Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Deep Blue Alpha's Ethereum whale tracking platform.
What is Deep Blue Alpha?
Deep Blue Alpha is a real-time Ethereum whale intelligence platform that monitors thousands of whale wallets. It provides live transaction feeds, buy/sell sentiment analysis, conviction-scored token picks, and volume analytics across decentralized exchanges — all updated every block.
How does Ethereum whale tracking work?
Deep Blue Alpha monitors blockchain transactions from known whale wallets in real-time. Every transaction is classified into one of 17 on-chain actions and tagged with a sentiment (bullish, bearish, neutral, or noise), then aggregated into volume breakdowns and conviction scores — all visible on the dashboard within seconds of each trade.
How does Deep Blue Alpha classify whale transactions?
Every whale transaction is classified into one of 17 deterministic on-chain actions — DEX swap buy/sell, CEX deposit/withdraw, OTC trade, bridge in/out, LP add/remove, lending borrow/repay, staking reward, wallet transfer, self-transfer, airdrop, and unknown — with a derived sentiment label of BULLISH, BEARISH, NEUTRAL, or NOISE. This is how the platform separates real accumulation (Uniswap buys, CEX withdrawals, OTC purchases) from wallet shuffles and exchange noise — something most whale trackers lump together into a single "buy/sell" stat.
What tokens does Deep Blue Alpha track?
The platform tracks 965+ ERC-20 tokens including WETH, LINK, UNI, AAVE, PEPE, and all major tokens traded by whale wallets on Ethereum decentralized exchanges. New tokens appear automatically as whales trade them.
How often is whale data updated?
Whale transaction data is updated in real-time, with the dashboard refreshing approximately every 3 seconds via WebSocket. Daily whale intelligence reports are published each morning covering the previous 24 hours of activity.
Is Deep Blue Alpha free to use?
The core dashboard, live feed, market trends, and daily whale reports are free with no signup required. The Intelligence Suite, WHaiLE AI, Whale Picks, and expanded wallet/token limits require a paid tier (Pro or Alpha). See the pricing page for what's included in each tier.
What is a whale conviction score?
A conviction score measures the confidence level of whale activity on a particular token. It combines factors like the number of unique whales buying, accumulation velocity, trade size, and multi-wallet convergence into a single score. Higher scores indicate stronger consensus among large holders. Learn more about conviction scores →
What DEXs does Deep Blue Alpha monitor?
Deep Blue Alpha monitors all major Ethereum decentralized exchanges — Uniswap V2, V3, and V4, CoW Protocol, 1inch (v3/v4/v5), SushiSwap, 0x/Paraswap, and MetaMask Swap. Every token swap executed by a tracked whale wallet on Ethereum mainnet is captured and classified in real-time.
How are whale wallets identified?
Whale wallets are auto-discovered from on-chain activity based on transaction volume and trading patterns. The system continuously identifies new large-holder addresses as they appear on Ethereum, expanding the tracked wallet universe over time.
