Dormant Buy
Push alert Base RobinhoodSingle-wallet quality signal. Fires when a historically strong wallet reappears after a long quiet period and puts on a meaningful buy.
Intent
Detect renewed conviction from proven participants - not noise from fresh wallets, and not routine rebalancing by always-on bots. Dormancy is measured from the wallet’s prior activity, not from token age alone.
Trigger Conditions
| Gate | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Tier | Buyer is elite or good |
| Dormancy | Inactive > 7 days (last seen prior to this trade) |
| Size | Buy > 0.1 ETH (or chain-native quote equivalent) or > 1% of pool liquidity |
| Presence | A concrete triggering buy is attached to the evaluation |
Elite tier receives a modest confidence boost; sybil penalties still apply.
What It Means
| Reading | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Strong | Elite wallet, long dormancy, size large vs pool - rare and high signal |
| Useful | Good tier with solid size - context for further research |
| Incomplete | Alone, never proves a launch is clean; needs LP, contract, and cohort checks |
A dormant quality wallet waking up is often early narrative, not confirmation that others will follow.

How Operators Use It
- Open the wallet - prior wins, recent silence, other concurrent positions.
- Check buy size against liquidity (a 0.15 ETH buy into 0.2 ETH of depth is a different animal than into 50 ETH).
- Run
/a <CA>for residual depth, current smart holders, deployer serial activity, and critical flags. - Look for cluster follow-through - a lone dormant buy that never attracts peers often dies.
- Do not auto-mirror; dormant capital can be wrong, late, or exit liquidity for someone else.
Cooldowns & Noise Control
| Control | Role |
|---|---|
| Per-token cooldown (~30m class) | Avoids repeat spam on the same CA |
| Tier filter | Neutral/suspect wallets never qualify |
| Size floors | Dust buys from quality wallets are ignored |
| Sybil penalty | Contaminated profiles lose confidence |
