Overview
Track large cryptocurrency transactions and whale wallet movements across multiple blockchains. Monitor exchange inflows/outflows, manage custom watchlists, and identify known wallets (exchanges, funds, bridges).
Prerequisites
- Install Python 3.8+ with requests library
- Optionally obtain Whale Alert API key (free tier available for live data)
- Verify internet access for API calls
Instructions
Step 1: Navigate to Scripts Directory
cd ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts
Step 2: Choose a Command
- View recent whale transactions:
python whale_monitor.py recent
- Analyze exchange flows:
python whale_monitor.py flows
- Manage watchlist:
python whale_monitor.py watchlist
- Track specific wallet:
python whale_monitor.py track 0x123...
- Search known labels:
python whale_monitor.py labels --query binance
Alternatively, customize with chain and threshold filters:
python whale_monitor.py recent --chain ethereum
python whale_monitor.py recent --min-value 10000000
python whale_monitor.py watch 0x123... --name "My Whale"
python whale_monitor.py labels --type exchange
Step 3: Interpret Results
Transaction Types:
- DEPOSIT: Sent to exchange (potential selling pressure)
- WITHDRAWAL: From exchange (accumulation signal)
- TRANSFER: Wallet to wallet (whale movement)
Flow Analysis:
- Net positive flow to exchanges = selling pressure
- Net negative flow from exchanges = buying pressure
