About this app
WHAT IT DOES
This tool analyzes wallet activity to detect potential MEV (Miner Extractable Value) bot behavior. It examines transaction history with timestamps, transaction frequency and patterns, gas price usage patterns, contract interaction patterns, transaction value patterns, block timing analysis, transaction ordering patterns, sandwich attack indicators, front-running patterns, back-running patterns, arbitrage transaction patterns, DEX swap history, and profit extraction patterns. The AI layer translates these on-chain metrics into a plain-English analysis that identifies whether a wallet appears to be a MEV bot, an arbitrage trader, or a normal user, explains what the patterns mean, and flags any concerning activity. This gives you critical insight before interacting with a wallet that may be extracting value from other users.
HOW TO USE
Connect your wallet, select the network, and paste the wallet address you want to investigate. The tool will fetch the wallet's transaction history and activity patterns, then display the results alongside an AI-generated analysis of potential MEV bot activity. No transaction is required — this is a read-only operation. The AI analysis is generated from the exact data the tool reads, ensuring the assessment is grounded in what the chain actually shows.
TECHNICAL MECHANISM
The tool performs multiple view calls to fetch transaction history and analyzes patterns using chunked log fetching that automatically halves the block range on RPC limit errors — because public endpoints cap historical queries differently and a single refusal should not end the scan. It identifies sandwich attacks by detecting transactions that immediately precede and follow a victim transaction at the same price level, and detects front-running by analyzing gas price bidding patterns and transaction ordering. It tracks DEX swap sequences to identify arbitrage cycles and profit extraction patterns, and calculates transaction frequency, gas price deviations, and timing clusters to distinguish bot activity from normal user behavior. The AI prompt is constructed entirely from the actual read results — never from assumptions — ensuring the analysis is grounded solely in what the wallet has actually done on-chain. All reads are performed through the connected wallet's provider.
WHAT IT CANNOT SEE
This tool cannot definitively determine if activity is from a MEV bot or legitimate trader — it only reads on-chain transaction patterns and metrics. It cannot detect off-chain MEV strategies. It cannot determine intent or bot ownership. It cannot predict future MEV activity. It cannot detect off-chain coordination between bots. Pattern analysis may produce false positives. It cannot distinguish between MEV bots and high-frequency traders. Timing analysis cannot prove causal relationships. Some legitimate arbitrage may appear similar to MEV. The AI analysis is generated from the data the tool reads and should be treated as informational pattern analysis, not as definitive evidence of bot activity.
PLEASE NOTE
EVM chains only. Analysis is AI-generated from data the app reads on-chain — always review what you are actually signing in your wallet before approving it. This tool is read-only and never initiates transactions.
