 # vike-smart-money-discovery
 
-Composite playbook — combines wallet leaderboards + token-side buyer list + label inspection.
+Composite playbook built on `token screener --smart-money-only`. Smart money here means the cohort behind the screener's `smart_inflow` and `--smart-money-only`, which exist for **Ethereum only** (a 400 on bsc and base).
+
+**What this can and cannot say.** It can say which tokens the cohort is flowing into and how much, and who the biggest net buyers of a token are. It cannot list which of those buyers belong to the cohort: no tool returns cohort membership. State that limit in the answer.
 
 ## Workflow
 
-### A. Top realized-PnL wallets on a chain
+### A. Which tokens is the cohort buying?
 
 ```bash
-vike-data wallet discover --sort pnl --window 90d --chain ethereum --size 20 --json
+vike-data token screener --chain ethereum --window 7d --sort smart_inflow --smart-money-only --limit 100 --json
 ```
 
-Keep only rows where:
-- `realized_pnl_usd > 100_000` (real conviction, not noise)
-- `tx_count > 20` (not a single lucky trade)
-- `label` is empty OR not a known CEX (these are real wallets, not exchanges)
-
-That set = your "smart money universe" for the next step.
-
-### B. Cross-reference with a specific token
+- Skip the row `0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000`: it is the native coin, not a token you can drill into.
+- Rows carry `token_address` (the `symbol` is often blank): identify tokens by address, and resolve names with `vike-data token search`.
+- If the user named a token: resolve it (`vike-data token search <symbol> --limit 3 --json`) and look for its `token_address` in the rows. Present means the cohort moved it; absent from the top 100 means no visible cohort inflow in that window.
 
-If the user asks about a specific token, resolve it first:
+### B. Who is accumulating it?
 
 ```bash
-vike-data token search <symbol> --chain <chain> --limit 3 --json
+vike-data token transfers <addr> --tab bought --period 7d --json
 ```
 
-Then list its recent buyers:
+The list is the **top 10 by volume**, not the cohort. **Rank on `net_tokens`**, not `bought`: `bought` counts every inbound transfer, flash-loan and router round trips included. Keep rows with a clearly positive `net_tokens`; drop rows where `net_tokens` is near zero.
+
+### C. Strip the intermediaries
 
 ```bash
-vike-data token transfers <addr> --tab bought --period 7d --chain <chain> --json
+vike-data wallet batch <addr1> <addr2> ... --json
 ```
 
-**Intersect** the buyer addresses with your smart-money universe from step A. Any overlap = a smart-money wallet currently accumulating this token.
-
-### C. Profile each match
+Drop rows labelled `cex`, `dex`, router or contract. What is left are the real net buyers of the token.
 
-For every overlap address, run:
+### D. Profile the survivors (cap at 5)
 
 ```bash
 vike-data wallet summary <addr> --json
 ```
 
-Report:
-- Address
-- Known label (if any)
-- 90d realized PnL
-- 7d net flow on this token
-- 30d total volume
+Report address, label (if any), the token's `net_tokens` and `net_usd` over the window, and the wallet's 30d volume.
 
 ## Verdict template
 
-> **Smart-money take on $TOKEN:** N of top-20 90d-PnL wallets (>$100k realized) bought $TOKEN in the last 7 days. Strongest names: `<addr1> (+$X PnL, label?)`, `<addr2> ...`. Aggregate net flow into $TOKEN from this cohort: $Y. **Read: accumulation / churn / no-signal.**
+> **Smart-money take on $TOKEN (7d):** the cohort's `smart_inflow` into $TOKEN is $Y (screener rank #R by `smart_inflow`). Among the top-10 net buyers, N survive the label filter; the largest are `<addr1> (net_tokens X, label?)`. **Read: accumulation / churn / no-signal.** The cohort members themselves are not listed by any tool.
 
