Company profile
researched Aug 2026UniWhales is a DeFi data and research project structured as a token-gated decentralized autonomous organization. It aggregates on-chain and off-chain data across multiple chains and layer 2s, producing real-time transaction alerts and dashboards covering swaps, DEX liquidity, NFTs, bridges and top wallets. Its original focus was tracking large-volume transactions on Uniswap so users could observe pumps, dumps and whale movements in real time.
Products include Telegram alert channels (a public channel publishes real-time DeFi whale alerts with a minimum transaction value of $50,000, flagging bear transactions and higher-volume moves), an EVM tracker bot, a NEAR tracker, and a web app dashboard for monitoring tokens and whale addresses, with an address-filtering tool that segments whale data by date, transaction size, token or DEX. A separate product, Cielo Finance, was incubated by UniWhales DAO and focuses on making sense of on-chain data, including support for Solana; DAO members receive lifetime Pro or Whale access to it.
The project combines the analytics tooling with community-driven curation and content aimed at surfacing trends in projects and data. Membership in the analytics platform and community is gated by the $UWL utility token, an ERC-20 contract on Ethereum with a maximum total supply of 10,000,000 tokens.
Business model
Free public alert channels serve as an entry point, while access to the full analytics platform and the DAO community is gated by holding the $UWL utility token; a premium Telegram tier is also offered. DAO membership additionally confers lifetime Pro or Whale access to the incubated Cielo Finance product.
Access to the premium analytics platform and community is monetized through the $UWL token gate and a paid premium Telegram tier.
Traction
Launched in November 2020, UniWhales reported over 10,000 free subscribers and a token-gated DAO of more than 300 traders, builders and investors as of the Chainstack case study. The company's site cites free wallet alert channels used by over 20,000 and, in a later section, over 65,000 Web3 enthusiasts. The public Telegram alerts channel has roughly 4,431 subscribers, and the UWL token contract shows 663 holders.
Latest developments
Cielo Finance, incubated by UniWhales DAO, has added support for Solana alongside EVM chains and NEAR, with DAO members granted lifetime Pro or Whale access.
