Wallet Profiling

Behavioral classification, performance analysis, and trading style detection for Solana wallets. Profile any wallet to understand how it trades, how well it performs, and whether it is worth following.

Why Wallet Profiling Matters

Copy-Trade Evaluation

Before mirroring another wallet's trades, you need evidence that its historical performance is genuine, consistent, and not the result of a single lucky hit. Profiling quantifies win rate, profit factor, hold time, and consistency so you can make informed decisions about which wallets merit attention.

Smart Money Identification

Wallets that consistently buy tokens early and exit profitably are signal sources. Profiling separates genuinely skilled traders from lucky gamblers and wash-trading bots. Key differentiators: sustained profit factor above 2.0, win rates above 45% across 100+ trades, and diversified token selection.

Counterparty Analysis

When a large wallet enters a position you hold, understanding its historical behavior (sniper vs. holder, bot vs. human) helps you anticipate what will happen next. A sniper wallet buying suggests a quick dump is coming; a swing trader buying suggests multi-day conviction.

Risk Assessment

Token holder analysis benefits from knowing whether top holders are bots, snipers, or genuine investors. A token where 60% of holders are classified as snipers has very different risk characteristics than one held primarily by swing traders.

Wallet Classification

By Trading Style

Classification is based on the median hold time across all closed trades:

By Trade Size

Based on median trade size in SOL:

By Behavior Type

By Focus Area

Performance Metrics

Core Metrics

Win Rate — Percentage of trades that are profitable.

win_rate = count(pnl > 0) / count(all_closed_trades)

Minimum 30 trades for statistical significance. A 60% win rate across 200 trades is far more meaningful than 80% across 10 trades.

Average ROI Per Trade — Mean return across all closed positions.

avg_roi = mean((exit_value - entry_value) / entry_value)

Include all fees: platform fees, priority fees, and estimated slippage.

Profit Factor — Ratio of gross profits to gross losses.

profit_factor = sum(winning_pnl) / abs(sum(losing_pnl))

Interpretation: > 2.0 excellent, 1.5–2.0 good, 1.0–1.5 marginal, < 1.0 losing.

Total PnL — Cumulative profit/loss in SOL.

total_pnl = sum(all_trade_pnl)

Maximum Drawdown — Largest peak-to-trough decline in cumulative PnL curve.

drawdown = (peak_equity - trough_equity) / peak_equity

Sharpe-Like Ratio — Risk-adjusted return metric.

sharpe = mean(trade_returns) / std(trade_returns) * sqrt(trades_per_year)

Data Sources

SolanaTracker PnL API (Primary)

The SolanaTracker API provides pre-computed PnL data per wallet per token.

import httpx

url = f"https://data.solanatracker.io/pnl/{wallet_address}"
headers = {"x-api-key": os.getenv("ST_API_KEY")}
resp = httpx.get(url, headers=headers)
pnl_data = resp.json()

Response includes per-token:

realized

unrealized

total_invested

total_sold

num_buys

num_sells

last_trade_time

Helius Parsed Transactions (Detailed)

For granular transaction-level analysis, use the

helius-api

Birdeye Trader Data

Birdeye's trader endpoints provide wallet-level analytics. See the

birdeye-api

DexScreener (Free Fallback)

DexScreener does not provide wallet-level PnL but can be used to validate token prices at trade timestamps.

Copy-Trade Evaluation Framework

Before following a wallet's trades, verify these criteria:

Minimum Requirements

• Trade history: At least 50 closed trades (100+ preferred)
• Time span: Active for at least 30 days
• Consistent performance: Rolling 7-day win rate standard deviation < 15%
• Reasonable sizing: No single trade > 20% of observed portfolio
• Diverse tokens: At least 10 unique tokens traded

Green Flags

• Profit factor > 1.8 sustained over 60+ days
• Win rate 45–65% (unrealistically high rates suggest wash trading)
• Moderate trade frequency (2–20 trades/day)
• Mixed hold times indicating adaptive strategy
• Gradual equity curve growth (not step-function jumps)

Red Flags

• New wallet (< 14 days old): Possible sybil or one-hit-wonder
• Single big win: One trade accounts for > 50% of total PnL
• Declining performance: Last-30-day metrics significantly below all-time
• Bot-like patterns: Uniform timing/sizing without proportional edge
• Extreme win rate: > 80% often indicates small wins with catastrophic losses
• Concentration: > 50% of PnL from a single token
• Wash trading signals: Repeated buy/sell of same token with minimal price movement

Risk Score Calculation

risk_score = 0  # 0 = low risk, 100 = high risk

if wallet_age_days < 14:
    risk_score += 25
if top_trade_pnl_pct > 0.5:
    risk_score += 20
if recent_pf < historical_pf * 0.7:
    risk_score += 15
if bot_probability > 0.7:
    risk_score += 15
if win_rate > 0.8:
    risk_score += 10
if unique_tokens < 5:
    risk_score += 15

Quick Start

Profile a Single Wallet

# Set environment variables
# export WALLET_ADDRESS=YourTargetWallet...
# export ST_API_KEY=your_solanatracker_key  (optional)

python scripts/profile_wallet.py
# Or use demo mode:
python scripts/profile_wallet.py --demo

Compare Multiple Wallets

# export WALLET_ADDRESSES=Wallet1...,Wallet2...,Wallet3...
# export ST_API_KEY=your_solanatracker_key  (optional)
