Obscure yet powerful! Ten trading tools covering wallet tracking, real-time NFT trading, funding rates.

Data platforms like Nansen, Dune Analytics, and DefiLlama are commonly used tools for cryptocurrency investors, but crypto community member Sergio Gallardo shared ten somewhat obscure yet highly practical research tools.

The following content is compiled from Sergio Gallardo's Twitter, for detailed information and discussion, please refer to the original link.

1. Ethereum Tracking Bot

EtherDrop Bot is built by data monitoring agency 0xCheck, similar to Nansen's transaction alerts.

This monitoring bot allows users to set up transaction alerts for specific wallets, liquidity pools, or any NFT projects on Telegram for free.

2. Discord Wallet Tracker

Wallet Tracker Discord is created by slurp, tracking over 500 popular wallets, including funds, exchanges, protocol treasuries, founders, and specific crypto KOL addresses.

3. Governance Proposal Tracking

Tally can track real-time governance proposals on various EVM chains and is also a great tool for establishing DAOs.

4. Project Announcement Tracker

Apophenia’s Blog Scrapper is built by InternDAO interns. When major projects update their platforms or blogs, this bot sends notifications via Telegram.

As many projects update their blogs before tweeting, this tracker can be ahead of the game.

5. Token Unlocking

Token Unlocks is a favorite token unlocking tool, with a very intuitive interface. When you click on a project, it also provides a lot of relevant tokenomics information.

6. Accessing Bloomberg Terminal

OpenBB Terminal is an investment research program that allows users to access many Bloomberg Terminal functions for free within a Python environment.

More details:

A Bloomberg Terminal costs $24,000 per year.

It's the portal to all the world's financial data.

Unaffordable for 99% of us.

Reserved for the Wall Street elite to outfox the normal investor.

Until now:

7. MEV and On-Chain Analysis

EigenPhi is one of my favorite MEV tools, tracking Ethereum sandwich attacks, flash loans, and identifying malicious tokens on various websites.

8. Deep Dive into MEV

Zeromev categorizes the severity of MEV's harm to users, distinguishing the most aggressive MEV types and others, and visualizes them through wallets and block transformations.

Here is a video covering the basics of Zeromev:

9. Finding DeFi Yields

Coindix tracks over 10,000 yield farms across 27 blockchains, allowing users to filter by protocol, blockchain, yield type, or TVL.

As shown below, it sorts all stablecoin yield farms with TVL over $1 million by APY from high to low.

10. Derivatives Data Tracking

Laevitas is a data analytics platform, possibly my go-to app for tracking cryptocurrency derivatives and funding rates.

Their interface offers many interesting data points, so it's worth exploring on the platform.
