# Monitoring Whale Activity
## Contents
[Overview](#overview) | [Prerequisites](#prerequisites) | [Instructions](#instructions) | [Output](#output) | [Error Handling](#error-handling) | [Examples](#examples) | [Resources](#resources)
## Overview
Track large cryptocurrency transactions and whale wallet movements across multiple blockchains. Monitor exchange inflows/outflows, manage custom watchlists, and identify known wallets (exchanges, funds, bridges).
## Prerequisites
1. Install Python 3.8+ with requests library
2. Optionally obtain Whale Alert API key (free tier available for live data)
3. Verify internet access for API calls
## Instructions
### Step 1: Navigate to Scripts Directory
```bash
cd ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts
```
### Step 2: Choose a Command
1. View recent whale transactions: `python whale_monitor.py recent`
2. Analyze exchange flows: `python whale_monitor.py flows`
3. Manage watchlist: `python whale_monitor.py watchlist`
4. Track specific wallet: `python whale_monitor.py track 0x123...`
5. Search known labels: `python whale_monitor.py labels --query binance`
Alternatively, customize with chain and threshold filters:
```bash
python whale_monitor.py recent --chain ethereum # Specific chain
python whale_monitor.py recent --min-value 10000000 # 10000000: $10M+ only
python whale_monitor.py watch 0x123... --name "My Whale" # Add to watchlist
python whale_monitor.py labels --type exchange # Or use type filter
```
### Step 3: Interpret Results
**Transaction Types:**
- DEPOSIT: Sent to exchange (potential selling pressure)
- WITHDRAWAL: From exchange (accumulation signal)
- TRANSFER: Wallet to wallet (whale movement)
**Flow Analysis:**
- Net positive flow to exchanges = selling pressure
- Net negative flow from exchanges = buying pressure
## Output
- Real-time whale transactions with USD values
- Labeled wallets (exchanges, funds, bridges, protocols)
- Exchange inflow/outflow summaries
- Custom watchlist tracking
- JSON, table, or alert format output (`--format json`)
## Error Handling
See `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/errors.md` for:
- API rate limit handling and backoff
- Network timeout recovery
- Invalid address format validation
- Price service fallbacks
## Examples
**Example 1: View $10M+ whale transactions on Ethereum:**
```bash
python whale_monitor.py recent --chain ethereum --min-value 10000000 # 10000000 = 10M limit
```
**Example 2: Analyze if whales are selling:**
```bash
python whale_monitor.py flows --chain ethereum
```
**Example 3: Track a known whale wallet:**
```bash
python whale_monitor.py watch 0x28c6c... --name "Binance Cold"
python whale_monitor.py track 0x28c6c...
```
**Example 4: Export to JSON for further analysis:**
```bash
python whale_monitor.py recent --format json > whales.json
```
