A $1000 crypto airdrop or another interesting decentralized solution (that really works)? Well, I’m not trying to guess your preferences but you’re more likely to choose the latter if you are from the crypto class of 2017 and older. Anything younger than that; that $1000 cashout is getting picked over anything else.
The crypto space grew faster post-2017 and if you ever wondered why, the answer is that projects finally hacked the major interest of people in this space…just like any other space where the possibility of getting rich is offered. I’ve accidentally qualified for a handful of earndrops and airdrops; Forth, Arbitrum, Celestia, and some I didn’t even bother claiming due to the ridiculous gas fees on the Ethereum blockchain. While I consider these a reward for genuine interest in projects, this is not the case for the millions of ‘crypto enthusiasts’ and ‘cutting-edge projects’ who have capitalized on the craving for free money. But before I start another paragraph, this is just one of my many rants that no one (should) care about. Don’t forget to farm your airdrop, regardless of what I say next.
But yeah, I assessed the daily activity charts of many L2 projects and testnets for L1 projects and noticed a similarity with that of a usual memecoin that an African ‘dev’ rug-pulled and is struggling to recover. Peak user activity before the airdrop and then everyone moves to the next hotspot. But that’s fine because the project team already capitalized on the ‘Two million’ active wallets. These stats get lost after launch, the reason…doesn’t fit the context of this piece.
Thousands of projects fill the crypto space, 70% didn’t exist before 2017 when even mind-blowing technologies got lost in the midst of hundreds of other high-tech decentralized solutions. Even Dogecoin – the only surviving memecoin of this era debuted some reasonable technology; one that a ‘dev’ can’t crash after an hour. But projects from this era get overshadowed by comparatively inferior new projects. Even with the bulkiness and high cost, original Ethereum DApps still score above alternatives on other new-generation networks in terms of request delivery.
Crypto has penetrated every sector that can run on the internet; Payment, AI, routine finance, health, and geography. In any case, these projects gain quick users, the popular belief is that this is driven by utility. Well, not so true when 90% wouldn’t bother about sticking to the traditional method if these ‘decentralized solutions’ aren’t laden with ‘get rich quick’ kind of promises. The user activity stats on decentralized social platforms compared with the reward value over time prove that everyone will be fine with Facebook and Twitter if these platforms don’t promise to pay them for drinking coffee.
Crypto thrives on incentives, just like any other similar system. Only issue is; these decentralized solutions couldn’t care less about delivering well-functioning applications when a community allocation in their tokenomics is enough to lure millions of users; despite the hardships of using these applications. Can blame users, everyone wants to get paid for being alive and these projects do it perfectly. One airdrop after the other and even more routine rewards. Every project leads with a token before the real product. As long as something is promised, users will flock. Rinse repeat.
If an incentive was attached to writing these rants, I’d have done more of it, but that’s not the case. So, it comes once in a while. Maybe when Bitcoin hits $80K I’ll work on the next edition of Snack Talk…if it does. To close this one out, it will be cool if projects focus on genuine utility and plausible UX.
Green Tea doesn’t always taste nice and this might be reflected in this episode. Picking it for this episode was so random, but that’s just how the whole crypto space is. We were promised a bullrun immediately the Bitcoin ETFs are approved. Not all promises get satisfied, and this one has successfully joined the list. I mean; I already planned my first payment on a gently used 2001 Honda Civic, but by the look of things, I might just get a 1998 Panda. Now I said that with much positivity. Considering that Grayscale still has thousands of GBTC waiting to be sold, the public bus service might still be all I have. I had to personalize this because anyone shorting the hell out of the whole space should be on that Lambo dream.
Alright, shake that off, we might still get the Bulls this year. It’s a halving year and some guys just made over $100 million from that XRP hack. If they put all the money in memecoins, we might just get many 100Xs and subsequently a bullrun. Dare to dream, huh? I’d get a Lambo before anything else, but I’m far from being a hacker.
The Super Bowl is just around the corner, the last time it happened, every ‘big’ crypto firm was all over the place. Safe to say we funded the Super Bowl that year. Coinbase, FTX, Crypto.com…even the Super Bowl committee must be mouth-gaped at how much money these ‘internet coin’ guys can cough out for a 4-minute advert. But that was before they learned that we buy naming rights to sports centers. No pun intended but you’d expect things to go left after all the rights we bought. This time will be different though, or I hope so.
