What a Big Buys alert means

A Big Buys alert means a large single purchase hit the token.

Put simply, wallet alerts show what money did, which is harder to fake than a post. Silk Yard follows Big Buys on Solana and asks whose wallets they are and what they did before.

A buy is a fact. The reason behind it is a guess. Silk Yard uses the Big Buys channel for the facts and keeps the guessing for later.

First look: Check whether several buying wallets were funded from one source a few minutes earlier. Open the buying wallet and read its last twenty trades before trusting the buy.

What passes here

Filters are a choice, not a truth. This is the choice Silk Yard made for Big Buys alerts:

  • market cap at least $10.0K
  • liquidity at least $10.0K
  • at least 50 holders
  • top-10 wallets holding at most 25 %

At build time the lane held 20 recent alerts covering about 4 hours; 10 of them cleared the screen. Median values for the passing alerts: cap $3.34M, liquidity $488.9K, holders 4536. 5 of the 20 lane alerts had liquidity below a tenth of their market cap, which makes exits expensive. The median top-10 holder share across the lane was 18 %.

Values measured on 2026-09-24 from the Empire feed. The screen is a filter, not a recommendation.

Our method

Run these on every contract, in this order.

Step 1

Compare volume with liquidity and holder growth.

Step 2

Look at what the creator address launched before and how those ended.

Step 3

Try a small sell early; some tokens restrict selling.

Step 4

Confirm on the chart which pool the price comes from and how deep it is.

Step 5

Read the top ten holders and remove pools and burn addresses from the count.
