Crypto market investors always have various ways to find wealth codes. It may be working in the Crypto field, meeting big investors, joining the Alpha Telegram group with high gold content, or exploring the data on the chain, and getting first-hand news before the Token goes online.
Among them, there is one trick that never works well—the data on the chain that never lies. In Nansen's "Exploration" section, we are committed to analyzing "smart money" addresses, which cover various fields of Crypto, and are very useful for finding Alpha.

Liquidity Providers and Staking Pioneers (First Mover LP & Staking)
Liquidity provider pioneers - the top 200 addresses based on the number of liquidity pools of a certain size, and these liquidity pools are also ranked high.
Staking Pioneers - The top 200 addresses based on the number of staking pools of a certain size, which are also ranked high.
Usually two types of addresses can be captured:
24/7 active players, always lurking on Twitter and Discord, always ready to enter the next staking pool;
There are three ways to get rich in the currency circle: be the first mover, be smarter than others, or cut leeks. Here, we recommend doing action.

Fund and Private Sale Investors
Fund – An entity that invests in and manages cryptocurrencies.
Private Sale Investors - Addresses that have received at least $100,000 from investor distributor addresses across a large number of different tokens, demonstrating on-chain evidence of investor behavior.
The scope here is slightly broader and includes advisors, angel investors, and entities that may not be funds but do asset allocation (eg media companies, consulting firms, etc.).：
A more sophisticated mining method is to track the incoming and outgoing funds. example

Smarter Liquidity Providers (LPs)
Smart Liquidity Providers - Made over $100,000 as liquidity providers and liquidity miners on Uniswap or Sushiswap. Profit calculations do not include temporary losses.
Similar to liquidity provider pioneers, these players are also focusing on liquidity supply. However, the key difference is that instead of transaction velocity, we use realized profit as the metric.

Airdrop Professionals - Addresses that have received a large amount of tokens in multiple airdrops (the value of the airdrop is based on an average of 30 days after the start of the distribution).

One has to dig a little deeper and look at the transaction histories of these addresses before listing a few that deserve attention. Here are some examples of notable projects with a fair amount of interaction:
We have no knowledge of the airdrop potential of these examples, nor do we comment on the quality of the protocols themselves. Refer to the above list as your first step on your Alpha exploration journey.

Smart NFT Trader
As the term implies - these addresses specialize in NFT transactions. Whether it's doubling an NFT from 0.1 ETH to 1 ETH, or from 30 ETH to 60 ETH, we've ranked every NFT trader's realized profit, both absolute and relative. Additionally, we only consider traders who have doubled over a certain number of NFT series, avoiding any traders who doubled by chance (such as players who made their fortunes from just one collection).

Smart NFT Hodler
We turn our attention to unrealized profits. How many addresses are sitting on a large amount of paper profits, but still hold NFT, this part is concentrated in unsold addresses.

Smart NFT early adopters
Smart NFTs are early. Early Adopters - The first 100 addresses who invested in the selected blue-chip project by the specified date and still hold the project's NFT.
"If they put all the ape NFTs in one treasury, wouldn't the smart money tag be accurate?" This is possible, we need to analyze it more carefully. Often, there will be a link between a trader's hot and cold wallets. One can look at the counterparty tables on Nansen's Wallet Profiler for some clues.
The following sample diagram of Vault Wallet:

Smart NFT Mint Players - The top 100 addresses achieved at least 5 times more profits through multiple collections in the past 60 days.
Notice:
Adding a "from: " in front of the address to make it "from:0x.... ", instead of just entering the address, can filter transactions initiated by that address. This drastically reduces the number of scam tokens that emerge.