For the third time in history, memecoins could rule another bullrun. The narratives will even be funnier this time. The good thing is, the NFT scams in the name of memecoins might not work this time. Good news, right? The rug pulls will still continue. And airdrop farmers couldn’t care less about a bullrun, it’s always raining free money in their space and every testnet can boast of hitting one million farmers…sorry users; within a month. Good to see how much difference the thoughts of making a couple of free hundreds could make for a project. A silver lining is the fact that projects are substituting private sales with the initial liquidity provided by the airdrop hype. Anyhow that money is made.
Heard the American government is selling off that Silk Road Bitcoin. Everyone seems to be hunting for that crypto money lately. Not sure what they intend to do with the money, but whenever anyone sells crypto for fiat, that Lambo dream comes to mind. The German government is seizing crypto too, this is what mass adoption looks like! The good news for this paragraph? FTX might just give you back all the money you kept on their platform before they closed the doors on everyone. Considering the amount of Bitcoin they dumped on the market recently, this should be doable.
DePIN, AI, fit in any other crypto narrative you have in mind. We are really advancing in technological terms. The surprising thing is how these projects have been in existence for years and just pick up pace when these narratives are carried by influencers. This why I hold memecoins in high esteem, they have been here for years (well, not most of them) and have managed to be a booming narrative throughout this time, especially the dog-themed ones. Not a huge fan of dogs but if that memecoin will bring in the 100X then we all love dogs. The higher the MC, the more loveable the dog breed becomes.
Alright, just to end this long screaming and go back to something more beneficial to society, I’d have loved to put some words in for everyone hustling for the Lambo money. But since Elon Musk called crypto a ‘hustle’ on SNL, things have never been the same. So, whether we go to the moon or remain here with the stars, it is important to have a place in your heart for the real technology and the real builders in this space…like Vitalik when he’s not on a Fashion show. True nerd, that one. Five more of that and we could be three steps closer to the Satoshi vision. But it’s fine, we are still good with all the Ben Armstrongs we have now. And Ben is ending his infamous crypto livestream. The only outcome is more enterprises like this rising to fame. All good, y’all stay safe.
Bitcoin opened the year at one of the highest price levels ever. Really looking like a solid year, if we don’t ruin it with some funny events. In all my time in the space, I’ve not seen a year as bullish as the one we just entered, but it’s hard to tell the future. $100,000 Bitcoin and $5,000 Ethereum, you are surely expecting your shitcoins to print some good numbers this year too, the Lambo dreams look more realistic than ever. The stars are aligning, but this space has a history of being wild.
This isn’t even financial advice but here’s how we might rock this year;
Bitcoin Halving
At the time this article was written, a Bitcoin miner earns 6.25 Bitcoins for each block they mine successfully. This is set to change later this year after the next Bitcoin halving, stipulated for April this year. 3.125 BTC per block is still a very significant reward. Compared to what miners used to receive, we’ll have a 50% lesser emission rate. This has been shown to have a positive effect on the price of Bitcoin, hopefully, history continues to repeat itself. Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV will also be halving this year; you probably don’t care much, but I just had to put it there in case.
Spot EFTs
If things go as expected, we could have some major developments on the Bitcoin ETF applications from the previous year. The build-up from 2023 was catalyzed partly by rumors surrounding spot ETFs for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a few other cryptocurrencies. The effect on the value of these assets is out of the question, IF the ETF applications go through, then we can expect some real fireworks, but IF. Apart from the assets with filled spot ETF requests currently, ETF listing applications for more crypto assets could happen in 2024.
Pump it, Nope?
Bitcoin halving and Spot ETFs in the same year. Cryptocurrencies have pumped due to some ridiculous news, these two events are of very much importance compared to these. I’d say we are due for that $100k Bitcoin and $5,000 Ethereum. Altcoins are due for a pump, memecoins too. Everyone, really. Just remember to take profits on some of your ‘blue chip memecoins’ though. This might not last for assets in that class, but this is not financial advice either.
Shift in CEX dominance
Centralized exchanges are controlling crypto trading. For all the average investor cares, this is more than fine. But the thing is, decentralized exchanges are getting better, apart from the periodic exploitations, of course. The big advantage is the freedom it gives investors and project teams as well. The fact that you don’t need to pay a listing fee to create a liquidity pool is cool stuff. On CEXs, listing fees run into hundreds of thousands (dollars). If you are not a liquidity provider, Decentralized exchanges are a bit safe, but don’t forget to revoke access when you are done with your swap. I could make a list of some promising decentralized exchanges; Mute on ZkSync, Uniswap, DyDx, and a few others, but I’m sure there are tons of other excellent decentralized exchanges. These decentralized exchanges will likely challenge CEXs for trading volume. I said, Challenge!
