How Cheetah Smart-Money Alerts Work
Opt-in alerts on tracked + curated wallets, and their limits.
Cheetah smart-money alerts are opt-in, real-time notifications that fire when wallets you track, plus a curated set of smart-money traders, make important on-chain memecoin moves. An AI-tracked pool of top wallets also highlights confluence, when several notable wallets converge on the same token. Alerts are a heads-up you review yourself, not a buy signal.
Key takeaways
- Alerts are opt-in, nothing is pushed to you until you turn them on.
- They draw on two sources: the wallets you add yourself, plus a curated smart-money set.
- An AI-tracked top-wallet pool flags confluence when several notable wallets buy the same token.
- A typical alert names the wallet(s), the token, and whether it was a buy or a sell.
- Confluence raises the odds a token is interesting, not that it will go up, always review it yourself.
What smart-money alerts are
Smart-money alerts are opt-in, real-time notifications that fire when wallets you follow, plus a curated set of smart-money traders, make important on-chain memecoin moves. Instead of refreshing an explorer, you get pinged the moment something worth your attention happens. New to Cheetah? Start with getting started with Cheetah.
Where the signal comes from
Alerts draw on sources working together:
- The wallets you add yourself via the wallet tracker , your own watchlist of traders.
- A curated set of smart-money traders Cheetah surfaces, so you benefit from wallets you might not have found on your own.
- Confluence signals from an AI-tracked pool of top wallets, when several notable wallets converge on the same token, that agreement is highlighted as a stronger signal than any single move.
For how the underlying watchlist is built, see how Cheetah wallet tracking works.
Why confluence matters
One wallet buying a token is a data point. Several independent top wallets buying the same token in a short window is confluence, a pattern that is harder to dismiss as noise. It is still not a guarantee, but it is a more meaningful signal than a lone transaction, which is why Cheetah flags it distinctly so you can prioritize it.
Turning alerts on
Opt in, then tune what you hear
Alerts are off until you enable them, so nothing reaches you without your say-so. Once on, build your watchlist in the wallet tracker and focus alerts on the activity that matters to you, for example a tracked wallet buying, or confluence forming across the top-wallet pool. If you want hands-off entries from a specific wallet, connect it to copy trading instead of trading each alert by hand.
What an alert looks like
A typical alert tells you which wallet, or how many wallets, moved, the token involved, and whether it was a buy or a sell: enough context to jump in and evaluate the token quickly. When confluence forms, the alert flags that multiple tracked or smart-money wallets are converging. From there you review the market data and decide for yourself.
Limits before you act
Alerts are a heads-up, not a blind buy signal. Keep these limits in mind:
- Timing: alerts are based on on-chain activity, so a move has already happened by the time you see it, the price may have moved with it.
- Not a recommendation: a tracked or smart-money wallet buying does not mean you should buy. Those wallets take losses too.
- No certainty from confluence: several wallets agreeing raises the odds a token is interesting, not that it will go up.
- Always do your own review, check liquidity, holders and rug-check signals before committing SOL.
Frequently asked questions
How do Cheetah smart-money alerts work?
They are opt-in, real-time notifications that fire when wallets you track, plus a curated set of smart-money traders, make important on-chain moves. An AI-tracked pool of top wallets also highlights confluence when several notable wallets converge on the same token.
Are the alerts on by default?
No. Smart-money alerts are opt-in and stay off until you enable them. Nothing is pushed to you without your say-so.
What does confluence mean in an alert?
Confluence is when several independent top wallets buy the same token in a short window. Cheetah flags that agreement as a stronger signal than any single move, but it still is not a guarantee the token will go up.
Should I buy whatever a smart-money alert shows?
No. Alerts are a heads-up, not a recommendation. A move has already happened by the time you see it, and smart-money wallets take losses too. Always review the token’s liquidity, holders and rug-check signals before committing SOL.
