Everything on this page works on a free account. It takes about five minutes, plus the time the first scan of a big wallet needs.

1. **Sign in.**

   Open [Polysider Eye](https://eye.polysider.com/). Eye needs an account, so you land on the sign-in page: **Log in or sign up**. Pick Telegram, Google, a wallet or an email code. *Any option creates your free account.* See [Your account](https://docs.polysider.com/start/account/) for the details of each method.

2. **Paste a wallet.**

   Under **Paste a wallet**, paste a Polymarket wallet address (`0x` followed by 40 characters) and press **Analyze →** or Enter. Eye checks it as you type: *Looks good — press Enter*.

   No wallet in mind? The **Try:** chips under the box open sample wallets, and **Recent** lists the last ones you opened on this device.

   > **Which address?:** Copy the address from the trader’s Polymarket profile page. If Eye says *This address is valid but has no Polymarket activity*, it is usually not the address that trades. Eye takes addresses only; it does not search by name.

3. **Choose: open the stored scan or refresh it.**

   If someone has scanned this wallet before, you see **Existing scan found** with its date and size:

   - **Load existing scan** opens it instantly and is always free.
   - **Refresh with latest data** adds the activity since that scan, and uses one scan from your allowance.

   A wallet nobody has scanned yet starts a full scan straight away.

4. **Wait for the scan.**

   The page walks through *Queued*, *Fetching data*, *Resolving market tags*, *Computing patterns* and *Saving the scan*. A queued scan *starts by itself — you can leave this page and come back*. A very large wallet shows *Large wallet — … A full scan can take several minutes*. The scan keeps running and is saved even if you close the page.

5. **Read the result.**

   From the top:

   - the **header**: the trader’s name, their Polymarket all-time rank, when they joined, and how old this scan is;
   - a one-paragraph **summary** in plain words;
   - the **archetype** badges, a label for the trading style;
   - the **CopyScore** card (PRO; blurred on a free account);
   - the **stat cards**: P/L, win rate and Profit Factor, hold times, deposits and withdrawals and more. Hover a card for what it means;
   - the **charts**: categories, the hour of day the wallet trades, price and size distributions, and P/L over time;
   - **Profitable ranges** (PRO; blurred on a free account);
   - **Transactions**: the full activity list and the open positions.

6. **Save it.**

   Press **☆ Save** in the header to keep the wallet in **Saved wallets** (it goes to *Unsorted*). The caret beside it, **Save to a folder…**, picks a folder.

7. **Export it.**

   **Export ▾** in the header offers **Download image (PNG)**, **Download data (CSV)** (the stat cards) and **Print / PDF**. The activity list has its own **Export ▾** for its rows.

## Your scan allowance

A free account has **100 scans per rolling 24 hours** (currently). The hint beside the scan buttons shows how many you have used, for example *12/100 scans today*. Opening a stored scan never uses one. When you run out, Eye tells you when the next one frees up, and stored scans still load.