Regulatory crackdowns to continue
We saw many crypto institutions sit in the courtroom and even more invited to investigation panels. Regulatory bodies in different countries are taking a closer look at what we are doing here, and where they see an opportunity, they will certainly swoop; especially if there’s a possibility of going away with a few billion dollars. Don’t get this wrong, the space needs some regulation and we will surely be seeing more of these this year, hopefully they don’t ruin our party!
Bitcoin Virtual Machine (BitVM)
BRC-20 tokens might make the wave this year. SRC-20 tokens as well. But I think another trendsetter will be the Bitcoin Virtual Machine. No need for my personal opinion here, so I will just say what you want to hear; this Bitcoin VM could signal another Era for the Bitcoin blockchain. Decentralized finance and DApps on the oldest cryptocurrency blockchain will be an interesting one to see. Seriously, it will be even better if we just focus on making Bitcoin a perfect P2P payment facility. But that’s my opinion and it doesn’t even matter.
What else?
What else? This post surely didn’t cover everything, neither are the predictions correct. But before you laugh at the ‘ridiculous’ predictions, let’s know what we missed out on, and your personal predictions as well. No, don’t start with Michael Saylor buying more Bitcoin, that’s surely going to happen since the man actually wishes to own every Bitcoin on Earth. Also, what is a Bull run without ridiculous gas fees on Ethereum and some other L1s and even L2s? Maybe good news for projects like ZkSync and Arbitrum. Well, What else?
Concluding, it will be really interesting to see how these events unfold during the year. Sometimes things don’t really work out the way we want them. Hopefully, the disappointment is your memecoin printing a 10X instead of a 100X. Anyways, it’s all the same if you pass up on the profit-taking opportunities. On a more serious note, 2024 might not be business as you know it, even a semi-bear like myself is feeling so bullish! Looking forward to it!
2023 is one of those events you cannot describe with one word. It’s been a hell of a year! If anyone in the government gets to read this; consider extending the holidays. Unfortunately, in the capitalist world we live in, this isn’t even up to the government anymore. One of the year’s biggest events in crypto is Bitcoin’s climb to $44,000 from levels below $17,000. An over %150 rise in a year is a significant one. Ethereum hit $2,300 as well…at least we are leaving this year better than we met it. Yes ‘WE’.
Well, while you decipher that, here are some of the notable events of the year;
Rug Pull, court, jail
Forbes’ ’30 Under 30’ is the new prerequisite for jail time, at least that’s the new conspiracy theory. It’s not really a ‘theory’ when we’ve seen it play out quite a couple of times this year and even the years before. In the crypto space, there’s been lots of court time and jail time. Luna guys, FTX guys, and maybe Binance too. Different levels of Rug pull. We will keep calling out the memecoin rugpulls, but the CEX rugpulls are a thing. The space needs regulation, no doubt, even though the regulators aren’t the best kind of people. Several interventions have seen notable figures in the space go through court sessions and potentially, jail time. Financial crimes aren’t a joke, but we can’t keep ourselves from finding something funny out of any situation…like the courtroom painting of Mrs. Caroline.
Institutional insurgence on crypto
Multi-billion dollar mainstream financial institutions are steering into the crypto space in many ways. The mainstream VC invasion has been a thing for a while, but some big money institutions are launching spot ETFs for cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and LiteCoin. According to rumors, there is one for XRP…and PEPE. Not sure about these two but if the rumors are true, then the theory about mainstream institutions “coming for your Bitcoins” might be true as well. The BlackRock spot ETF for Bitcoin is yet to launch, but ‘rumors’ have it that we are close. Didn’t happen this year, maybe next year. Regardless, of the intent, we are seeing an increased mainstream exposure. This could be good for the price, we are not sure what it means for ‘Satoshi’s Vision”, but the random altcoin trader will take a solid 10X over that.
