METHODOLOGY
Dossier watches a curated set of Solana wallets and alerts you when several of them independently move on the same token inside a tight window. This page documents exactly how that works — the entire detection logic, disclosed.
// 01 · DOCTRINE
“We never advance without intelligence. One wallet is anecdote. Two wallets agreeing within hours is the first signal worth acting on. Dossier was built to surface that signal — nothing more, nothing less. The methodology is doctrine, and it is public.”
▾ GALACTIC FEDERATION OF FINANCE · RESEARCH DOCTRINE
The premise is narrow on purpose. A single wallet buying a token tells you almost nothing — it could be noise, a test, a mistake. But when multiple independent wallets, with no reason to coordinate, land on the same token within hours of each other, that agreement is information. Dossier exists to detect that agreement and put it in front of you fast. It does not predict, recommend, or trade.
// 02 · WHAT WE WATCH
A curated cohort — and a deliberate boundary.
The current cohort (codename Beta v2) is 38 Solana wallets selected for a track record of early, independent entries. A high-conviction subset of those is designated tier-A — the Handler feed weights its detection toward them.
Within the system, every wallet is labeled, and subscribers see those labels in their alerts — identifying which wallets converged is the product you pay for. What we publish openly is different:
// DISCLOSURE BOUNDARY
We publish the method, not the roster. The detection logic on this page is complete and exact. The wallet list itself — the addresses, and which are tier-A — is the proprietary input that makes Dossier worth subscribing to, so it is not posted publicly. This is consistent with our standing commitment to disclose the methodology (logged in the corrections record), which is about honesty in how the system works, not open-sourcing what it watches. The public API and this site never expose wallet identities; counts and rules only.
// 03 · THE PIPELINE
Four stages, on-chain only.
No private keys. No custody. No access to anyone's funds. Dossier only ever reads the public chain.
01 // ACQUIRE
Surveil
A Helius WebSocket streams every transaction from the watched cohort in real time — direct Solana RPC, no polling. The connection self-heals: if it drops, it reconnects automatically, and its health is published live on the
status page.
02 // ANALYZE
Enrich
Each signature is parsed to extract the token mint, trade direction (buy / sell), and amount. Non-trade activity is filtered out. Clean records land in a Postgres table that the detectors read.
03 // CORRELATE
Detect convergence
Every 60 seconds, two detectors scan recent activity for independent agreement — multiple tracked wallets on the same token inside a time window. Exact thresholds are in the next section. Each convergence is recorded once; duplicates are suppressed.
04 // DISPATCH
Alert
A new convergence fires a Telegram alert within ~60 seconds — token mint, the converging wallets, direction, amounts, and quick links to DexScreener and Solscan. You verify on-chain in seconds and decide. We never tell you what to do with it.
// 04 · THE TWO FEEDS
Signals and Handler — the exact rules.
Two detectors run in parallel against the same data with different thresholds. Signals is the broad feed; Handler is the stricter, higher-conviction one.
SIGNALSbroad feed

Cooldownno repeat on same token + direction for 6h
The difference is conviction. Signals catches early, broad agreement on the buy side. Handler is deliberately rarer: it requires more wallets, a much tighter window, agreement on direction (so it surfaces coordinated exits too, not just entries), and the weight of the tier-A subset behind it.
// 05 · WHAT A CONVERGENCE IS — AND ISN'T
IT ISIndependent agreement. Several tracked wallets reaching the same token, on their own, inside a window — surfaced as fast as we can see it.
IT ISA starting point. A prompt to look, verify on-chain, and form your own view.
IT ISN'TA buy signal or a recommendation. Dossier never tells you to do anything with a convergence.
IT ISN'TAn endorsement of the token — or proof the wallets are right. Smart money is wrong all the time.
IT ISN'TCopy-trading. We track wallets; we do not mirror, front-run, or execute anything.
// 06 · HONESTY & LIMITS
What this can't do.
- It can be wrong. Convergence is a signal, not a guarantee. False positives happen — coincidence exists, and so do losing trades by good wallets.
- Quiet markets mean fewer alerts. No activity from the cohort means nothing to report. Silence is not a fault.
- It depends on infrastructure we don't own. Detection relies on a third-party data feed; when that feed degrades, ingestion can stall. We make that visible rather than hide it — see the live status page.
- We don't publish performance numbers we can't back. No fabricated win-rates, no invented uptime. When we have verifiable history, it goes in the public forecast record and corrections log.
- The roster evolves. Wallets get added or retired as they go dormant or lose signal. The methodology stays fixed; the inputs are maintained.
