cryptowhales

What this is

A tool to scrape and report the total balances of top cryptocurrency wallets

Telegram Preview

Features

• Displays historical total balances for whales via website
• Reports balance summaries via telegram channel
• Stores historical data for other analysis
• Distinguishes wallets based on analysis
• Summarizes data in USD

Disclaimers

• Not financial advice
• Work in progress. Not 100% sure about the way wallets are distinguished
  • Actually not 100% sure about anything at all. Feel free to contribute.
• Only captures data from top BTC and ETH wallets.
• This uses html scraping to collect data. It can fail if the websites change.

TODO

• Better website
• Capture more data
• Consider timescale db for smaller footprint
• Rename cold wallets to accumulators and hot wallets to sellers
• Merge with Whale Summary
• Setup own nodes and query direct from blockchain

How it is analyzed

Additional notes

• Telegram bot and website adds the total of these movements to the time header
  • There may be duplicates. i.e. A cold wallet transferring to an exchange.
• Wallets are considered cold wallets by default
  • They are marked as hot wallets if their highest balance in the last 30 days is higher than their latest balance
