Whale Trending: Wallet and Scan

Whale Trending lesson

Separate wallet context from the purchase

A wallet balance and a purchase amount answer different questions. Read the alert first, then use a scan for additional details and the contract address.

Wallet balance

A balance describes funds held by a wallet at the relevant displayed context. It does not by itself state how much was purchased.

Purchase amount

A purchase amount describes the transaction amount shown in the alert. Do not substitute it for the wallet balance.

Safe reading order

Read the alert and identify the token reference.
On the original WT entry post, select Scan in the action row below the post for additional details and the contract address (CA).
Verify the token address and chain before following any next step.
Use CHART in Terminal only after that verification.
