Someone asked me how much trust to put in address profiling, tag clustering, and similar methods... I usually treat it like a "weather forecast": you can see the trend, but don't take it as fact. On-chain data can indeed show where the money is coming from and going to, but many tags are guesses combined with historical behavior. Changing the wrapper, routing, or splitting transactions can distort the profile. Not to mention that exchange hot wallets, custody services, and aggregators are mixed together—what you think is "smart money" might just be customer service moving assets around.

I personally pay more attention to the rhythm of the same batch of transactions in the mempool: whether they occur within the same time window, have the same slippage settings, or show similar gas fee behaviors. This "technique" is more reliable than just looking at a single address ID. Recently, phishing links are increasing, hardware wallets are out of stock... Anyway, don’t be too superstitious about tags; first, carefully check the signature popup, because that’s more important than tracking who is who.
