Convexly vs Artemis for prediction markets
Different tools for different jobs. Artemis is a crypto analytics terminal that surfaces market and volume data across sectors, including prediction markets. Convexly is a statistical audit layer for one narrow question: does an individual prediction-market wallet's record separate from chance?
Side by side
| Dimension | Artemis | Convexly |
|---|---|---|
| Primary job | Crypto analytics terminal: on-chain fundamentals, volumes, and sector dashboards, including a prediction-markets sector | Statistical audit of prediction-market wallet skill: does a record separate from chance |
| Coverage | Many chains, protocols, and sectors; prediction markets tracked at the market and volume level | Prediction markets, primarily Polymarket (cross-venue only via the published V1-M paper) |
| Unit of analysis | Markets, protocols, and sectors (aggregate volume and activity) | Individual wallets and cohorts (their resolved-position records) |
| What a number means | Metrics that summarize observed market and volume activity | A four-state statistical read per wallet (skilled / not separable from chance / insufficient / flagged), each state with a frozen threshold |
| Uncertainty | Not the product's framing | Every skill read carries a BCa bootstrap 95 percent interval alongside its resolved-position count; a point estimate is never published alone |
| Multiple-testing correction | Not the product's framing | Benjamini-Hochberg FDR correction across every cohort screen (primary q = 0.10, with q = 0.05 / 0.20 sensitivity in enterprise work) |
| Chance baseline | Not the product's framing | Size-matched negative control: 500 seeded random cohorts run through the identical test in enterprise cohort audits |
| Negative results | Not part of the product | Published, including against its own cohort: 0 of 35 testable top-50 wallets cleared the corrected bar (2026-06-09 scan) |
| Best for | Tracking market and volume trends across crypto sectors | Deciding whether a prediction-market record is evidence of skill before acting on it |
"Not the product's framing" is descriptive, not a criticism: a market-analytics terminal and a narrow wallet-skill audit layer are optimizing different things.
What Artemis does well
Artemis's strength is market and volume analytics. It covers many chains, protocols, and sectors, and turns raw on-chain activity into dashboards a researcher can scan quickly, with prediction markets tracked as one sector at the market and volume level. If your question is "how much is trading, where, and how is activity trending", that is the job Artemis is built for, and individual-wallet skill is not what it sets out to measure.
What Convexly does differently
Convexly is not trying to summarize the whole market. It applies statistical machinery to one domain: prediction-market wallet skill, primarily on Polymarket (cross-venue claims only via the published V1-M paper). Concretely:
- A four-state skill read (skilled / not separable from chance / insufficient / flagged) on an individual wallet instead of a raw PnL rank or an aggregate volume figure, with every state gated by a frozen threshold.
- Every read carries a BCa bootstrap 95 percent interval reported alongside its resolved-position count; a point estimate is never published on its own.
- Cohort screens apply a Benjamini-Hochberg false-discovery-rate correction, and enterprise cohort work is anchored by a size-matched negative control of 500 seeded random draws.
- Nulls are published, including against Convexly's own board: in the frozen 2026-06-09 scan, 0 of the 35 testable wallets in the published top-50 cohort cleared the corrected bar (full table).
- Methods are frozen and version-controlled, and follow-up test designs are filed in public registries before the analyses run, as a standing practice documented on the research index.
Which one for which job
Tracking market and volume trends across crypto sectors, including prediction-market volumes: Artemis. Deciding whether a specific prediction-market record is evidence of skill before you act on it, including before you copy it: Convexly. The two are complementary, and the honest answer for many desks is both.