L2, Meme, Cashout, repeat
Over 11,000 cryptocurrencies are listed on asset-tracking platforms. Untracked assets are at least twice this figure, mostly memecoins. ‘Blue chip memecoins’, RugPull memecoins, and proper memecoins that accept their fate as being reliant on pumpamentals…and luck. But if you made that quick 10X on assets like this, then you can proudly enjoy your win. Like the past two years, 2023 witnessed a flood of memecoins, just like the tons of Layer-2 scaling solutions that launched this year. For each new L2, there are at least 50 memecoins, we’ve lost count of the memecoins on Ethereum and other L1s. Many L2’s usage statistics ride on the back of memecoins, and this is fine. We just want you to know that Memecoins didn’t die in 2023, we’ll check again in 2024.
Bitcoin – The new ‘Ethereum Killer’
BRC-20, BitVM…the Bitcoin blockchain now runs its own kind of smart contract. On the bright side, you can inscribe data on the Bitcoin network, on the other side, the Bitcoin blockchain was developed for the sole purpose of P2P transactions. The experiments are cool, but the after-effects are also significant. But this is not the time to say these; this paragraph only serves to inform readers that Bitcoin could be gearing up for a (very) new set of utilities. BRC-20 tokens and NFT-like inscriptions made the wave in the second and third quarters of 2023. The hype has died down since this time. The team behind BitVm is developing a Virtual Machine for the Bitcoin blockchain, these developments could shape 2024.
The Airdrop hunting continues
Every new protocol that launched in 2023 reached the one million user milestone in a very short time. We’d like to attribute this to the quality of these projects. But once we are done with that, we’d also like to talk about an obvious major contributor – Airdrop hunting! Lots of juicy airdrops from 2020-2022 and no one wishes to be left behind in the next multi-thousand dollar earndrop. So, the hunting continues. Good enough, even more projects have conducted such programs this year; Arbitrum, Celestia, PYTH network, no need for a long list. The average airdrop hunter should have something to show for the ‘hustles’ this year!
Not to jinx it, but 2023 looks like a perfect tone-setter for a massive 2024. The coming year is packed already and this year has done a good job at shining the lights to even better things…hopefully. If we don’t witness another Luna-level collapse, 2024 might just be the year. 2023 was a huge role-player here. The whole space has gone through a huge rebuild and regardless of how it went on individual terms, it is another one for the record books. And if you ever thought memecoins would fade out one day, this year is a good reminder that things like this are part of what makes this space what it is. The lights fade; the show continues in 2024!
We are all in support of a well-regulated crypto space, but the regulators should at least get the pronunciation right for the firm they are prosecuting. Well, maybe we’ve all been pronouncing it the wrong way. The memecoin peddlers are already having a field day with that one and that’s fine, a few 10x on those BENANCE coins wouldn’t hurt…before they pull the rug.
4.3 billion cheese in the pocket, you can see the idea behind the title now. The SEC could run solely on the money made from crypto firms in the past three years. Can’t lie, the whole space needs to be tightened up, it is currently loose. But I suggest that Mr. Logan should at least give back some of the money he made from that sports drink stuff to the guys he ran away with their cheese for some NFTs that never came to life.
A silver lining; Bitcoin rose past the $30k area and Ethereum breached the $2,000 level. Even though I don’t have much of those, some altcoins have seen a few gains too. Wondering how I could afford another snack? You have your answer now. I had the opinion that bull runs were fueled by greed and hype, this one could be fueled by conspiracy theories. The Bitcoin ETFs are taking quite some time to go live, the real problem is… every cryptocurrency appears to be getting a Blackrock ETF too. Solana, XRP, PEPE. If you believe the XRP part, you should believe the part PEPE too.
Memcoins should find a way to include an ETF in their ‘utility’ list, but if “they got rid of CZ to pave the way for an industry-controlled Bitcoin” then these ETFs should pack more punch than we expect. Since we are all here for the money, this should be good news, right? No? Have fun explaining the ‘satoshi vision’ to the regular investor who just wants his altcoin to go 5X.
If you want proof that a good percentage of ‘cutting-edge decentralized AI projects’ is just an extension of ChatGPT, the price movements of these projects in response to the hide-and-seek at OpenAI is your best proof. Sack, re-employ; turns out these jobs are more secure than we thought. For whatever reason these guys sacked Altman; the employee movement sufficed…they probably had a hard time understanding Sam’s codes though.
The AI team at X launched a more vicious ChatGPT – GROK. There are more chances that you saw that name first in the Memecoin market. But yeah, crypto always moves first. If there is anything I’m convinced about in the coming bull run, it is that AI coins are going to run to show.
