What we filter out
- Exchanges and their operational wallets.
- Market makers and liquidity pools.
- Internal transfers within a single entity.
- Technical noise — small and “test” transfers.
Methodology
Synapse reveals the real architecture behind large holders and the market's key players. The platform tracks both large single transactions and coordinated collective maneuvers across a multi-chain space, focusing exclusively on liquid assets with high trading potential. It automatically builds a registry of priority addresses — insiders, market makers and project teams — filtering out market noise and surfacing only strategically relevant analytics.
Almost the entire wallet balance sits in one token. That is how a team, a treasury or early allocation recipients hold — not a trader with a diversified book. What happens to the token next does not follow from the concentration itself.
A large token inflow to a team treasury (Gnosis Safe / multisig). A project or DAO position consolidates under a multisig — what happens next does not follow from the inflow itself.
Tokens are withdrawn from a team treasury (Safe / multisig) to external wallets — the position leaves the multisig. What happens next does not follow from the transfer.
See examples →Several fresh wallets receive their first funding from a single source almost simultaneously — a linked cluster, not independent addresses. Accumulation, OTC, distribution or holding may follow — the transfers alone do not show which.
See examples →Tokens leave an exchange for external wallets — an outflow from the order book. Often this is self-custody or an allocation distributed via the exchange. What recipients do next does not follow from the transfer.
See examples →A token is moved onto an exchange from a team or fresh wallet — an inflow to the order book. This often looks like preparation to sell, but the deposit alone does not confirm it: what happens next does not follow from the transfer.
See examples →Token movement tied to Binance Alpha — the early-allocation and pre-listing venue. An early allocation from a well-known program enters on-chain circulation. What happens to the token next does not follow from the allocation move itself.
See examples →One sender distributes a token to several addresses in comparable portions (multisend). This is the fact of a distribution from a single wallet — to whom exactly and why, the transfers do not reveal.
See examples →Many addresses claim their share of a token from a distributor contract at almost the same time — an airdrop claim. Each recipient pulls their own share and pays the gas (pull), whereas a distribution is pushed to addresses by a single wallet (push).
See examples →One or several team wallets are selling tokens on a DEX. The bar on the event page shows how much of the starting position the team has not sold yet.
See examples →Smart and team wallets are accumulating a token on a DEX — add-ons from a single wallet, coordinated buys or a large whale buy. The bar shows how much of the target size is already accumulated. This is the fact of accumulation — intent does not follow from it.
Open in DEX Visor →A team or fresh wallet receives a large stablecoin top-up (USDT/USDC) — a frequent sign of preparing to buy a token back (“fueling up for a buyback”). The transfer records an inflow of funds; whether a buyback follows does not follow from it.
See examples →The same token moves in a coordinated way from several senders within one window — a structural sign of concerted activity. Who and why does not follow from the transfers.
See examples →A single large token transfer between wallets for a big amount. A neutral signal — direction and intent do not follow from it.
See examples →A stablecoin pegged to $1 drops noticeably below the level — a peg break. Whether it recovers does not follow from the deviation itself.
See examples →A perp on the token appears on a futures exchange for the first time (Binance / MEXC / Gate / Bybit / OKX). A new listing is often accompanied by a spike in liquidity and volatility. Where the price goes does not follow from the listing itself.
See in the digest →A single action can match several signals at once — for example, a withdrawal from an exchange to several fresh wallets is both “CEX withdrawal” and “Fresh cluster”. In the catalog a wallet is colored by its primary (most specific) signal, and the rest are shown as extra labels beside it.
A live DEX terminal: a feed of smart- and team-wallet buys and team sells drives a movable wall of charts. Every trade is a GMGN-style bubble right above the candle: size by volume, color by side. Hover to see the wallet, amount and a link to the transaction.
The feed shows only two flows — DEX buys and sells, with no exchange or service noise. Clicking an event opens its chart on the wall; each chart can be expanded, torn off into its own window and time-synced with the rest. The wallet strip under the chart lets you toggle any wallet's trades on and off with the “eyes” — to isolate a single player.
We read the moves of large wallets on HyperLiquid straight in the derivatives book: position building and unwinding, clusters, fresh capital and liquidation risk — in real time.
A wallet builds or unwinds a large position: the combined size of one wallet's parallel TWAP orders on a coin is ≥ $1M, or a single large market fill. This is off-chain derivatives positioning, not a token transfer.
Open radar →A coordinated entry into a thin HyperLiquid market (market cap < $100M) totaling under $1M: several parallel TWAP orders or accumulation from fresh money. Early interest where even a modest size stands out.
Open radar →A fresh wallet funds HyperLiquid for the first time — a large first USDC deposit via the Arbitrum bridge. A new player with a clean history; what they do next does not follow from the deposit itself.
Open radar →A large position is at risk of forced closure or has already been liquidated. “% to liquidation” is how far price has left to move against the position before a margin call; we compute it ourselves from the mark price and the liquidation price the exchange publishes. A notional threshold keeps small ones out of the feed.
Open radar →In the HyperLiquid feed, signals are filtered by the nature of the action. One entry usually matches several types at once:
An order split into equal tranches over time (time-weighted). Building or unwinding in small pieces so as not to move the price.
A ladder of limit orders across several prices — accumulation within a range.
A position reversal on a coin: from long to short or vice versa — a change in the direction of the bet.
A single large market fill or an explicit opening / scaling of a position in one move.
A position liquidation or a warning of imminent liquidation — the position is under price pressure.
A wallet enters the catalog not because of one large amount, but when its movements add up to a clear structure. To tell a real team from technical rotation, we look at the wallet's behavior over time and at where the funds came from. An event only counts when the picture holds together.
