About AllTop

The biggest stories, with the markets pricing them.

AllTop ranks the stories moving across the web and connects them to live prediction markets from Kalshi, Polymarket, and Polymarket US. The goal is simple: keep the classic AllTop scan of what matters right now, then add market prices when traders are actively assigning odds to the same story.

What AllTop is today

AllTop keeps the broad topic coverage people expect from the original site: news, tech, business, politics, sports, crypto, culture, and the source-level context behind each story.

On topics with active prediction markets, AllTop adds live pricing, volume, open interest, operator coverage, and market movement so readers can see how traders are reacting to the same news.

MyAllTop preserves the personal feed workflow: follow topics and sources, save stories, and keep a reading list that is separate from market browsing.

The result is not a trading terminal replacing a news site. It is an AllTop homepage and topic network that can also answer the next question: are markets pricing this story?

Why it matters

The web is noisy, and major stories often move faster than a single source can explain. AllTop exists to make that scan useful again: one place to see what is rising, where it is being covered, and which sources are adding new information.

Prediction markets add a second signal. They are not a substitute for reporting, but they can show how much conviction traders have around elections, sports, macro events, crypto prices, entertainment outcomes, and other measurable questions.

We keep those signals distinct: stories remain stories, market prices remain market prices, and combined pages make clear when a topic has both.

Note

“A story page should answer what happened, who is covering it, and what markets are implying — only when a relevant market exists.”
News first, markets where useful.

Where we’re headed

We are deepening the combined news and markets surface: more topic coverage, cleaner story clustering, better market matching, and more useful MyAllTop controls for following sources and subjects.

Markets will continue to expand where they make the page more useful: sports, politics, macro, crypto, entertainment, and any topic where live prices give readers another way to understand the story.

The three layers that make AllTop what it is

  1. 1
    Editors decide the top stories
    The ranking model surfaces candidates and sorts the feed, but a human makes the final call on what leads the homepage and how the headline is framed. This is the layer that separates AllTop from a pure algorithm: judgment about what actually matters, applied by people who follow these markets.
  2. 2
    The ranking model scores every story continuously
    Each story gets a score built from how fresh it is, how many separate outlets are covering it, the authority of those outlets, and how fast new coverage is arriving. Stories sort by that score, and it updates every few minutes, so the feed reflects the last few hours rather than whatever broke first. Two safeguards keep it steady: a story only one outlet is running gets held back until others corroborate it, and a story already leading holds its place unless a challenger clearly outscores it, so the homepage doesn't thrash between near-ties.
  3. 3
    Clustering and ingestion do the groundwork
    Incoming articles are grouped by meaning, so twenty versions of the same headline become one story with twenty sources attached rather than twenty separate entries. That source count is what feeds the ranking above it, and it's why a story on AllTop shows how many outlets are behind it.
