Solscan Extra Tags

Solscan’s Extra Tags feature expands our existing tagging system, offering enhanced visibility into millions of high-activity wallets on the Solana network. Building on the foundation introduced in Solscan Tags, Extra Tags introduce a more dynamic and behavior-based layer of wallet classification.

What Are Extra Tags?

While standard tags categorize wallets based on known identities or static public labels, and are manually assigned, Extra Tags are dynamic - automatically assigned and refreshed based on each wallet’s on-chain behavior, portfolio holdings, and trading activity.

For instance, a wallet may appear as a Whale holder of Token A, but if it sells all of Token A, the tag will automatically disappear.

Extra tags are generated from analyzing Solscan’s indexed on-chain data and updated continuously to reflect the most recent activity trends.

Where Are Extra Tags Displayed?

Currently, Extra Tags is visible across the following pages: Account, Token Holders, and Account Leaderboard page. Each tag provides a quick summary of wallet characteristics or activity types, with a tooltip offering additional context on what the tag represents.

Categories (In Development)

Extra Tags are organized into three main categories, focusing on different wallet characteristics:

1. Builder/Creator

Covers wallets that have demonstrated on-chain creation activity.

These tags identify accounts that have created at least one new token or liquidity pool, signaling direct participation in building within the ecosystem.

Examples: Token Creator , Pool Creator

2. Portfolio Holding

Highlights wallets with significant holdings, as well as patterns related to value accumulation and staking.

This category identifies high-value wallets and automated actors based on portfolio size and staking behavior, helping surface entities associated with large asset concentration or sustained staking activity.

Examples:

Whale Holding Token, Whale Portfolio, Whale Stake

Shark Holding Token, Shark Portfolio, Shark Stake

3. Trading User

This category identifies wallets based on how they move assets and interact with markets. This category could be divided into two sub-groups: Whale Transfer Behavior and Trader Activity.

Whale Transfer Behavior

This sub-group classifies wallets that perform large-scale token transfers. These tags are based not only on transfer volume, but also on how frequently and consistently a wallet moves assets.

Tag	Description
`Silent Whale Transfer`	Low-frequency but high-value transfer activity.
`Noisy Whale Transfer`	Heavy transfer activity, but with lower aggregate volume relative to other whale transfer profiles.
`Steady Whale Transfer`	Moderate transfer activity with consistently high total volume.
`Active Whale Transfer`	High transfer activity combined with substantial capital movement.
`Flow Whale Transfer`	Very high transfer frequency alongside large overall volume.

Trader Activity

This sub-group identifies wallets based on trading behavior, including trading frequency and market interaction patterns. These tags help users recognize wallets that are actively participating in token swaps or trading activity.

Tag	Description
`Active Retail Trader`	A wallet that trades regularly at a retail-level scale.
`High Frequency Trader`	A wallet that performs trades at a high frequency.

Together, these tags provide a clearer view of how a wallet behaves in the market, whether through large-scale asset movement, frequent trading, or consistent transaction activity.

What’s Next

Future tag expansions will include behavioral and risk-related identifiers, such as bot wash trading, rug pull involvement, and arbitrage activity.

By continuously refining these classifications, Solscan aims to make wallet analysis more transparent and actionable for both retail users and professionals.

Notes

Extra Tags is automatically generated and non-editable, derived from Solscan’s analytics models. They are designed to improve wallet transparency and contextual understanding, but should not be interpreted as financial or investment advice.
