Recently, there have been too many meme coins that have skyrocketed, with a flurry of creative and impactful memes emerging. From tracks to imaginative spaces, and community speculation (CX) angles, they are more creative and impactful than ever before. From AI to DeSci, from abstract art to mathematical formulas, various themes have become popular, making the market's speculation rhythm faster and increasing the difficulty of earning.
Nowadays, playing with Meme coins relies not only on luck but also on speed, sharpness, and precise control over smart money. In this high-risk, high-reward world, being a moment too slow may mean missing out on a thousandfold coin, and a moment's inattention may lead to stepping into a short trap. Given the limitations of time and effort in manual operations, how to use tools to maximize decision-making efficiency has become the key to victory for every player in PVP.
With Abot about to 'end', and dexx experiencing a crisis, aside from gmgn, what other useful emerging tools can help with real-time trading alerts and easily track smart money?
Photon Trading
Like gmgn, Photon is also a good tool for watching internal markets, and Photon also supports five chains: ETH (Ethereum), SOL (Solana), TRON, BASE, BLAST.
Scan the chain
After entering the Photon official website, choose a wallet to connect based on your needs. This article takes Solana chain operations as an example, so we choose to link the Phantom wallet. After connecting the wallet, Photon will automatically generate a new trading wallet. Note that the private key of the generated Photon trading wallet will only be displayed once, so be sure to save it properly.
When the page shows 'New wallet generated', you can transfer SOL to this Photon wallet address. It is recommended to use this wallet only for trading purposes to avoid transferring excessive assets.
After clicking next, we will see the latest trading pairs. This page will update in real-time with newly issued coins within the last 24 hours and important information corresponding to each token, such as: creation time, initial/current liquidity (sorted in descending/ascending order), FDV (sorted in descending/ascending order), TXNS (the total number of transactions for the trading pair in the past 24 hours and the ratio of buy to sell transactions), trading volume (sorted in descending/ascending order), buy/sell and audit results, etc.
Additionally, by clicking the filter function in the upper left corner, Photon will provide more filtering options, including: liquidity pools (where you can input ranges), trading volume, market capitalization, at least one official account, etc.
The information source aggregated to the right of the filter function can also be selected. The Quick Buy function on the far right can enhance purchasing speed by reducing purchase steps.
Popular Trading Coins and Personalized Settings
In addition to new trading pairs, Photon also has a popular page where you can quickly view the top 100 tokens that others are buying and selling. There are also multiple filtering and sorting options, and you can select different time intervals (1 minute/5 minutes/30 minutes/1 hour) to view popular tokens within those time frames.
Enter the settings page, click the avatar icon in the upper right corner of the page, and select settings. On the settings page, users can set various trading options in advance according to personal preferences.
Options that can be set in advance include: buy and sell settings, slippage settings, priority fees, bribery fees (this fee is directly paid to JITO validators to incentivize them to prioritize and confirm transactions), smart MEV protection (Photon provides two MEV protection modes: fast mode: using any upcoming validator, if it is JITO validator, then bribery fees are automatically applicable; safe mode: only using JITO validators to ensure transactions are submitted as bundles).
Note: The Photon platform charges a fee of 1% for each buy and sell transaction. This 1% fee will be deducted from the initial investment. Simple transfers between wallets are free of charge.
Chain.fm
Chain.fm is a dedicated tool for detecting smart money, turning smart money into different channels. The tool's author is developer Zen, who previously developed tools such as bitatom and runestore.
Smart Money Channel
Visit the Chain.fm Explore page to browse and follow multiple popular channels on the platform. First, look for the channels recommended by everyone to learn and observe. Each channel has its characteristics, tracking from a few to dozens of smart wallets. Following one channel can basically track the dynamics of hundreds of smart wallets at once, greatly improving information acquisition efficiency.
Each channel will have detailed descriptions, such as the styles of these addresses. For example, this channel below:
The channel's owner will label each included wallet address, indicating whether they excel at bottom fishing, new listings, selling, etc.
