Wallet holders can benefit from targeted advertising and promotional spending. Bluwhale uses AI and contextual data to analyze on-chain behavior, activities, and preferences, generating comprehensive profiles of Web3 individuals, developing wallet roles and groups, and helping companies more accurately identify potential audiences.
