Getting started, in five steps

What you are setting up. Whale Tail watches wallets that provide liquidity on Meteora, and copies what they do into a wallet of your own, at a size you choose. When they open a position, you open a smaller one. When they close it, yours closes too.

You are not sending anyone your money. The wallet is yours, you hold its key, and you can take everything out whenever you like.

The five steps

1. 1

   Make an account

   Sign up with an email and password, or with Telegram. It takes a minute and costs nothing.

   A Solana wallet is made for you at that moment. That wallet is where your money sits and where positions are opened.

2. 2

   Save your private key

   You are shown a private key when the wallet is created. It is a long line of characters. Copy it and keep it somewhere safe and offline — a password manager, or written down.

   That key is what lets you move your money without us. It is the difference between an account and a wallet you own.

   Do this now, not later. Anyone with that key can take the funds, so never paste it into a chat, an email, or a website. We will never ask you for it.
3. 3

   Send some SOL to it

   Your account page shows the wallet address. Send SOL to it from an exchange or another wallet.

   How much? Comfortably more than one position. Each open position holds about 0.057 SOL as a deposit that Solana returns in full when the position closes, and every transaction costs a fraction of a cent in network fees.

   • Fund only what you would be genuinely willing to lose.
   • If you fund 0.6 SOL and set a 0.5 SOL position size, you open once and then sit idle with nothing free.
   • Several multiples of your position size is what members running comfortably actually hold.
4. 4

   Pick a whale to follow

   Open the whale board and look at the column marked “Returned to us”. That is what copying that wallet has actually paid the people here — not what the whale itself earned. Those are very different numbers, and the second one is the one that matters to you.

   • Look at how many closed positions the figure rests on. Ten trades is not a track record.
   • Look at deep losses — a wallet that occasionally loses heavily is a different risk from one that does not, even at the same average.
   • A good past record is not a promise. It can stop working tomorrow.
5. 5

   Set your size, then press Start copying

   Each whale you follow gets its own position size and a maximum per token. Start at the smallest size you are comfortable with — you can always raise it.

   Nothing happens until you press Start copying. A whale you have added but not started is sitting there doing nothing, and the page says so plainly.

What happens next

When your whale makes a move, Whale Tail sees it within seconds and makes the same move for you, scaled to your size. You will see each one appear in your feed with its own timestamp, so you can check it against what the whale did.

You are always behind the whale, never ahead. We only see their transaction after it has confirmed, which means on a fast move you enter and exit at a slightly worse price than they did. That is inherent to copying and no amount of engineering removes it.

What it costs

Your first 7 days are free. New accounts get full access with nothing to pay, so you can see it work before deciding.

After that it is $50 for 30 days, or $500 for a year. That is the whole price: no fee on your trades, and no cut of your profits.

The only other costs are Solana's own — the refundable deposit per position, network fees of a fraction of a cent, and the swap fee charged by the pool itself. Those go to Solana and Meteora, never to us.

Before you fund it, read this

Providing liquidity can lose money, and here it regularly does on individual positions. The biggest cost is not fees — it is the price moving away from the range the position was set in.

• Some of our members are up and some are down. We publish what copying each whale has actually returned, losses included, on the whales page.
• The tokens involved are volatile memecoins and the pools are often thin. A token can lose most of its value while your liquidity sits in it.
• This is new software. It can misread a move, act late, or fail to act. We show failed legs rather than hiding them.
• Your wallet's key is held on our server, encrypted, so we can act the moment a whale moves. You are given that key and can take your funds out independently at any time.

Nothing here is financial advice, no return is promised, and which whale you follow at what size is your decision.