Chain.fm's channel aggregation feature will display only one record for the same dynamics from different channels to prevent duplication. Meanwhile, you can see multiple labels from different channels and use different channel labels to understand smart wallet information from multiple perspectives.
Once you are familiar with the usage and gameplay, you can request an invitation code. With an invitation code, you can register an account, and with an account, you can create and follow channels. After following a channel, you can add email and TG notifications to quickly learn about smart money dynamics and unlock features like browsing personalized home.
There are currently two ways to obtain an invitation code:
The first way is to private message the author's Twitter to get it, talking about what you will do with this tool, etc. The author also wants to establish direct connections with every beta user. However, due to a high volume of applications, this method is currently quite strict, with more approvals going to older users of the author's previous products (bitatom and runestore).
The second way is to obtain an invitation code directly by donating 0.3 SOL on the donation page.
Customized Notification Features
Once you have an invitation code, you can receive notification features. After following, open the small bell in the upper right corner of the channel; for example, you can set conditions to receive alerts in your email or TG Bot. Sometimes you can receive alerts even when you are too busy to check.
Additionally, you can create a collection of smart money addresses yourself, categorizing the smart wallets you follow into a collection. Unified management makes it easier to observe and analyze their dynamics. It is best to regularly update and optimize the address collection to ensure tracking more valuable targets.
After placing the smart money you follow into a collection, you can access a personalized Home page. Click the event filter button to use advanced features: such as event filtering by checking Sell and Buy events to quickly filter target dynamics; CA (Contract Address) search: copy the contract address (CA) into the search box to see how many smart wallets have bought or sold that token (e.g., meme tokens).
DingCat
DingCat is a product made by CreatorDAO, focusing on grouping, following, and real-time push functions, real-time abnormal signal pushing, and same vehicle reminders.
Group Management of Smart Money Addresses
Enter the DingCat official website, verify your account login with your email, and you will be prompted to connect to your TG account or do so later in account settings.
Like Photon, DingCat will also automatically generate a new wallet. Clicking on the account in the upper right corner will reveal the wallet address. On the management page, you can recharge and withdraw from the wallet. Click on Assets to see the wallet's private key; remember to save the private key properly. Likewise, be cautious not to transfer too many assets; it is best to use this wallet solely for trading.
Entering the Signal page, the latest activity list on the left shows the latest activities of the selected Gangs in real-time, covering all MEME coin buy and sell information. To maintain data currency, after users view and refresh the page, these activity records will automatically move to the Transactions area of module 1.
There is also a top bar displaying the latest popular tokens purchased by all users' collected smart wallet addresses! Users can switch between 5 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours, and 24 hours options. We selected some popular tokens from the past 24 hours.
Looking at the right side, this block is DingCat's unique functional module, specifically reminding users of the dynamics of a certain token being bought by multiple wallets, helping users quickly identify market hotspots and providing data support for decision-making.
By selecting Discover, smart money group, and watchlist pages, you can see more information about smart money. Upon first logging into DingCat, you will see three sets of default smart wallets recommended by the system. You can select all Gangs or choose specific Gangs.
This Gangs list appears to be the Smart Money Group, which has some similarities to Chain.fm, but the number of addresses collected is fewer than in Chain.fm. However, it can create its collection of smart money addresses within a certain range. In Chain.fm, this function requires an invitation code.
The specific operation is to create a new Gangs and enter the Gangs management page, then click the '+ New Gang' button to create a new Gang. In the pop-up window, enter the wallet address and click the 'Add' button to complete the addition.
Bulk Import If you need to add multiple wallet addresses at once, you can use the bulk import function. It supports using the address@ alias format, allowing you to add multiple addresses separated by commas or line breaks quickly.
After creation is complete, the Gangs list will display on the homepage and Gangs page, and you can edit, update, and optimize the list as needed. On the Gangs page, click the 'Share' button to share the Gangs list with friends through a link. Friends can view the Gangs list after opening the link.
