Read the whale pulse before the leaderboard
The hero compares accumulation and distribution across the most active wallets and summarizes current facts such as signal count, largest move and wash-pattern trails. Below it, Wallets moving now highlights strong activity and ranking changes. This prevents an old high-volume address from looking more urgent than a wallet that just changed behavior.
Choose the correct leaderboard
CEX whales ranks addresses by exchange-related volume over the displayed window. DEX traders focuses on on-chain trading behavior. These are different jobs: a wallet can dominate venue transfers without being a strong DEX trader, and a profitable-looking DEX address may have little exchange flow. Open the board note and period before comparing ranks.

Use Live for events and Stories for patterns
The Live wire can show all, CEX or DEX activity. Wallet Stories groups recent moves into a readable arc such as quietly accumulating, cashing out or two-way wash-like behavior. A story is a research shortcut generated from observed moves; open the wallet and trail to verify it.
Follow only wallets with a clear reason
Follow a wallet when you can state what would make its next move meaningful: a deposit after accumulation, a new counterparty, a large DEX rotation or a return from dormancy. Alerts are most useful when tied to a thesis; otherwise a busy wallet creates noise.
Frequently asked questions
Is the top-ranked wallet the best signal?
Not necessarily. Rank reflects the board's metric and window. Current behavior, direction, counterparties and historical follow-through matter more.
What is a wash-pattern trail?
It is evidence of repeated two-way or round-trip behavior. It can indicate artificial activity, routing or market-making, so the wallet trail must be inspected before assigning intent.
