Why Smart Money Buys
A Smart Money Buys alert means addresses the network rates as skilled traders opened positions.
A buy is a fact. The reason behind it is a guess. Stardust Calls uses the Smart Money Buys channel for the facts and keeps the guessing for later.
For Stardust Calls, wallet alerts show what money did, which is harder to fake than a post. Stardust Calls follows Smart Money Buys on Solana and asks whose wallets they are and what they did before.
Quick test: Check whether several buying wallets were funded from one source a few minutes earlier. Compare the buy size with pool liquidity; a buy that moves price far is also hard to exit.
