Every Solana transaction is public, so in theory anyone can find the wallets that make money and follow them. In practice, the wallets that look best are often the ones you should trust least. Here is how to tell a real record from a lucky or manufactured one.

Where people look

  • Wallet trackers and explorers list the most profitable wallets for a token or a week. Useful raw data, but a list of winners always includes people who got lucky once.
  • Crypto Twitter and Telegram callers share their wins. You rarely see their losses, and some are paid to promote the tokens they call.
  • Leaderboards on trading apps. Better when they rank by closed, verified trades over a long period.

Seven signs of a record worth following

  1. Closed trades, not open gains. An open position at 10x has not proven anything until it is sold.
  2. A long enough history. At least a month and dozens of closed positions. One week can be luck.
  3. Consistency. Most weeks end in profit, rather than one huge win paying for a string of losses.
  4. Controlled drawdowns. The worst losing stretch is small compared with what they bought.
  5. Hold times a human can follow. A wallet that sells within seconds is probably a bot. You cannot copy it by hand.
  6. Low rug exposure. They rarely hold tokens that later collapse or turn out to be scams.
  7. They say what they are doing. Traders who explain a trade and then stick to it are easier to judge than silent wallets.

Red flags

  • Wash trading. Two wallets trading the same token back and forth, or copying each other, to inflate volume and win rates.
  • Insider wallets. Wallets that buy a token minutes after launch and sell into the first buyers. Their profit came from the people who copied them.
  • Cherry-picked screenshots. One trade, no history, no transaction links.
  • Posting a reason to hold, then selling. A trader who tells followers to hold and exits within the hour is using them as exit liquidity.

How Murmurn scores this for you

Murmurn's Trust Score turns these checks into one number from 0 to 100: win rate, weekly consistency, drawdown, hold time, rug exposure, account age and whether a trader sells soon after posting a reason to hold. Up to 30 points come off for wash trading patterns. Traders need 10 closed positions before they are rated, and every trade on a profile links to its transaction, so you can check it yourself.

Browse the leaderboard, open a few profiles, and read their closed trades before you follow anyone. Then follow the step-by-step copy trading guide.
