# Deep Blue Alpha — Ethereum Whale Intelligence Platform
> https://deepbluealpha.io

## About
Deep Blue Alpha is a real-time Ethereum whale tracking and analytics platform.
It monitors thousands of whale wallets on the Ethereum blockchain, tracking
their DEX swaps and their deposits to / withdrawals from centralized exchanges
in real time. Most tracked whale flow is exchange transfers, not swaps, and the
site labels the two separately. The platform provides live transaction feeds,
market trend analysis, whale sentiment scoring, and daily intelligence reports.

## Whale Sentiment Index (daily 0-100 score)
The Whale Sentiment Index summarizes whether tracked Ethereum whale flow leaned
to the accumulation side (above 50) or the distribution side (below 50) over the
trailing 24 hours. Accumulation side = tokens leaving exchanges or bought on a
DEX; distribution side = tokens sent to exchanges or sold on a DEX. It blends
three signals, each compared with its own recent history: the accumulation-side
share of whale flow, whether coins are leaving or arriving on exchanges, and how
much whale money is parked in stablecoins (the largest driver).
Quote-side assets (ETH, WETH, stablecoins, wrapped BTC) are excluded so each
move counts once. Live score, methodology, and an embeddable badge:

## For business / data buyers
Facts as of 2026-10-17. Ethereum mainnet only.
- **What the data is:** moves by 20,000+ tracked Ethereum whale wallets (chosen by holdings of about $150K+ in ETH and volatile tokens, not by trading volume). Every move is labeled as an exchange withdrawal (CEX_WITHDRAW), exchange deposit (CEX_DEPOSIT) or DEX swap (SWAP_BUY / SWAP_SELL), with tx hash, wallet, token, USD value at the time and venue type. An exchange withdrawal is not a purchase; only SWAP rows are trades.
- **History:** the Business daily data files go back to July 1, 2026 for DEX swaps and September 6, 2026 for exchange moves (full coverage from September 6; DEX coverage was thinner in July and August, and earlier days are marked coverage: dex_only in their manifest). Tracked-whale moves are kept permanently; exchange-flow rows for wallets outside the tracked set are kept for a rolling 30 days.
- **Graded whale signals (Business):** every whale signal Deep Blue Alpha has fired since April 2026, with the coin's % price change 1, 7 and 30 days after the signal and ETH's change over the same window, graded on closing prices (never peaks). Daily file dba_graded_signals.csv.gz plus GET /api/v1/signals and GET /api/v1/signals/summary. Past results do not predict future results; not investment advice.
- **Backtests by API (Business):** POST /api/backtest/run accepts a Business API key (X-API-Key header); in the browser it needs Alpha or higher.
- **Exchange names:** every exchange move in /api/v1/transactions, the Business daily files and webhooks carries an exchange field naming the exchange (Binance, Coinbase, OKX, Kraken, etc.), empty on DEX swaps. Heuristic labels from our exchange address list.
- **Free today:** dashboard and free account; public no-key endpoints under /api/v1/public/; MCP server at /mcp; free 7-day sample file at https://deepbluealpha.io/data/sample.csv (top 10 coins by tracked-whale volume, up to 5,000 rows, refreshed weekly).
- **Whale plan (personal use):** $79.99/month (or $709/year) includes the read-only REST API at https://deepbluealpha.io/api/v1 — 25,000 calls/day, X-API-Key header, JSON, OpenAPI spec at https://deepbluealpha.io/static/openapi/deepbluealpha-api.json. Docs: https://deepbluealpha.io/api-docs
- **Business plan:** $299/month or $2,990/year, card or crypto. Commercial use inside the customer's own organization, 250,000 API calls/day across up to 5 API keys, real-time signed webhooks (HMAC-SHA256) for every tracked whale move with the exchange named on exchange moves, daily data files (CSV + JSONL; exchange moves from Sep 6, 2026, DEX swaps from Jul 1, 2026), graded whale signals (file + /api/v1/signals), backtests by API key, priority email support. Page: https://deepbluealpha.io/business
- **Publishing on Business:** Business customers may publish aggregated figures and charts (whale totals, net flows, signal results) in newsletters, research notes and client reports, with the credit "Data: Deep Blue Alpha".
- **Enterprise:** from $999/month, quoted by email (team@deepbluealpha.io). Adds redistribution / embedding rights (sharing raw move-level data, data files or live feeds, or apps and terminals that display the data) and custom feeds.
- **How buying works:** self-serve and email only. No sales calls, meetings or demos.
- **Methodology and limits:** https://deepbluealpha.io/data/methodology — labels are heuristics from known address lists; coverage is the tracked set, not every wallet; moves can arrive late or be revised.

## Whale Tracking Methodology
Wallets are discovered automatically through on-chain analysis of large-value
DEX swaps and centralized-exchange transfers on Ethereum. Each wallet is
classified (individual vs contract) and tracked continuously. DEX buys and sells
are detected from Uniswap V2/V3 swap events; exchange deposits and withdrawals
are detected from transfers to and from known exchange addresses. These are
reported as separate flow types — an exchange withdrawal is not a purchase.
USD values come from real-time pricing via DexScreener.

### Whale Picks Scoring System
Tokens are ranked daily by a conviction score combining:
1. Number of unique whale wallets on the accumulation side of the token
2. Net accumulation-side flow (accumulation USD minus distribution USD)
3. Accumulation/distribution ratio across whale moves
Picks are graded after 7 days on 7-day CLOSING change from entry. Since 2026-11-01 a pick also needs a whale cluster (several tracked whales moving into the coin within a few hours) in the prior 24 hours, max 5 picks a day, and the record is compared with holding ETH over the same 7 days. Three display buckets: CONFIRMED (> +1%), FLAT (-1% to +1%), REVERSED (< -1%). Picks with no 7-day closing price are marked VOID and left out of every rate. Confirmed Rate = confirmed / (confirmed + reversed) — flat picks are excluded from the denominator. Internal data also distinguishes a "big confirmation" sub-band for moves > +10% but this is shown as the actual % alongside the chip rather than as a separate label. Entry price = average price of the tracked-whale inflow over the 72-hour window. Peak is tracked separately as a secondary 'best seen' stat. Conviction score is quality-weighted (wallet track record × base formula).
