👤 Who Should Use This

  • Swing traders

  • Long-term holders with concentrated bags

  • Users tracking Smart Money or whale behavior

⚠️ Workflow

  1. In Token God Mode, navigate to the Holders tab

    • Create a label for the Top 10–50 holders for your token

  2. Use your labeled wallets to create Smart Alerts:

    • Value threshold: $50,000–$100,000 (or adjust based on token’s avg TX size)

  3. Route alerts to Telegram, Slack, or segmented Discord channels

  4. Monitor signals:

    • Multiple exits from key holders = Risk signal

    • Simultaneous drop in Spotlight inflows or Smart Money DEX activity

  5. When these criteria align → Consider:

    • Taking profit

    • Rotating into more stable plays

    • De-risking if you’re overexposed

❓When to Use This

  • After entering a position in a low to mid-cap token

  • During sideways or uncertain market conditions

  • Before major events or token unlocks

⚙️ Feature Spotlight

  • Token God Mode → Holders tab

  • Smart Alerts (Token Transfer)

💡Pro Tip

To reduce noise, exclude exchanges or contract addresses using label filters when setting up alerts.
