If you’re still relying on Twitter threads and hopium to find the next 100x altcoin, you’re already late.
The real winners? They’re watching wallets, tracking inflows, and front-running hype using best on-chain data — not guessing. Whether it’s a stealth Base token or a memecoin farming liquidity on Solana, smart traders are sniping before the candles even print.
Here’s the list of top on-chain tools that real degens use in 2025 to identify potential 100x altcoins — and how to use them without wasting time on noise.
1. Arkham Intelligence
Track wallet flows from whales, exchanges, and VCs
Arkham is no longer optional — it’s the first stop for serious sniper-level plays.
-
Tag wallets by behavior (airdrop farmers, founders, VCs)
-
See when insiders buy low caps before announcements
-
Monitor wallets that previously held PEPE, FART, or $JEO and copy their future plays
Pro tip: Follow wallets that interact with fresh Base and Sonic contracts hours before they trend. You’ll catch launches pre-Twitter.
2. Nansen.ai
Wallet intelligence layered with token trends
Nansen tracks smart money movements across Ethereum, BNB, and now Base and Solana. Their “Hot Contracts” and “Token God Mode” tabs are gold for altcoin hunters.
-
Identify which wallets are consistently early
-
Filter by chain, token category (memes, L2s, AI plays)
-
Front-run new narratives before CT catches on
Conversion tactic: Pair Nansen’s top buys with a sniper bot like BananaGun and set auto-sell targets — no need to babysit pumps.
3. Dune Dashboards (Custom)
Free, raw data — if you know what to look for
Dune isn’t a product, it’s a playground. Traders build open dashboards tracking everything from Base memecoins to LP adds on Sonic.
-
Spot early liquidity adds
-
Monitor token distribution for red flags (or perfect degen structure)
-
Create alerts when liquidity thresholds hit your sniping criteria
You don’t need SQL to use it — just clone someone else’s alpha dashboard.
4. Bubble Maps by Bubblemaps
Visualize token holder collusion and rug risk
Want to avoid honeypots? Or identify diamond-hand whales? Use Bubble Maps to visually audit token holder clusters.
-
Legit plays = dispersed holders with staggered entries
-
Rugs = tightly grouped wallets with most supply
Traders now use Bubble Maps before sniping a token — especially on stealth Sonic launches or mid-volume Base tokens.
5. Dexscreener Alerts + Telegram Bots
When paired right, they’re real-time alpha machines
While not strictly on-chain, pairing Dexscreener alerts with wallet-watching bots lets you react instantly to real inflows.
-
Set filters by volume, liquidity adds, or % gainers
-
Add Telegram bot commands to auto-ping when filters hit
-
Combine with BananaGun for real-time sniping across Base, Solana, Sonic, ETH, BSC
Example Setup:
Dexscreener → Notifies you of a fresh 15 ETH LP on a Base meme →
You confirm smart wallet buys on Arkham →
BananaGun auto-snipes → You hit a 3x in minutes.
6. Scanners Built Into Sniper Bots (BananaGun, Maestro)
On-chain signal + execution engine = no delay
Bots like BananaGun now include built-in scanners that monitor:
-
Contract creation
-
LP adds
-
Volume spikes
-
Gas anomalies
And they execute instantly, using gas presets across ETH, Base, Sonic, and BNB. Smart traders aren’t just watching the data — they’re acting on it in under 1 second.
Why it matters: In 2025, manual traders get dumped on. Bots + on-chain data = sniper alpha that prints.
7. Cielo
Real-time wallet tracking + alert intelligence = sniper’s edge
Cielo isn’t just another wallet tool — it’s the sniper’s radar in 2025. It tracks exactly what smart wallets are doing, as they’re doing it.
-
Set alerts for specific wallets (e.g., meme token devs, sniper wallets, fund managers)
-
Instantly know when a tagged wallet adds LP, buys a token, or interacts with a contract
-
Integrates with Telegram for second-by-second updates
Why it matters:
Traders using Cielo catch early moves before charts move. Instead of waiting for a tweet, you get pinged the second an address deploys a stealth meme or buys into a new Base alt.
Sniper example:
A wallet that previously sniped early FART and TURBO starts interacting with a new Sonic token →
You get pinged via Cielo →
You verify with Bubble Maps →
Auto-snipe using BananaGun →
You’re in before anyone’s even named the coin.
Real-World Use Case:
How a Trader Caught a 75x on Sonic
A new meme launched stealth on Sonic. Here’s what happened:
-
Arkham flagged wallet inflows from an early JEO sniper
-
Dune dashboard picked up the LP add
-
Trader verified token distribution via Bubble Maps
-
BananaGun executed a buy + auto-sell at 50% volume spike
-
Result: 75x in 12 hours, while CT was still asking “is this legit?”
FAQs: Sniping with On-Chain Tools
Q: Can beginners use these tools?
Yes. Most platforms now offer UI dashboards. You don’t need to write code, but you do need to act fast.
Q: Which chain is best for on-chain sniping in 2025?
Base and Sonic are top right now. Low gas + high narrative momentum.
Q: Should I combine tools or stick with one?
Always combine. Data without execution is wasted. Tools like BananaGun let you act instantly once your data confirms a play.
