How to spot connected wallets

Find relationships that aren’t obvious

Spotting connected wallets is about finding patterns in how wallets interact, move funds, and behave over time.

You don’t need to check every transaction, focus on the signals that reveal relationships.


Step 1: Look for direct connections

Start by checking if wallets are directly linked.

  • Lines between wallets show transactions

  • Strong connections can indicate related wallets

Ask yourself: Are these wallets interacting with each other?


Step 2: Identify clusters

Look for groups of wallets that are closely connected.

  • Clusters = wallets that interact frequently

  • Large clusters can indicate groups working together

Ask yourself: Do these wallets form a group?


Step 3: Check for proxy connections

Turn on proxy nodes to uncover hidden relationships.

  • Reveals indirect connections

  • Shows shared intermediaries or funding paths

Ask yourself: Are these wallets connected behind the scenes?


Step 4: Look for shared behavior

Use behavioral tags to spot patterns.

Look for:

  • Wallets funded around the same time

  • Newly created wallets

  • Repeated behavior across multiple wallets

Ask yourself: Do these wallets act the same way?


Step 5: Go back in time

Use historical mode to see how connections formed.

  • Track when wallets were funded

  • See how clusters developed

Ask yourself: Did these wallets start together?


What to watch out for

Not all connections mean coordination.

Be careful with:

  • Exchange wallets

  • Common funding sources

  • Normal trading activity

Always look at the full context


Quick checklist

Before concluding wallets are connected:

  • Are they directly linked?

  • Do they form clusters?

  • Do proxy nodes reveal hidden links?

  • Do they behave similarly?

  • Did they appear at the same time?

The more signals you see, the stronger the connection.
