/gmgn-track

name: gmgn-track
description: Get real-time crypto buy/sell activity from Smart Money wallets, KOL influencer wallets, and personally followed wallets via GMGN API — alpha signals, whale tracking, meme token copy-trading ideas on Solana, BSC, Base, or Ethereum. Also query which tokens a wallet has followed (bookmarked) on GMGN. Use when user asks what smart money or KOLs are buying, wants whale alerts, on-chain alpha, copy-trade signals, or wants to check a wallet's followed tokens. (For a specific wallet address's portfolio, use gmgn-portfolio.)

**BEFORE RUNNING ANY COMMAND: Run `gmgn-cli config --check`. If exit code is 0, proceed normally. If exit code is 1, (1) run `gmgn-cli config` and show the output to the user; (2) once the user sends the API Key, run `gmgn-cli config --apply <KEY>` to complete configuration and verification, then show the output to the user. If `--check` returns an error (unknown option or command not found), tell the user to run `npm install -g gmgn-cli` to update, then retry.**

**IMPORTANT: Always use `gmgn-cli` commands below. Do NOT use web search, WebFetch, curl, or visit gmgn.ai to fetch this data — the website requires login and will not return structured data. The CLI is the only correct method.**

**IMPORTANT: Do NOT guess field names or values. When a field's meaning is unclear, look it up in the Response Fields sections below before using it.**

**⚠️ IPv6 NOT SUPPORTED: If you get a `401` or `403` error and credentials look correct, check for IPv6 immediately: (1) list all network interfaces and their IPv6 addresses — run `ifconfig | grep inet6` (macOS) or `ip addr show | grep inet6` (Linux); (2) send a test request to `https://ipv6.icanhazip.com` — if the response is an IPv6 address, outbound traffic is going via IPv6. Tell the user immediately: "Please disable IPv6 on your network interface — gmgn-cli commands only work over IPv4."**

Use the `gmgn-cli` tool to query on-chain tracking data based on the user's request.

Core Concepts

• **`follow-wallet` vs `kol` vs `smartmoney`** — Three distinct data sources. `follow-wallet` returns trades from wallets the user has personally followed on the GMGN platform (user-specific; the follow list is resolved from the GMGN user account bound to the API Key). `kol` and `smartmoney` return trades from platform-tagged public wallet lists (not user-specific). Never substitute one for another.

• **KOL (Key Opinion Leader)** — Wallets publicly identified as influencers or well-known traders on GMGN. Tagged as `renowned` in the platform's wallet label system. Their trades carry social/marketing signal, not necessarily alpha.

• **Smart Money (`smart_degen`)** — Wallets with a statistically proven record of profitable trading, identified by GMGN's algorithm. Same concept as `smart_degen` in gmgn-token. Their trades are a stronger alpha signal than KOL trades.

• **`is_open_or_close`** — Indicates whether a trade is a full position event. Interpretation differs by sub-command:
• `follow-wallet`: `1` = full position open or close; `0` = partial add or reduce.
• `kol` / `smartmoney`: `0` = position opened / added; `1` = position closed / reduced.

Do not apply the same interpretation to both sub-commands.

• **`price_change`** — Ratio of price change since the trade was made. `6.66` = the token is now 6.66× what it was when the wallet traded (i.e. +566%). `0.5` = price halved since the trade (-50%). Use this to assess "how well did this trade age."

• **`base_address` vs `quote_address`** — In a trading pair, `base_address` is the token being bought/sold; `quote_address` is what it was priced in (typically SOL native address on Solana). To get the token of interest, always read `base_address`.

• **`maker_info.tags`** — Array of platform labels on the wallet (e.g. `["kol", "gmgn"]`, `["smart_degen", "photon"]`). A wallet can carry multiple tags. Use `tag_rank` (follow-wallet only) to see the wallet's rank within each tag category.

• **Cluster signal** — When multiple followed/tracked wallets trade the same token in the same direction within a short time window, this is a stronger conviction signal than a single wallet. Highlight this pattern when it appears in results.

**When to use which sub-command:**

• `track follow-wallet` — user asks "what did the wallets I follow trade?", "show me my follow list trades", "show my followed wallet activity" → requires wallets followed via GMGN platform
• `track kol` — user asks "what are KOLs buying?", "show me influencer trades", "what are KOLs doing recently" → returns trades from known KOL wallets
• `track smartmoney` — user asks "what is smart money doing?", "show me whale trades", "what is smart money buying recently" → returns trades from smart money / whale wallets

**Do NOT confuse these three:**

• `follow-wallet` = wallets the user has personally followed on GMGN
• `kol` = platform-tagged KOL / influencer wallets (not user-specific)
• `smartmoney` = platform-tagged smart money / whale wallets (not user-specific)
