I've been looking at address profiling with those tags/clustering lately, and the more I look, the less I dare to fully trust it. On-chain fund flows are certainly useful, but many labels like "smart money," "market makers," or "whales" might just be a few cross-chain transfers, a few relays, or even the same person changing routes multiple times, all stitched together by the system... Basically, it's like blind men touching an elephant. Especially when it comes to Meme tokens with attention shifts—when a celebrity shouts, traffic rushes in and then disperses quickly, tags update slowly, and newcomers easily follow the trail to catch the last wave.


I just turned off the monitoring alerts for a certain "whale address"—it was too noisy and too easy to influence the market. Now I prefer to focus on feeding prices and delays: when the price gets pushed around, or the oracle lags behind, the subsequent chain liquidations are what really hurt. Address profiling can serve as a reference, but I’ll ask myself more often: is it really "the same person," or just "the same type of behavior"?
