Since entering the crypto world in 2018, I have tried thousands of tools.
But to be honest, very few truly bring 'Alpha' returns.
Today, I share 9 secret tools that I have personally tested and found effective, which continuously help me discover early projects, avoid pitfalls, and seize opportunities.
At the end, I will provide some free access methods for certain tools.
1. Candlestick Inspector tool from Nansen
🔍 Use: Track 'informed' wallets
I use this tool to identify wallets that bought or sold in advance before major market events occur.
By observing the movements of these wallets, I can sense market trends in advance.
📍 Practical demonstrations can be viewed on Nansen.
2. Tokenless Mindshare module from Dexu
🧠 Use: Discover potential airdrop opportunities
This module allows me to filter out two types of 'under-explored' projects using data:
Low volume + large financing = high potential niche projects
High volume + unannounced airdrop = high probability airdrop expectation
3. Whale Feed from AssetDash
🐋 Use: Real-time tracking of whale movements
Most whale tracking tools are too slow. This is one of the few tools that can real-time discover trending Tokens and Memecoins as they emerge.
Especially useful for short-term trading.
4. Research report tool from Unifai Network
📄 Use: Generate a complete project report in 3 minutes
More professional than ChatGPT, as it is specifically designed for Web3. Input the project name to obtain a well-structured, data-rich research report.
Greatly improves my efficiency in researching new Narratives.
5. Bubblemaps V2 (limited invitation, access method provided at the end)
🔐 Use: Prevent against 'Rug Pull'
Before buying any new Token, I must use this tool to check its holding structure and capital flow.
Opacity = Red light warning.
This tool directly helped me avoid multiple scams.
6. Stablecoin yield summary from @phtevenstrong
📊 Use: Steady income channels during bear markets
The market doesn’t go up every day. He compiles the latest DeFi stablecoin yield opportunities every week, helping me to continue compounding during sideways or downward periods.
7. Weekly Alpha calendar from DeFi Investor
🗓️ Use: Not just a calendar, but a real intelligence summary
Not just general event reminders, but filtering out the most noteworthy events in the industry, such as important protocol updates, major unlocks, airdrop snapshots, etc.
8. Financing project panel from DefiLlama (Raises)
🚀 Use: Gain early insights into new narratives
I regularly check new financing projects, focusing on:
Large amount of financing in the Seed round
Project logic aligns with the new Narrative
Then quickly read the whitepaper to position myself in advance.
9. Leaderboard from Ethos Network
👀 Use: Filter trustworthy opinions (and identify those that are not trustworthy)
Currently, the most useful aspect of this platform is:
→ Helps me determine who is 'not worth paying attention to'.
In the future, as the community grows, it will become a trusted evaluation aggregation platform.
Summary:
In the past 6 years, I have tried too many tools. Most are just beautifully packaged with limited value.
And these 9 are the 'Alpha' tools that I use daily and that truly bring value.
✅ They help me discover opportunities in advance
✅ Avoid risks
✅ Improve decision-making efficiency
✅ Steady accumulation of returns