Gensler believes in the possibility of rebooting FTX Exchange. Associated tokens have since gone haywire, and if FTX gets rebooted, the next on the list should be Luna. USTC might already be trading around $0.1 by the time you get to read this article. Still, a long way to go for a dollar-pegged coin, but in this space, ‘never say never’. FTX, Luna, Voyager, Celsius…the list is long, but, one after the other.
I’m revealing the snack of the day for the first time; since everyone is getting cheese, it’s just reasonable to get a cheesecake, and Sprite. Unlike the guy behind the KyberSwap exploit, a handful of snacks could get us ‘fully rested’ in a short while. The Poloniex hacker and the SIM swap guys made the list of ‘cheese getters’ too. Guess the whole space is just about people getting cheese.
Bankman Fried and other FTX guys will learn their fate soon, I will have to drop the pen here and return whenever we have definite news. But if Bitcoin crosses $40,000, then we might be back sooner than expected. Gone past the 600-word point too. Just in case you read up to this point; see you next time…guys! And hit the FOLLOW button!

Automated portfolio manager: Smartfolio
The smartfolio is a Telegram-based portfolio manager. Smartfolio keeps a watch on your investment for you while you focus on other aspects of your investments. By developing a portfolio manager that works on the Telegram application, DexCheck selects an application that investors use routinely. Telegram is one of the most widely used mediums of conversation and smartfolio fits in just well. Investors can receive push notifications about changes in the price of the asset they invested in and decide their next moves. To use the smartfolio, investors simply need to interact with the bot and enter details of their investments, this includes the assets and the amount they hold.
Smartfolio can also track assets in a provided wallet, an investor simply needs to provide the wallet details. Smartfolio connects to the wallet to obtain information on assets being held on supported blockchain networks. Smartfolio currently supports over 10 blockchain networks, this could improve with time as well.
On-chain analysis with clear-cut technology
DexCheck has developed wallet trackers, Dex trade analytics application, top traders’ trackers, and whale trackers as well. These applications are designed to obtain information from the blockchain and present pre-analyzed data to investors in a way that allows them draw conclusions easily and accurately. On-chain analysis can reveal information for investors, but most investors either use them inappropriately or below their maximum capacity. DexCheck’s on-chain analysis tools guide investors towards making the best out of on-chain data.
AI-engineered investment insight application
InsightGPT is another utility application on the DexCheck ecosystem. InsightGPT used artificial intelligence to analyze trades on decentralized exchanges. It obtains trading data and evaluates them to detect high-profile trades. These trades are usually from traders with high positive PnL and assets traded between wallets with running records of profitable trades. DexCheck informs investors of such trades and allows them to decide their next moves. These insights are actionable, they are ‘useful’ to investors.
Passive income opportunities and investor empowerment
For investors who hold DCK – the native token of the DexCheck ecosystem. DexCheck offers numerous ways to benefit from investing in the project.

DexCheck is empowering cryptocurrency investors to make informed decisions in their routine investments. By making actionable data available at every trader’s fingertips, DexCheck hopes to improve the recorded success rate for cryptocurrency investments. In a space as volatile and challenging as this one, this is for sure a tasking goal. I have made a number of reviews of the different applications in the DexCheck ecosystem. The telegram bots and the wallet analytics applications are at the top of my list, but there is still a whole lot to discover.
The Telegram bot and most of the analytics applications are free to use, technically, all applications in the DexCheck ecosystem are free to use. However, the pro features will require you to stake some DexCheck tokens. By staking the DexCheck token, you also get to enjoy tons of staking benefits in addition to gaining access to the Pro features. There are two tiers, expert and Oracle. To enjoy expert features, you will need to stake at least 20,000 $DCk. The Oracle tier is the most advanced tier and gives you access to every feature on the platform.

Top traders (for fungible tokens and NFTs)
The top trader’s features are another quite interesting application available to pro traders only. Like InsightGPT, it is a data-driven machine as well, however, it gets quite interesting. Instead of presenting the data on interesting trades separately, the top traders’ feature collates high positive PnL traders and traces these trades down to the maker, then it runs a calculation on the total profit and loss generated by the trader. It then shows on the interface, the traders with the highest gains over a specific period of time. This feature is flexible, you can adjust the timeline for the calculations and filter your searches to narrower data. The Top Traders application (for fungible tokens) supports over 20 blockchain networks and 30 decentralized exchanges
The interface is quite intuitive and also has a link to the wallet analyzer to allow you to perform deeper studies on the trader.
