Tools Setup

You’ll use three tools together, each solves a different problem.

---

Terminal - discovery and fast wallet analysis

Best for:

• top traders

• holder distribution

• early buyer identification

• quick pattern recognition

• alerts

Terminal is where most wallet hunting starts.

Think of Terminal as your radar — it tells you where to look.

---

Solscan - transaction verification

Best for:

• raw transaction details

• exact timestamps

• contract checks

• suspicious transfers

Use Solscan whenever something looks unusual and you want to confirm it on-chain.

If you can't verify it on Solscan, you shouldn't trust it.

---

Cielo - long-term wallet behavior

Terminal only shows around 30 days of wallet history.

Cielo fills that gap.

Best for:

• long-term wallet performance

• old positions and historical plays

• recurring behavior patterns

• wallet connections and relationships

Cielo shows who this wallet has been over time, not just what it did recently.

---

Quick takeaway

• Terminal → find interesting wallets fast

• Solscan → verify every move

• Cielo → study long-term behavior

Use them together like a system, not as isolated tools.

Advanced insight

Experienced traders do not copy wallets. They use wallet behavior to confirm or challenge their own thesis.
