Who funded this Solana wallet?
Trace the first SOL a wallet received. 3 levels on Pro, 6 on Elite. Profit can be faked. A funding trail is much harder to fake.
How the funding trail works
- 0
The wallet
The Solana wallet you scanned.
- 1
Its funder
The wallet that sent the first SOL. Amount, date, exchange label if known.
- 2
Funder of the funder
One wallet funding several traders is one person, not several records.
- 3
Origin, or not yet
Usually an exchange hot wallet or a bridge. Pro stops here. Elite keeps walking to hop 6 when a relay split the money again.
Four wallets the trail exposes
Wallet farm
One relay wallet funds twenty fresh wallets. The best three end up on a leaderboard.
Insider wallet
The funder was funded by the token deployer the day before launch.
Rotated wallet
A perfect two week record, funded by the old wallet where the losses are.
Copy of a copy
Funded by another top wallet and trading seconds after it. You pay twice for one signal.
Questions
What does funded by mean on Solscan?
The sender of the first native SOL transfer a wallet received. It cannot be edited after the fact.
Why does the funder matter for copy trading?
Ten wallets funded by one wallet are one operator. Their win rate is one record, not ten.
How deep does the funding trail go?
3 levels on Pro, 6 on Elite. It stops early at an exchange, a loop or a wallet with no funder on record.
Trace the wallet before you trust it.
