whale-watcher_skill

Overview

This skill monitors crypto whale wallets and sends alerts when large transactions occur. It supports multiple chains such as Ethereum and BSC and records recent transaction history. Use it to track specific addresses and receive real-time notifications for transfers that exceed your configured thresholds.

How this skill works

The skill polls on-chain APIs (Etherscan, BscScan, and similar) to inspect incoming and outgoing transactions for tracked addresses. It compares each transaction value to a user-defined threshold and emits alerts (for example, via Telegram) when a transfer exceeds that threshold. It also stores recent transaction history for quick queries and supports monitoring multiple wallets across chains.

When to use it

• You want real-time alerts for large wallet movements on Ethereum, BSC, or other supported chains.
• You need to monitor specific high-value addresses for risk management or market signals.
• You want an automated feed of whale transactions for trading or research.
• You need transaction history for a set of addresses to analyze past large transfers.

Best practices

• Configure reliable API keys (Etherscan, BscScan) and rate limits to avoid missed events.
• Set sensible thresholds per wallet to reduce noise and focus on meaningful moves.
• Use a dedicated alert channel (Telegram or webhook) to centralize notifications.
• Monitor only known or important addresses to conserve API budget and storage.
• Regularly review and prune tracked wallets and thresholds as risk profiles change.

Example use cases

• Receive a Telegram alert when a known exchange wallet moves over $1,000,000 in assets.
• Track competitor or institution wallets to identify accumulation or distribution patterns.
• Feed whale transaction alerts into a trading strategy to trigger manual review or automated orders.
• Maintain a searchable history of large transactions for post-event analysis and reporting.
