How we vet whales (and delist the bad ones)

A copy-trading signal is only as good as the wallet behind it. SONAR’s discovery engine continuously scores wallets and removes ones that no longer earn their grade.

What we check

• Real performance: realized ROI and win rate over multiple windows, not cherry-picked screenshots.
• Wash & insider patterns: too-perfect records and self-trading get flagged.
• Sellability: can copiers actually exit the tokens this wallet trades? Honeypots and rugs are filtered.
• Out-of-sample: we test whether performance holds on data the wallet wasn’t selected on.

We delist openly

When a whale goes inactive or its edge fades, it moves to the graveyard with the reason. Removing bad whales is as important as adding good ones.
