Detect unusual activity. Never mistake it for certainty.
A signal can tell you where to look. It cannot tell you what happens next.
Dump Detector is intended to help users notice selling patterns that depart from a token’s recent context. A useful alert requires more than a red candle: it needs verified swap events, a stated baseline, and enough pool information to explain why the event was unusual. No detection service is currently connected in this preview.
A market condition, not a label for an actor
Selling pressure describes supply offered into a market relative to available demand and liquidity. It can show up as a sequence of swaps, a large order relative to pool depth, or a sustained increase in sell-side volume. The phrase does not establish who is selling or why.
A meaningful comparison uses a time window and an asset-specific baseline. Comparing a token’s minute of activity with a market-wide daily average can create misleading alarms. An interface should show the chosen baseline so users can judge whether it fits the asset.
Combine size, pace, and available depth
A monitor could compare a swap’s notional size with recent pool volume, estimate its share of pool reserves, and look for a cluster of sells over a defined interval. These measures answer different questions: absolute size, unusualness relative to history, and potential sensitivity to execution.
Price and volume divergence can be a useful observation, but thin pools and routing changes can distort it. Each indicator should include its formula, data source, time window, and limitations. A raw count of sells is not enough to distinguish ordinary activity from a meaningful shift.
Patterns can be useful without implying coordination
Several addresses selling in a short interval may warrant a closer look, but they do not prove those wallets share an owner. Exchange hot wallets, routers, automated strategies, and independent traders can create similar visible patterns. A detector should report the number of observed addresses and their transactions, not claim coordination without evidence.
Wallet clustering techniques can be uncertain and may create privacy concerns. Any future implementation should use conservative terminology and make inferred relationships clearly different from verified on-chain facts.
Explain why an alert was raised
Severity labels can help users prioritize attention when they are tied to transparent thresholds. A high-severity alert might require a large share of recent volume and a material reserve change; a lower-severity alert might indicate a smaller deviation. The exact rules must be visible and tested before the labels are used in production.
An alert is a prompt to investigate, not investment advice. The preview contains no live alerts. Explore Risk Scanner for contract context and Whale Watch for wallet activity context.
Understand the reasons signals can be wrong
False positives may occur when a pool migrates, a project executes a treasury transfer, a token has a low-activity baseline, or an indexing gap creates an apparent burst. A sudden volume spike can also come from a liquidity change rather than a wave of independent selling.
A reliable workflow includes a verification link, an explanation of the rule, a timestamp and block, plus the ability to mark an alert as reviewed. The system should record changes to its detection logic and avoid silently rewriting past conclusions.
Use alerts to ask better questions
Before interpreting an alert, inspect the transactions, identify the pool and route, compare reserves, and consider known project events. If the market is thin, even a small trade may produce a large displayed price move. If the data is delayed, the apparent sequence may be incomplete.

Good questions deserve clear answers.
These notes reflect the current prototype status. For product details, follow the linked guides and their stated limits.
Does an alert guarantee a price decline?
No. It flags activity that meets an observation rule. It cannot predict or guarantee a future market move.
What does “unusual” mean?
It should mean a measurable difference from a documented baseline, not a subjective judgment. The threshold and window must be shown.
Are these alerts live?
No. The page explains intended behavior; no blockchain indexer or alert feed is connected.
