# Crypto wallet monitoring: get alerted when any wallet buys or sells

Comparisons · https://lfg.gm/crypto-wallet-monitoring · Updated 2026-10-16

Crypto wallet monitoring means getting told when a wallet you care about buys, sells or moves funds. The main options in 2026 are wallet trackers like Cielo and GMGN, wallet apps like Zerion, explorer watch lists on Solscan and Etherscan, alert services like Cryptocurrency Alerting, and LFG Alarm, a social alarm clock for iPhone and Android that rings like an alarm when a wallet or trader you follow makes a trade over a floor you set. The difference is mostly how the alert reaches you: a Telegram message, an email, a push, or an alarm. We make LFG Alarm; this is a fair comparison as of October 2026.

One tip for searching: "wallet tracker" also means a Bluetooth tag for a leather wallet, so search for "crypto wallet tracker".

## What people are actually watching

Wallet monitoring sounds abstract until you name the wallet. Three common ones:

- **The deployer's wallet.** You bought a new Solana token and the team still holds a big slice. If that wallet sells, you want to know before the chart tells everyone.
- **The wallet that keeps being early.** You found an address that bought three tokens before they ran. You do not want every swap it makes, only the big ones.
- **A friend's or a fund's public wallet.** A trader in your group posts their address openly, and the group wants to see their big moves as they happen.

Each needs something different. The deployer case needs speed and a sell alert. The early wallet needs a size filter, or you drown in test buys. The group case needs everyone told at once. That is the lens for the table below.

## At a glance

| Tool | Add a wallet by | Chains | How it reaches you |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cielo | Address | 30+ | Telegram, Discord, web |
| GMGN | Address on gmgn.ai | Solana and ETH bots | Telegram bots, app |
| Zerion | Address or ENS name, on a Watchlist | EVM networks for alerts (2023 post) | Phone push |
| Solscan watch list | Address, flow None, All, In or Out | Solana | Profile notifications, email (100 a day) |
| Etherscan watch list | Address | Ethereum | Email |
| Cryptocurrency Alerting | Address, nicknames, bulk import | Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Optimism, Avalanche, Tron, Base | Email, push, SMS, phone call, Telegram, Discord, webhook and more |
| **LFG Alarm** | A pasted address, or a FOMO trader or GMGN KOL by handle | Solana, Ethereum, Base, BNB, Arbitrum, Robinhood Chain | An alarm with its own sound on your phone |

## The tools

**Cielo** is built for volume: its homepage lists 250 EVM and 50 Solana wallets on the free plan, with PnL profiles and Wallet Discovery on Pro. Alerts go to Telegram, Discord and the web app.

**GMGN** is a memecoin terminal. Log in with Telegram, follow up to 100 wallets on the site, then start its alert bot and choose all trades, buys or sells. Its docs warn that Telegram limits can drop alerts at busy times.

**Zerion** is a self-custodial wallet with portfolio tracking. Add a watch address and choose notification types per wallet: trades, mints, sends, receives and NFT trades. As of 16 October 2026 it has 4.8 from 4.7K ratings on the App Store.

**Solscan** and **Etherscan** are free block explorers with watch lists. Paste an address and you get notifications by email; Solscan also shows them in your profile.

**Cryptocurrency Alerting** watches balance increases, decreases or changes, and can reach you by SMS or an automated phone call. Solana is not on its wallet list.

## Where the others are stronger

- **Long lists:** Cielo and GMGN follow far more wallets than LFG Alarm is meant to.
- **Your own portfolio:** Zerion is a full wallet with portfolio tracking.
- **Free and simple:** explorer watch lists cost nothing.
- **Channels:** Cryptocurrency Alerting and Cielo send alerts into Telegram, Discord and more.
- **Acting on it:** GMGN and Zerion let you trade or copy trade. LFG Alarm does not trade.

## Where LFG Alarm is different

- **It rings.** On Android it rings as a full-screen alarm, even on Do Not Disturb. On iPhone it arrives as a time-sensitive alert with the alarm's own sound, which can come through Focus but respects the silent switch; keep the ringer on.
- **A floor.** A pasted wallet rings over $1k, $2k, $5k or $10k, buys or sells (default $5k), so dust and small swaps stay quiet. After a ring, it stays quiet for 15 minutes.
- **Buys and sells, separately.** Watch only sells on a deployer wallet, only buys on a wallet that tends to be early, or both.
- **Traders without addresses.** Follow a FOMO trader (buys over $5k, $10k or $25k, every sell, an optional thesis) or a GMGN KOL (over $100, $500 or $1k) by handle.
- **Friends together.** Share the alarm and everyone is rung at once. We found no other tool that follows a named trader over a floor and shares the alarm with friends.
- **No wallet connection, nothing to sign, no trading in the app.**

## Copy trading alerts

If you searched for copy trading alerts, you probably want to know the moment a wallet buys. LFG Alarm tells you and nothing more: it does not copy the trade, and it never touches your funds. What you do next is up to you, and nothing on this page is financial advice.

A ring is a prompt to look. When a watched wallet buys $7k of a token you have never heard of, the useful next minutes are spent on the token itself: its chart, its liquidity, who else holds it, what its X account says. Plenty of the time the answer is to do nothing.

## Which one should you get?

- **A Solana wallet tracker that is free:** Solscan's watch list, or Cielo.
- **Many wallets in Telegram:** Cielo or GMGN.
- **A wallet app that also watches others:** Zerion.
- **Bitcoin or wider EVM wallets, with a phone call:** Cryptocurrency Alerting.
- **An alarm, for you and your friends, when a few wallets or traders make a big trade:** LFG Alarm. See [Solana wallet alarms](https://lfg.gm/solana-wallet-alarm).

## Make a wallet alarm in the app

1. On **Alarms**, tap **📈 Onchain**. On lfg.gm, tap **Create**, then **Onchain**.
2. Paste the **wallet address**. Rocco asks if you want to be woken when it buys or sells.
3. Pick **Buys**, **Sells** or both, and the floor: $1k, $2k, $5k or $10k.
4. Choose who it is for: just you, or friends. A pasted wallet is never public.
5. Tap **That's it**.

Wallet alarms from an AI agent are coming; for now, make them in the app or on lfg.gm. Details: [trades alarms](https://lfg.gm/wiki/trades-alarms).

## Questions

### What is the best Solana wallet tracker?
It depends on how you want to hear about it. Solscan is the explorer most lists cite; Cielo and GMGN deliver to Telegram; LFG Alarm rings an alarm on your phone.

### Can I monitor a wallet without connecting mine?
Yes. The trackers on this page add wallets by public address, and LFG Alarm needs no wallet connection and nothing to sign; it reads public trades.

### Do I need the wallet address?
For most tools, yes. LFG Alarm also follows FOMO traders and GMGN KOLs by handle.

### Can a wallet alarm be shared publicly?
No. A pasted wallet can be private or shared with friends you name. Traders and KOLs publish their trades themselves, so their alarms can be public. See [how trades alarms work](https://lfg.gm/wiki/trades-alarms).

## About LFG Alarm

LFG Alarm is a social alarm clock for iPhone, iPad and Android. It rings for times and for moments (a post on X, a stream going live, a token price, a wallet buying, an event starting), and one shared link makes every phone that joined ring together. Rocco, the cat inside the app, does the watching and the waking.
