Copy the people who provide the liquidity.
Whale Tail mirrors wallets that run Meteora DLMM liquidity positions on Solana — same pool, same range, same shape, scaled to your size. This page is the whole product: how it works, what to do, what it has actually returned, and what it costs you.
What it is
Liquidity providers, not traders.
Most copy-trading follows people who buy and sell tokens and hope the direction is right. Whale Tail follows a different job: wallets that deposit a pair of assets into a price range on Meteora DLMM and earn a cut of every trade that passes through that range.
That business makes money from volume, and loses it when the price walks away from where the range was set. It is not a bet on a token going up. It is closer to running a market stall than to picking a winner — and it is measurable, which is why it can be copied honestly.
How it works
A whale opens. You open. A whale exits. You exit.
- 1
We watch the wallet
The engine reads every followed wallet's confirmed transactions straight from the chain, roughly every 20 seconds. Not a signal group, not a feed someone curates — the wallet's own on-chain activity.
- 2
We work out what it did
Opened a position, added to one, removed part of one, or closed it entirely. The pool, the bin range and the distribution shape all come out of the whale's own transaction rather than a guess.
- 3
We mirror it at your size
If they went in with SOL only, so do you. If they went in two-sided, the token half is bought first and then deposited. Always scaled down to the size you set — never scaled up.
- 4
We exit when they exit
A full exit withdraws the liquidity, claims the fees, closes the position, recovers the rent and swaps the token leg back to SOL. A partial removal is copied as a partial.
You are always behind the whale. That gap is measured and shown per position rather than hidden — usually tens of seconds, and it is a genuine cost when a price is moving.
Your trade goes first, so it cannot be sandwiched
Every trade Whale Tail sends goes through a protected route. Your transaction is placed ahead of the bots that would otherwise trade against it — so nobody can buy in front of you, push the price, and leave you filling at the worse one. You get the price you were quoted, and anyone arbitraging afterwards does it at their own expense rather than yours.
This matters most in thin, volatile pools, which is exactly what these whales trade. Small positions in illiquid memecoin pools are the most exposed trades on Solana, so protection there is worth more than it would be swapping SOL for USDC.
Setting up
Four things, then it runs by itself.
- 1
Make an account
Email and a password, or Telegram. A Solana wallet is created for you at that moment, and you can export its private key from your account page whenever you want.
- 2
Fund it with SOL
Send SOL to the address on your account page. Positions, network fees and refundable rent all come out of this balance.
- 3
Pick whales, then press Start copy
Browse the board and add wallets. Each follow carries its own position size and a maximum per token. Nothing is copied until you press Start copy.
- 4
Subscribe to open positions
Pro costs $50 and is what enables opening. Closing never requires a subscription — if it lapses while you hold positions, the engine still exits them.
How much SOL to start with
A DLMM position costs about 0.057 SOL in rent plus network fees to open, and that rent is returned in full when the position closes. On top of it the engine keeps a reserve so a wallet can always afford to exit what it entered.
So a wallet needs meaningfully more than one position's worth. Fund 0.6 SOL against a 0.5 SOL size and you will open once, then sit idle while your capital is stuck in a single position. Members running comfortably hold several multiples of their position size.
Results
What it has actually returned.
Every figure here is our own realised result across every member, from closed positions we could value. Positions we could not attribute are excluded rather than counted as zero — recording an unmeasurable close as break-even would be a worse lie than admitting the number is missing.
The part usually left out
Four of fourteen members are down. Results differ because people follow different wallets at different sizes, and some wallets have simply been worse than others.
Per position the numbers are small — a fraction of a percent of what was staked in that position. The return comes from doing it many times, not from any one position paying out. This is a young system with a short record. It is not a projection and not a promise about your result.
Costs that bite
What stands between fees earned and money kept.
| What | Size of it | Who gets it |
|---|---|---|
| Impermanent lossPrice leaves the range and the position converts toward the losing side | $22 of $61 earned | The market |
| The swap either sideTwo-sided entries buy the token, then sell it back on exit | 0.02% – 7%+ | The pool |
| Network feesRoughly 0.05% of a $52 entry | ~$0.03 | Solana |
| Position rentHeld while the position exists, returned when it closes | $0 — refunded | Nobody |
The swap cost varies enormously between pools and has nothing to do with trade size — it is the pool's own fee. Because a short-held position cannot earn back several percent, the engine refuses any entry whose round trip costs more than 3%.
What it costs
Fifty dollars, and nothing else.
No performance fee and no per-swap fee — what the engine trades is yours. The pool and network fees above are paid to Meteora and to Solana, never to us.
The token
Where the subscription money goes.
$TAIL is Whale Tail's token. You never need it to use the product — copying works without touching it. It exists so subscription revenue has somewhere to go other than straight into our pocket.
- 1
A subscription is paid
$50 in USDC or SOL, on activation and each renewal. This is the only money Whale Tail takes from anyone.
- 2
Half may go to a referrer
Where the account arrived through a referral link, $25 of every payment goes to that referrer. What remains goes to the buyback.
- 3
The rest buys $TAIL
Bought on the open market through Jupiter. Every buy is a transaction you can open in an explorer and check against what we claim.
Holding it, honestly
$TAIL trades in a pool paired against $TASSHUB with a 4% trading fee. Of that, 85% is paid to $TAIL holders pro-rata in $TASSHUB, less a 2.50% distribution cost — so roughly 3.32% of all trade volume reaches holders. A wallet needs at least $20 of $TAIL to be eligible.
That is a share of real trading volume, not an emissions budget — which cuts both ways. It is not a yield: it rises and falls with how much the token trades and can be near nothing on a quiet day. Whale Tail neither sets that pool fee nor receives it.
Undecided, and said so: whether bought-back $TAIL is burned or held in treasury has not been settled yet.
Why $TASSHUB, and the connection behind it
The pairing was not an arm's-length decision. Whale Tail's founder is a co-founder of TASSHUB, and the developer of $TAIL is a high-ranked member of TASSHUB. It reflects a real conviction in both projects — and it also means the people who chose it hold an interest on both sides.
Said plainly rather than left to be discovered. In practice it means your rewards arrive in a second token with its own market, its own liquidity and its own risk, one this team is connected to. Weigh the pairing on that basis.
What can go wrong
The honest list.
You can lose money
Four of our fourteen members with closed positions are down. Liquidity provision loses when price leaves the range, and a wallet with a good record does not guarantee its next position is a good one.
You are always late
We see a whale's transaction only after it confirms, then act. On a fast move you enter at a worse price than they did, and exit at a worse one.
These are memecoin pools
The tokens are volatile and often thin. A token can lose most of its value while your liquidity sits in it, and some cannot be sold sensibly at all — the engine refuses those it can detect, but it cannot refuse what it cannot foresee.
Copies can fail partway
When an open fails mid-flight the engine unwinds it: sells the token back, closes the empty position, recovers the rent, and records the failure. Around 5% of opens currently fail this way and self-heal.
Not every result can be measured
When a position leaves the chain outside our engine we know it is gone but cannot attribute what it returned. Those close as unvalued rather than as break-even.
$TAIL carries token risk
Its price can go to nothing, its rewards depend on trading volume that may stop, and it is paired against another token with its own risk. You never need to hold it.
Not financial advice. Whale Tail does not manage your money and makes no promise about returns. Figures measured 30 August 2026 and will drift as more positions close.
