Product updates

Vultax becomes Vultax Research: everything free, a published charter, paid plans retired.

• 2026-10-17Improved

  Terms version 3, and the crypto desk named again. The terms are reissued as version 3.0: paid plans and the referral programme are withdrawn, the research, the terminal and the API are free, and the licence for published research data is stated. Subscriptions active on 17 October run out under version 2.3 and are not renewed. The privacy, cookie, sub-processor and refund pages follow. The homepage and about name crypto exchanges, protocols and web3 media alongside prediction markets, and about carries one line on where Vultax started.

  Vultax Research, and the charter. vultax.com now opens on the research. Every study, every dataset and the app are free, with no card. The charter says what we always do, what we never do, who we are and how we are funded: we hold no positions on any market we measure, we take no advertising, and paid measurement work, data licences and grants are each disclosed. Paid plans were retired; /pricing and the referral programme now point to work with us. The two people behind the research are named on about.

• 2026-10-14Improved

  Analytics choice on first visit. vultax.com now asks once whether to allow optional analytics, with Accept analytics and No thanks side by side. Nothing optional is measured until you accept, and either answer is remembered on vultax.com and app.vultax.com. Change it anytime from Analytics choices in the footer. The privacy policy (version 2.10) and cookie policy (version 2.5) describe the prompt.

  Research source and sample correction. The Polymarket insider-screen study now credits Boka Qin and Rui Yang for the TimeSeventeen/Polymarket-v1 historical fill dataset.

Kalshi-related research data downloads are paused while redistribution rights are reviewed.

  Research, organised by desk. Vultax Research is grouped into prediction markets, Polymarket traders and crypto markets.

  Polymarket tool comparisons, measured. A six-page series on Polymarket tooling opens with Best Polymarket Tools in 2026: 22 tools read from their own pages on 5 September, scored on stated latency, P&L method and price.

Every article now carries its headline figure on its share card.
