PnL tiers
Ordered from best to worst:Size tiers
Ordered from largest to smallest:How to query cohorts
Use the cohort tools when you want behavior at the group level rather than per wallet:
Cohorts are addressed by
tierType (pnl or size) and tier (a slug from the tables above — new slugs are canonical; legacy slugs always work, and are the safe fallback until the dual-vocabulary rollout reaches your endpoint):
smart_money for sharps, whale for middleweights — from the tables above.
When to use cohorts vs individual wallets
- Cohorts when you want a signal — “are the Middleweights loading up on BTC?” / “are the Sharps bearish on ETH?”.
- Builder cohorts when you want the user mix of a builder code — the builder endpoints label wallets with their lifetime tiers (
pnlTier/sizeTier, legacy slugs), which can differ from the 30d-rolling tiers thecohorts-recentendpoints classify by. See Builder codes & attribution. - Individual wallets when you want a specific story — “what is
0xabc...doing?” / “how is this trader I follow performing?”.
pulse_token_leaderboard (top traders for a coin) when you want names.