Here’s how to use the top traders feature (for fungible tokens)
How to Identify Top Crypto Traders Using DexCheck
Click here to navigate to the Top Traders application.
The list is set to a specific network, Click the Network section from the top right corner to select a desired network.
You can now see the list of traders with the most successful trade on the network. This is initially set to 30 days period.
To change the period, Click on Time Basis, you can set it to 7 days or 24 hours.
You can also arrange the list according to the Traders’ PnL and unrealized profit. Click on any of these as shown above.
To run a deeper analysis on the wallet, Click Analyze from the right corner to access the wallet analytics page for the address. Follow the wallet analyzer guide above to navigate through the wallet analyzer interface.
How to Identify Top NFT Traders on DexCheck
Flipping an NFT for some profit isn’t really as easy as it appears, but some popular NFT traders have mastered this trade and constantly print profits in their NFT trades. As a newbie and regardless of your expertise in the sector, following up traders with a recurring record of profitable trades can improve your performance as well. With the DexCheck Top NFT Traders application, this is much easier.
The Top NFT Trader application works in a similar fashion as the Top Crypto Traders application, but it tracks NFTs instead. Also, the Top NFT Traders application only supports the Ethereum network at the time of writing.
The landing page lists NFT traders with the most profits in a period of time. Click the duration box in the top right corner to change the duration.
To run a deeper analysis on any of the traders, click AnalyzeAddress from the top right corner.
The wallet analytics page for NFT traders is similar to that of crypto traders. Refer to the wallet analyzer guide above to navigate through the wallet analyzer interface.
Closing Thoughts
We could see traders raving about insightGPT, this is quite understandable, the lead it gives the everyday trader is handy, but the underlying technology is even more impressive. It is likely that we see this tool develop into a more capable application. However, the Smartfolio comes close in terms of utility. By being integrated into the telegram messenger, it delivers its role perfectly. Still, one to keep tabs on as the project develops. The Top Trader feature might also fall down the pecking order as InsightGPT continues to evolve. Either way, it is still a handy tool.
The point here is, looking at the utilities of the pro trader features and how accessible they are, every trader should consider trying these out. Even better, newer features will be available to pro traders.
We have covered a few aspects of DexCheck from the technological point of view. Check out some of these articles
Alright, I get it; investing in a promising low-cap crypto project is a no-brainer and everyone knows this. So I guess you are wondering why I am making a fuss about this. But DexCheck is actually a bit special to me. The feeling is the same as when I bought Fantom (FTM) at $0.003 in 2019. I’ll save the long story for whenever.
I stumbled on DexCheck while researching cool low-cap crypto projects to invest in since the whole market looks like a black Friday discount right now. The potential for the $DCK token to moon in the near future is there, but the technology, the community, and the team (of course!) are what impressed me most. I’ll put an early disclaimer, this is simply a review by an impressed user and not financial advice. Having said that, I’ll reiterate the positive impression the application has left on me.
If you wonder what DexCheck is;
DexCheck is an investor’s best friend. It is a suite of investment utilities powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology. DexCheck utilities range from deep asset analysis to expert investment suggestions backed by strong data. With an integrated decentralized exchange powered by Kyberswap, DexCheck lets you implement your analysis by making a sale or purchase. It offers a full suite of trading utilities and tops it off with a Revenue sharing program that offers passive income opportunities to top users and community members.
Sometimes I’m not so good with words and I admit that this description is a bit shallow. I will take these features one after. First, from my experience so far, DexCheck truly works!
I subscribed for a DexCheck Oracle account that allows me to enjoy all of the available privileges. To subscribe for a DexCheck Oracle account, you only need to stake 100,000 DCK tokens (luckily this costs less than $2500 at current token price!) and enjoy staking rewards as well!
Free-to-use DexCheck utilities include Token Analytics, Whale tracker (For NFTs and Fungible tokens) and the Token unlock features.
For traders who take the vesting schedule of assets into consideration before investing, the Token Unlock feature details the vesting scheme for every token. You can now see when the next big supply is getting released with a single click. The DexCheck Whale Tracker.
