfolio of prediction market positions. No external API calls.

Returns: total_exposure, max_loss, max_gain, diversification_score, kelly_warnings, rebalancing_suggestions.

Returns: up to 20 shadow wallets ranked by co-trading intensity, shared categories, win rates.

get_top_wallets

get_wallet_score(address="0xabc...", api_key="your-key")

Returns: score components, win rate, trade count, data freshness.

Wallet Intelligence: How It Works

The paid wallet tools are backed by MoonMirror, a Polymarket wallet intelligence engine. MoonMirror continuously monitors wallets on-chain, scores them on PnL, consistency, and market specialization, and pre-computes shadow wallet relationships.

All wallet queries return in < 100ms because everything is pre-computed. No blocking subgraph calls.