Similarly, you can also collect other people's Gangs. By opening the link shared by friends, you can selectively add interesting wallets or directly collect the entire Gangs list; after the operation, the relevant content will automatically be saved to the management page.
Personalized Reminders and Quick Trading
DingCat's personalized reminders are a paid feature, and the current subscription price for the Plus version is: 1 month: 0.88 SOL. Here is a comparison of the main functions of the free version and paid Plus version:
The free version supports tracking 10 smart wallets, allows the creation of 1 group, and supports following 1 high-quality group. The Plus version supports tracking 200 smart wallets, creating 10 groups, allows following 5 high-quality groups, as well as global smart capital reminder functions and TG BOT reminders.
Next, we will explain the notification feature. Set notifications DingCat supports highly customizable reminder functions, allowing users to set the types of buy and sell alerts. Adjust the reminder time period (currently available for all-day reminders, with plans to support segmented reminders in the future). Enable the Telegram Bot for more immediate trading dynamic pushes.
Quick Buy On the Alert Board panel, users can directly click to perform quick buy operations, enhancing transaction speed and efficiency.
Trading Alerts When new trading dynamics occur, there will be prominent alerts in the navigation bar accompanied by sound reminders to ensure that users do not miss any key information.
Defined
Defined is an on-chain trading tool promoted by Shaw, the founder of Alliance and ai16z (an AI meme coin and a venture capital institution operated by an AI agent), which benchmarks Dexscreener. According to early users' feedback, it is much more precise in reacting to market hotspots than Dexscreener, and the coin filter function is also useful.
In terms of chain data support, Dexscreener supports data from nearly 100 chains, while Defined currently supports more than 60 chains, covering most popular chains with high trading volumes, including emerging networks like Berachain. Defined's goal is to become the first trading platform to support new chains like Berachain, which is estimated to be in cooperation with Berachain.
Currently, I feel that Defined's most outstanding features, apart from supporting a wider range of chains, are the BOT integration and mobile support (as of the time of writing, mobile support is in the TestFlight testing phase).
Use Defined_BOT to track wallets
In addition, Defined_Bot also supports tracking the dynamics of smart money. Click to create a Telegram group, create a new Telegram group. Add Defined_Bot to the group and enable tracking. Use the command /add walletlabel> address'> to add the target wallet. After completing the setup, you will receive real-time alerts for every transfer from the target wallet.
By connecting the Defined account with @Defined_Bot, you can also complete trading operations directly on Telegram:
Start a conversation with @Defined_Bot in Telegram and enter /start. Type the command /login and click the 'Log in' button provided by the BOT. Follow the link provided by the BOT to jump to Defined's web platform and complete account verification.
After verification is complete, close the Defined webpage and return to Telegram, where you will receive a login confirmation message and wallet information. On Telegram, you can enable or disable wallets for trading, create new wallets, or check balances.
Trading through Defined_Bot
Defined bot currently supports trading on the following chains and tokens: Uniswap V2 and V3 on ETH, Blast, Base, Arbitrum, BSC, and Solana (including pump.fun).
Defined_Bot supports the following operations: sending token contract addresses (CA), sending the token's CA in the chat window, and the BOT will return token information and trading options. Select a preset ETH amount to quickly complete the exchange between ETH and tokens. Or choose 'Buy X ETH' to customize the purchase amount. Click the Buy -> Sell button to switch between buy and sell functions. It supports viewing wallet information and customizing slippage settings.
In addition, you can create limit orders: click 'Create Limit Order', enter the trigger price and the amount of ETH to complete the creation. After that, click the red 'x' on the 'My Orders' page to cancel. You can also use the 'Clear Limit' command to abandon the limit order being created.
Note: The standard transaction fee for the Defined platform is 1%. However, users can obtain a fee discount by purchasing the Scarab platform token $DUNG, with a minimum of 0%. (The Defined platform previously acquired the Scarab platform)