 ## Anti-patterns
 
-- Don't accept any wallet labeled as a CEX (binance/coinbase/bybit/etc.) as "smart money" — they're aggregators.
-- Don't lower the PnL threshold to <$50k just to find more matches; below that, signal-to-noise is poor.
-- Single-token wallets (`unique_tokens < 3`) are usually airdrop-flippers, not strategic.
+- Don't rank wallets by `wallet discover --sort pnl` and intersect them with a token's buyers: `realized_pnl` is stored wrongly for many wallets and is only an ordering key, and the overlap with a 10-row buyer list is almost always empty.
+- Don't accept any wallet labeled as a CEX (binance/coinbase/bybit/etc.) as "smart money": they are aggregators.
+- Don't use `--window 24h` for the screen: smart money usually positions before the 24h window.
+- Single-token wallets (`tokens_traded < 3` in `wallet summary`) are usually airdrop-flippers, not strategic.
 
 ## Cost note

 ## Reading
 
-- **High volume + balanced in/out** = churn (DEX MM, arb bots). Low signal.
-- **High volume + strong net_inflow** = real demand. Worth investigating.
-- **Strong holder growth + flat volume** = small buys, distribution widening. Often early signal.
-- **`smart_inflow` mode** + high values + low overall volume = cohort is positioned BEFORE retail. Highest-conviction signal in the tool.
+- **High volume + `in_usd` ≈ `out_usd`** = churn (DEX MM, arb bots). Low signal. If `in_usd` equals `out_usd` to the cent and `net_flow_usd` is exactly `0.0`, the figure is almost certainly transfer volume counted on both sides, not a quiet token.
+- **High volume + strong `net_flow_usd`** = real demand. Worth investigating with `vike-data token transfers`.
+- **Many active wallets + flat volume** = small transactions spread widely (airdrop claims also look like this).
+- **`smart_inflow` + high values + low overall volume** = cohort positioned before retail. A screen to start from, not a verdict: confirm with `token transfers`.
 
 ## Filter tips
 
 | Goal | Filters |
 |---|---|
-| "Rising memecoins" | `--window 24h --sort holders --min-holders 50 --min-volume 50000` |
-| "Mid-cap alpha" | `--sort smart_inflow --min-volume 500000 --smart-money-only` |
-| "What's getting dumped" | `--sort net_inflow` then reverse — bottom rows have biggest outflows |
+| "Busy memecoins" | `--window 24h --sort holders --min-holders 50 --min-volume 50000` |
+| "Mid-cap smart-money inflow" | `--sort smart_inflow --min-volume 500000 --smart-money-only` |
+| "What's getting dumped" | **Not answerable from the screener** (no ascending sort, no outflow rank). For one known token use `vike-data token transfers <addr> --tab sold` |

-- High `usd_value` with low `tx_count` = a single large discretionary trade. Worth investigating with `vike-data wallet summary <address>`.
-- Many small transfers from labeled exchanges = retail flow via that CEX (Binance, Coinbase, etc.).
+- **`bought` is every inbound transfer, not purchases.** It includes flash-loan and router round trips. A wallet at the top of `--tab bought` with `bought ≈ sold` and `net_tokens ≈ 0` is a bot or venue passing tokens through, not a buyer. **Rank and judge by `net_tokens`** (bought − sold): positive = net accumulator, negative = net distributor.
+- **Signs differ by convention.** `net_usd = usd_received − usd_spent`, so a net buyer has `net_tokens > 0` and `net_usd < 0`, and a net seller has `net_usd > 0`. Do not read a positive `net_usd` as "bought".
+- The two sides of the same period are separate top-10 lists. The same wallet in both = market maker / churn, not a signal.
+- The window ends at the token's newest PRICED row, not at the current time. For an illiquid token it can be hours behind "now".
+- Many small transfers from labeled exchanges = retail flow via that CEX.
+- The native coin appears as `0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000` in the screener and has no buyers here. Pass a contract address.
 
 ## Anti-patterns
 
-- Don't request `--chain all` unless you really need cross-chain — it's slower and returns more rows.
+- Don't call a wallet a buyer or seller from `bought` / `sold` alone. Check `net_tokens`.
+- Don't request `--chain all` unless you really need cross-chain: it maps the address to the token's address on each chain and is slower.
 - 1h period is sparse for low-liquidity tokens. Use 24h as the default starting window.

