[1/25] Blockchain is transparent. This gives rise to the ability to gather intelligence on whales 🐳 and smart #Crypto investors’ activities. And ride on their coattails.

This thread will focus on Nansen’s smart money feature along with other complementary tools.

🧵👇👇👇

[2/25] We will be covering:
- Nansen’s tool to gather intelligence
- Examples of smart traders/investors
- Other complementary tools for more insights
- Summary of tools covered

[3/25] To use Nansen productively, it’s important to understand the various wallet labels (e.g. Elite Dex Trader, ETH millionaire, Legendary NFT Collector etc)

Here’s an example of wallet labels attached to a wallet‘s address.

Further reading on labels:

[4/25] Diving in, Nansen’s Smart Money dashboard covers the smart money trail in relation to DEX trades, transactions and token holdings.

Spy on their movement, their fave tokens and where they are holding their capital on the #Ethereum chain

[5/25] Discover the top DEX token transfers and the entities engaged in them in the last 24 hours.

If you want to drill deeper, you can click the wallet pair profiler to check past transactions between 2 transactional entities.

[6/25] E.g. Wintermute depositing to Kraken and past transactions b/w them. @nansen_ai allows you to intuitively check individual entity’s holdings and transactions on chain with @etherscan.

[7/25] Top transactions can be sorted be value to deliver more insights on what the big boys (e.g. Alameda Research, Longling Capital Jump Trading, ParaFi Capital) are up to

[8/25] Check out the smart money and fund leaderboard, what they are holding by token and how they stack up against each other.

Smart money label breakdown by % gives good insight on what they do. The biggest portion are smart LP!

P.S @HEjustinsun is one hell of whale!

[9/25] What is the % of the smart money‘s portfolio that are in the stablecoins over time?

It’s 11% now compared to 18% on June 22nd, and trending downwards. Tells you smart money could be buying and market may be picking up again!

[10/25] You can also find smart money through Nansen’s token god mode.

E.g. WETH is the fave token among the smart money. You can discover who is the biggest WETH token holder (i.e. Jump Trading) among them.

And who holds large WETH balance and engage in large transfers

[11/25] Stabecoin Masters can also give you insights on the notable wallets holding large stablecoin balance and who has large balance changes and stablecoin flow etc

[12/25] Whales and smart money leave a trail through their large gas fee usage…so the gas checker can help you suss them out by looking at the large gas consumer and spender accounts.

[13/25] DAO God Mode is also a good way to find influential #DAOs members who hold large amount of governance tokens and voting power.

Look who I found in @LidoFinance DAO. 😀Authorities in #Crypto

@cobie @dragonfly_cap @TimBeiko @ASvanevik and more…

[14/25] Don’t forget there are a lot of smart even legendary NFT traders out there. Find them under NFT Paradise (e.g. Profit leaderboard, Minting leaderboard and Smart money tracker etc)

[15/25] Aside to Nansen, @DeBankDeFi ranking can also be a good avenue to check out influential crypto holders.

Here’s an example of one and his NFT collection.

[16/25] More whale intelligence dashboards from @DuneAnalytics

And also mover and shaker whale transactions can be found at:
@whale_alert

[17/25] @coincarpcom has a “rich list” feature for each token that lists down the top 100 richest address.

Here is an example for #Solana $SOL

coincarp.com/currencies/sol…

[18/25] Remember to copy the wallet addresses found from Dune, DeBank and Coincarp and plug them to Nansen’s wallet profiler for more insights.

Look I found a whale here in Nansen!

[19/25] To be more productive, you can also setup a smart alert based on the transaction, token movement or contract creation event

[20/25] In summary, you can get on the smart money trail through the following Nansen features:

- Smart Money
- Token God Mode
- Stablecoin Masters
- Gas Tracker
- DAO God Mode
- NFT Paradise

Then use wallet profiler to dig further into wallet holdings/transactions

[21/25] Summary of complimentary tools to use with Nansen:

- DeBank ranking
- Dune Analytics whale tags
- Whale Alert
- Coincarp rich list

Again, plug addresses into Nansen's wallet profiler and set up alerts to get real time movement

[22/25] Ok, that should give you plenty of whale and smart money intelligence ideas! As you can see, @nansen_ai is such an invaluable tool for this purpose.

My thread is meant for an intro to the intelligence potential of Nansen. Do use their videos and guides for greater depth

[23/25] Besides on chain analysis, it will be good to complement your crypto analysis with fundamental research tools as well. Following are great for research in relation to #Tokenomics, #NFT, #DeFi
