On-chain Smart Money Tracking Final Chapter: Overview of the Top 10 Ecological Coin Ambush Expert Addresses
Author: Wenser, Odaily Planet Daily
In previous articles "On-chain Smart Money Tracking: Top 10 Meme Coin PVP Expert Addresses and Their Performance" and "On-chain Smart Money Tracking: Collection of Top 10 Value Coin Accumulation Expert Addresses," we provided a brief analysis and sharing of smart money addresses in the fields of meme coins and value coins, summarizing their operational characteristics.
Building on this, we will briefly analyze and introduce the operations of smart money addresses related to ecological token projects (referring to tokens related to a specific vertical ecosystem, such as DEGEN in the Base ecosystem, NOT in the TON ecosystem, etc.) in this article for readers' reference and learning. At the end of the article, we will also update the on-chain tracking tools, adding some new tools to facilitate readers in dynamically adjusting their operational strategies.
Base Ecosystem: DEGEN
At the end of March, when the Base ecosystem took over the meme coin craze from the Solana ecosystem, smart money address 0x2f7…70100 continuously accumulated DEGEN from February 8 to March 25, achieving an unrealized profit of $12.7 million at that time. It is reported that this address invested a total of 964.1 WETH to buy 323 million DEGEN, with an average cost of $0.0095 per token; at that time, it was the third-largest address holding DEGEN, and it has since liquidated its DEGEN holdings.

Base Ecosystem: BRETT
On May 30, according to Spot On Chain monitoring, a trader turned $556 into $7.48 million through BRETT within three months, achieving a return of 13,453 times.

On May 30, after the token price increased by 76% over the past week to a new high, this address deposited 23.45 million BRETT (approximately $2.12 million) into Gate.io, while still holding 59.21 million BRETT (approximately $5.36 million). Currently, this address has achieved a total profit of $10.86 million. Due to its very early buying time, it is suspected to be an insider or even part of the project team.

Solana Ecosystem: WIF
On March 8, according to Lookonchain monitoring, a certain trader spent $1,749 to buy 5.1 million WIF on November 30 last year and has held it until now, when it was valued at $10.9 million.

Summary: There Are No Eternal Believers, Only Profit-Seeking Gamblers
Looking at the above ecological coin players, they are all skilled individuals with a clear profit-seeking awareness, rather than those who "want to date the ecosystem or project" and accompany "its growth" for a long time.
Whether it's selling the news during a bustling time or timely offloading at market peaks, these ecological coin players will not forget their original intention of entering the cryptocurrency industry due to temporary market enthusiasm—"the original intention is to make quick money"—even though, many times, making money also requires lying in wait for several hours, weeks, or even months. However, knowing when to take profits is a skill that everyone should learn.
After all, selling high always earns, but if you lose money, you can only comfort yourself by saying "it's fuel for promoting the cryptocurrency industry."
As the last article in the "On-chain Smart Money Tracking Trilogy," the final message we want to convey is that the on-chain world seems decentralized but is actually a thoroughly dark forest. Therefore, most of the mentioned smart money addresses will be abandoned after taking profits from a certain token or project. Although the probability of unexpected events and additional risks is very low, "on-chain security" remains a matter worthy of attention, including preventing potential "on-chain poisoning" events (referring to the act of making small transfers to a wallet from addresses with the same beginning and ending characters, which directly sends funds to that address during fund transfers).
Thus, we hope these words can serve as an introduction for readers to engage in on-chain operations and explorations, and we look forward to seeing your presence among these smart money addresses or trading experts in the future.