-Holdings sorted by `usd_value` descending.
+Holdings are sorted by `usd_value` descending with unpriced rows (the native coin among them) last. `chain_errors` appears only when a requested chain was refused or failed.
 
 ## Reading
 
-- `total_usd` = sum across all chains scanned. Wallet might still hold value on chains not scanned (e.g. zkSync, Linea) — say so when relevant.
+- **`usd_value: null` is a holding, not an error**: the token has no price feed. `total_usd` sums only priced holdings, so read it as a floor, never as net worth, and never infer "worthless" from a null.
+- **The chain's native coin (ETH, BNB) is a row** with `usd_value: null`, and it is **left out of `total_usd`**. Report the native balance from its own `balance` field. It is always listed, whatever `--min-usd` says.
+- **Any `--min-usd` above 0 also drops unpriced holdings** (an unpriced holding cannot show it clears the floor). `--min-usd 0` lists everything, including airdrop spam.
+- `total_usd` covers `chains_scanned` only. The wallet may hold value on chains the tool does not scan: say so when relevant.
 - Stablecoin-heavy wallet → likely waiting for a buy / parked dry powder
 - WETH/WBTC + LSTs (stETH, wstETH, rETH) → "saver" wallet, low-risk
 - 50+ random tokens → airdrop farmer
-- Empty `holdings` array → either no balance OR the address hasn't been indexed yet (very new wallets)
+- Empty `holdings` array → no priced balance above the floor, or a very new wallet we have not seen yet.
 
 ## Anti-patterns
 
-- This is ERC-20 only — does NOT include native ETH/BNB/MATIC (would need separate calls; not in our current tool surface). Mention this when reporting "total holdings".
+- Don't report `total_usd` as the wallet's value without "of priced tokens" and the native balance next to it.
 - For wallets with 100+ tokens, the response is large — use `--min-usd 100` or higher to focus on meaningful holdings.
+- This is a point-in-time read, not history. For how the wallet got here use `wallet pnl-history`.

-`found: false` = address has no labels AND no 30d activity in our DB (might be brand-new wallet or one we haven't indexed).
+## Chain behaviour
+
+- `--chain` picks the label table and the 30-day flow table. Before 2026-10-19 it was accepted and ignored (`bsc` and `base` returned Ethereum labels), so earlier results for those chains are Ethereum's.
+- **The four 30-day fields (`net_30d_usd`, `volume_30d_usd`, `tx_30d`, `tokens_30d_count`) are `null`, not 0,** where we hold no flow data: every `bsc` address, and any address we have no label for (`found: false`). Don't report null as zero activity.
+- `found: false` = the address is not in that chain's label table. It is not proof the wallet is new or clean.
 
 ## Reading
 
 - Filter to `wallet_type = "user"` to find real-people addresses worth investigating further
-- Any `risk_flag != null` → flag prominently in any user-facing report
-- High `volume_30d_usd` but `tx_30d = 0` shouldn't happen — if it does, indicates stale aggregate; recompute
-- `entity = "Binance"` + `wallet_type = "cex"` rows in a "smart money" list = false positives (CEX deposits aren't traders)
+- Any `risk_flag` that is non-empty → flag prominently in any user-facing report
+- `entity = "binance"` + `wallet_type = "cex"` rows in a "smart money" list = false positives (CEX deposits aren't traders)
+- Use it to label the output of `token transfers`, `wallet counterparties`, `wallet discover` or `token holders` in one call
 
 ## Anti-patterns
 
-- Don't run individual `vike-data wallet summary` in a loop for >5 addresses — this batch is ~20× faster
-- Don't pass mixed-case addresses inconsistently — they're normalised but cleaner CSVs help readers
-- Don't expect lifetime data — this is 30d window. For lifetime use the individual `wallet summary`
+- Don't run individual `vike-data wallet summary` in a loop for >5 addresses — this batch is far faster for labels and 30d activity