I’m particular about the DexCheck Whale Tracker! The Whale Tracker screens through decentralized exchanges to detect huge transactions and the wallet behind these transactions. It offers a one-click access to a full analysis of the wallet. Considering the prevalence of whales in the crypto space, this is a must-have. I snipped up a couple of giant PancakeSwap and Uniswap Whales with realized PNLs of over $150,000 and set up an alert on their trades. This takes the bulk of my Whale watching duties!
Trading Features for Pros!
The upgraded version of the Whale Tracker feature is available for pro traders. The Top Traders feature screens through Dexes and NFT trading platforms to detect wallet addresses with the highest ROI on trades. Using the top traders feature lets you see what the best traders are trading and how much they commit to their trades. This is available for NFTs and Fungible tokens as well. Alright, I’ll get to my favorites, the Telegram bot and DexCheck’s trademark insightGPT.
InsightGPT: In-depth Trading Analytics powered by Artificial Intelligence!
In case the whale trackers and the Top trader’s features don’t cut your workload enough, insightGPT is what you’ve been looking for! InsightGPT is a next-level automated trading analytics application. According to DexCheck, InsightGPT leverages Artificial Intelligence to analyze vast data in real-time, enabling it to provide actionable insights. InsightGPT offers smart money alerts and details on winning traders.
InsightGPT is your loyal transaction and big operation sniper! The dashboard is an all-around optimized interface that allows you to get regular delivery of interesting moves for specific tokens and take prompt action, you can quickly follow the featured wallet to get an alert when the trader moves again.
For most, InsightGPT is an advanced version of the wallet tracker and the top trader feature, but it is actually a way to augment the two. It combines the core functionalities of the two applications but the best trading will be made by the trader that is able to fuse the three utilities together.
It gets even better with the DexCheck Telegram bot. I admit that sometimes, it could be tedious to swing between different decentralized exchange platforms just to make your trades. This is a time-tasking process as well. The Dexcheck Telegram bot is a fix for this. It offers investors a way to execute normal and advanced trading activities from the comfort of their Telegram Messenger.
The integration process for the Telegram bot is easy and requires no technical experience. Once installed, you can trade on decentralized exchanges, Track cryptocurrency wallets, and perform advanced trading operations like Sniping trades. I’m a bit excited about the potential of this particular feature.
The Snipe trading bot screens exchanges to detect profitable opportunities and trade accordingly. For instance, the snipe trading bot notices newly added liquidity pools and moves to make a purchase before anyone else does. This allows you to purchase tokens at the lowest price and trade them in for a profit when full trading starts. The Snipe trading bot is equipped with advanced trading and analytics algorithms that enable it to run trades better than the regular trader. One thing I left out, the Snipe bot is automated, you can simply set it up with funds and it runs on its own.
You could mention a handful of similar projects, but DexCheck stands out for a couple of reasons. I’ll list them;
A Truly working application
I took the time to go through the features on DexCheck. It is easy to draw up a prototype but harder to develop an application that works as stated on paper. DexCheck runs as stated and the positive first impression was sustained throughout the times I used the application. From the smart contract token analytics to the trader and wallet analytics to the advanced Telegram Bot and the AI-powered InsightGPT. Each application leaves you coming back for more. Even without subscribing to the pro-trader feature, DexCheck offers the utility that most normal traders lack and crave.
An intuitive interface
DexCheck might sound very technical and it actually is. But these complexities are packaged into an intuitive user interface. Regardless of your technical abilities and your knowledge of the crypto space, DexCheck is very easy to use. Each feature is distinct and easily accessible. In case of confusion, the DCK team has also shown dedication to guiding users through using the application.
The DCK token is at the heart of the DexCheck applications. The DCK token powers the DexCheck application’s economy and supports its ecosystem to promote application usage and incentivize user involvement. DCK is a BEP-20 token on the Binance Smart Chain. The DexCheck team has developed a scheme to grow the DCK token and also fast-track the project’s growth through its token.
Via a symbiotic growth scheme, the DexCheck application and its token are designed to grow in utility and value. DCK is used in the project’s governance through the DexCheck DAO. DCK holders vote on new features and changes to the project’s operations. DCK token is also used for purchases, subscriptions, and user reward schemes through the Revenue sharing program.
This should actually come first but I had to save the best for the last. The success of any project depends 60% on the team behind it. Looking at the DexCheck team, the advisory team, and the partners, we could see this project climb to higher highs in the near future. Partner projects are prestigious and DexCheck is integrating across notable blockchain networks and communities including Polygon and Fantom. The DexCheck advisory team is made up of top officials from Polygon, ChainGPT, Kucoin, and Maven Capital.
