About Whodl: who makes it, how the data is gathered, and how to check it
Whodl is a holder-intelligence service for new coins. Ask it about a coin on X, Telegram, Discord or the web chat and it reads the wallets behind the coin and tells you who holds, who is linked, who sold, where the money went, and whether the same wallets have been seen on earlier coins. This page explains who makes it and how the pages on this site are produced, so you can judge what to trust.
Who
Whodl is built and run by Jack Shard and a small independent team, with the bot account @WhodlBot on X. Jack writes the guides on this site. We are not affiliated with any coin, launchpad, exchange or market maker, we do not sell listings or placements, and no coin pays to appear on this site. Reports are produced on request, or automatically when a coin pays DEX Screener for attention, which is the one signal we treat as a reason to look.
How the numbers are made
Every figure on a coin page comes from public blockchain data and public X posts, measured at the time of the scan:
- Holders and balances are read from the chain at a single slot, so every wallet is measured at the same moment. Liquidity pools, burn addresses and known exchange wallets are excluded before shares are computed.
- Buys and sells are counted only when a swap through a known router can be verified in the transaction. A balance change on its own is never called a buy or a sell, because transfers between wallets are not purchases.
- Links between wallets come from three measurable facts: a shared funding source, a direct transfer, or a buy in the same block or transaction. Links are shown as evidence of a relationship, never as proof of one owner.
- Wallet history is Whodl's own graph of every wallet it has seen across every coin it has scanned, which is how it can say that a deployer launched earlier coins or that a group of wallets was bundled together before.
- The room gauge scores fear and greed per coin from holder growth, buy pace and price on chain, and from tone, bot share and mention momentum on X.
- Prices, market caps and liquidity come from public DEX aggregators and are timestamped.
Every report keeps the transactions it relied on, and the report page links each claim to its evidence. If a number cannot be measured, the page says it is unknown rather than guessing.
Where AI is used, and where it is not
- Coin reports use an AI model to write the plain-language takeaway from the measured facts. Every draft is checked by a second pass against those facts, and a draft that adds anything unsupported is replaced by a fixed, measured description. The page marks which one you are reading.
- Daily and weekly news posts are generated from the measured data by fixed templates, with no AI writing.
- Guides are written by Jack Shard with AI assistance. They explain how to read the measurements Whodl makes; they do not contain predictions.
- Coin pages are built from the latest report by code. They change only when a coin is scanned again, and their dates reflect that.
What Whodl does not do
Whodl does not give verdicts, safety scores or buy or sell calls, and nothing on this site is financial advice. It does not predict prices. It measures who holds a coin and what they have done, and leaves the decision to you.
Corrections
If a number is wrong, a wallet is mislabelled or a page should not exist, tell @WhodlBot on X with the page link. Published reports are immutable snapshots; a correction is made by scanning the coin again, and every scan stays visible in the coin's history.
