Track Solana Whales in Real-Time With Telegram Alerts

Whale watching is one of the simplest edges in crypto. Big wallets move first. If you see what they buy before the crowd does, you have a window.

I built a whale tracker that monitors any Solana wallet and sends you a Telegram notification within 60 seconds when they make a move.

How It Works

  1. Give the bot a wallet address: /copy HN7cAB...
  2. The bot snapshots the wallet's current token holdings
  3. Every 60 seconds it checks for changes
  4. New token? Alert. Token reduced? Alert.
  5. Optionally: auto-mirror the trade

The Copy Trading Part

You can set a SOL amount per trade. When a tracked wallet buys a new token, the bot automatically buys the same token for you — routed through Jupiter with Jito MEV protection.

This is how some people trade exclusively. Find 2-3 wallets that consistently hit early, follow them, and let the bot do the rest.

Safety Layer

Every token that a tracked wallet buys gets an automatic safety scan (0-100 score). You can configure the bot to only copy trades above a certain safety threshold. This prevents you from blindly following a whale into a rug pull.

Pricing

  • Free: Track 2 wallets with Telegram alerts
  • Premium (0.1 SOL/month): Unlimited wallets + copy trading + webhooks + 0.5% fees