What’s Next?
I took a look at the DexCheck roadmap and it looks packed for the future, the last quarter of the year will surely see many exciting releases the AI-DexFolio and the AI-arbitrage scanner are some of the new features I am looking forward to. It is interesting to see how the project employs Artificial Intelligence in these two new features.
I’ve personally picked interest in arbitrage trading multiple times, but it is clear that arbitrage trading will be a very tough thing to do without some sort of automation, the AI-arbitrage scanner might just be the tool that finally unlocks arbitrage trading.
Closing up
The thing is, I attempted to go through every utility that DexCheck offers, but this whole article is in fact, a scratch on the surface. I’ll eventually follow this up with even more articles and possibly some user guides and personal tips. Not sure how soon this will be anyway. However, the project is evidence of the evolving trading culture and the role of advanced technology in improving trader’s decisions. As a cryptocurrency investor, you are already wondering how these features will boost the price of the DCK token, I do too. And while I already bought some DCK tokens, I’m focused on discovering the best ways to put the basket of utilities on the platform to use. The general design makes it easy to do this.
Alright, I just got a sack full of snacks, it’s been a long day! The neighbour, just a block away is blasting some hip-hop music. Since this is crypto-related content, you’d guess the artist would be Soulja Boy or Lil Yachty; but coincidences aren’t as usual as we’ve made them be. Talking about those guys, we might see them return to the crypto space when the next memecoin season dawns on us. Soulja Boy led the marketing for the LimeWire token. Unfortunately, it couldn’t do a quick and temporary 10X before it crashed into obscurity. That $30 million ICO fundraiser will be enough to pay off Soulja and Bahd Barbie; since the latter is aboard the ‘content creation’ project as well. Well, time to move on, condolences to the ICO participants turned into bagholders.
Back to my neighbour’s music, it’s a 2009 Kanye, Jay Z, and Rihanna classic. A rich song…literally. But the inspiration for this article didn’t even come from there. Actually, there was no inspiration for this article. I just needed to slow down the half-life of this snack by talking crypto and web3 along the line. This is the first ever ‘snack talk’ (from me), new editions will be made anytime I stumble on a good snack. Good snacks aren’t so common in this area of the world, so, be rest assured that the next edition of this terrible series (might) take time.
Going ahead, UNIBOT is doing some face-melting on the charts, but that isn’t the main thing you should be worried about. There is a new Bitcoin in town, not the Satoshi one, the Obama one. Funny enough, Mr.44 wasn’t even a fan of crypto. He might have taken a few Bitcoin from that silk road seize, but that’s not enough to put his name in a top 300 crypto asset. Mr.45 was a more crypto person than his predecessor. He even runs a whole NFT project. Really significant, for the fact that he did bash Bitcoin. If Americans vote for another Democrat that isn’t Joe, then we might see a real Bitcoin fanboy in the Whitehouse. Heard he got two bitcoins each for his 7 kids. I’d give the best gifts to my kids too. W dad!
Hollywood is jumping between worlds. From the black-and-white world with Oppenheimer and then to the Pink world with Barbie. I’ll most likely pick a Chris Nolan movie, but this isn’t a recommendation. And this isn’t even any of our business, well, until Oppenheimer Memecoins start trooping in. Before then, we can only enjoy the current calm.
But it’s never calm in the crypto space. Just in case you live under a rock, FTX exchange is trying to make a comeback. If you dipped some cash into the troubled coin, you may have seen some pumps a few weeks ago. I’m sure you weren’t expecting that as the main gist from a guy with a sack of snacks. The news is, Sam is getting sued. I whispered those words, don’t shout! We can all pretend to be surprised when we hear that from a friend at work. Talking about friends at work, you should be planning a memecoin launch with your friends, you could just create the next Pepe.
Not sure if you are expecting another full paragraph, it’s just a snack-time talk. I just took the last bite. Last bites are like breakups. They leave a taste until your next meal. If you bought UNIBOT about a month ago, your next meal should be a steak, else, just have a burger and pray for a green candle. Been a good time, this is the Jump-off; title of the next edition will be inspired by the name of the snack. You don’t want to miss it, so just follow, even if it’s just for the sake of following. Yeah, that’s it for now…this Soda tastes bad…
