Merlin is a Quant / Data product for Polymarket that runs a curated copy-trading marketplace where strategies are ranked by live P&L and return, with one-click execution through the Merlin Telegram bot at @merlin0_bot. The platform features 50+ hand-picked Polymarket traders across eight categories — politics, sports, crypto, culture, economics, tech, finance, and whale traders — each with live PnL, return, risk labeling (High/Medium), 24h volume, and weekly returns. Minimum copy-trade amounts range from $20 to $200 depending on trader. Merlin operates an aggregated leaderboard at /leaderboard, integrates with OpenClaw for scripted shell-callable automation, ships a small content library (trading guide, glossary, About), and publishes an RSS feed for strategy updates. On-chain Polymarket traction: #63 on the 1-month builder leaderboard at $293.2k routed from 144 monthly active users, and #92 all-time at $809.3k from 297 cumulative — a steady mid-tier retail copy-trading footprint. Founders, funding, and launch year are not publicly disclosed.
Merlin (merlin.trade) is a copy-trading marketplace built on top of Polymarket. Rather than a generic terminal, Merlin curates a roster of 50+ Polymarket traders and exposes each as a tradable 'strategy' — users browse, filter by live P&L, weekly return, 24h volume, and risk classification, then copy with one tap.
Execution is routed through the Merlin Telegram bot (@merlin0_bot), making the entire workflow chat-native: discover a strategy on the web, open the bot, mirror the trader. Each strategy carries a minimum copy amount ranging from $20 to $200 depending on the trader's category and risk profile. Categories are split into politics, sports, crypto, culture, economics, tech, finance, and a dedicated 'whale traders' bucket; the strategy marketplace and an aggregated leaderboard at merlin.trade/leaderboard are the two main browsing surfaces.
The project also publishes a small content library — a trading guide, a glossary, and an About section — and integrates with OpenClaw (a shell-callable AI agent framework) for users who want to script trading. The site emits an RSS feed (/feed.xml) and operates an X account at @merlin_future. Founders, team size, launch year, and funding are not disclosed on the site.
On-chain traction places Merlin in the steady mid-tier of Polymarket builders: #63 on the 1-month leaderboard with $293.2k routed from 144 monthly active users, and #92 all-time at $809.3k cumulative across 297 users. The ~$2k-per-MAU ratio is a textbook retail copy-trading signature — broad user base, modest per-user volume, recurring engagement through the Telegram bot.
