Kadena Nexus / Whale Watch
Kadena whale watch

Live feed
Newest first, last 90 days. Amounts in USD use the Mercatus KDA/USDC pool price at the time of the move.
Moves per day
Wallet moves of 100K+ KDA per day (Riyadh time). Hover a bar for the day.
Exchange flows
KDA sent to and from exchange wallets over the last 30 days, all amounts. Moves between two wallets of the same exchange are left out. More KDA going in than out often comes before selling, but not always.
Frozen platform share
The Kadena platform share is KDA set aside at genesis for the company behind Kadena. When Kadena LLC stopped operating, the community fork moved control of the unredeemed allocations to five community keyholders on November 6, 2025. Any 3 of the 5 must sign to move them.
This page reads the allocations from the chain every hour. Any release or transfer posts an alert immediately.
Still frozen
KDA in platform-share allocations on chains 0–9.
How many whales
Wallets by total balance across all 20 chains, counted once a day. These counts include exchange wallets and DEX pools. For today's list of the largest accounts, see the DenaScan rich list.
Wallets with 1M+ KDA
Wallets with 100K+ KDA
How it works
A watcher on the Kadena Nexus server reads every block on all 20 chains from the Kadena Nexus node in Saudi Arabia, six blocks behind the tip so short forks never show up. It records each KDA transfer of 100,000 or more.
- Cross-chain moves count once, on the chain they leave from. A wallet moving its own KDA between chains is not a whale move and is left out.
- DEX trades show the net KDA bought or sold in one transaction, so a round trip through two pools is not counted twice. Liquidity added to or taken out of a pool is shown separately.
- Relay hops: when a wallet passes the same amount straight on, the second hop is shown under the first and not posted again.
- Dormant wallets: a sender idle for a year or more is flagged.
- New whales: a receiver that crosses 1M KDA with the move is flagged.
Wallet names. A name is confirmed when the exchange itself ties the wallet to it, for example a deposit address the exchange issued sweeping into that wallet, or when contract data on the chain proves it (DEX pools, vesting lockers). A name marked (likely) rests on strong circumstantial evidence: the wallet paused and resumed within hours of the exchange's published suspension and resumption times around the November 2025 fork, or stopped paying out on the day the exchange closed KDA withdrawals. Everything else shows as an unknown wallet with its address. Private individuals are never named. Spotted a wrong or missing label? Tell us on Telegram.
Inside one exchange. When an exchange sweeps a customer deposit address into its own hot wallet, the move appears in the feed marked "internal" and is not posted or counted.
On X. Each move of 100K+ KDA posts as it happens, up to six a day. A summary posts every evening at 21:00 Riyadh time, and a weekly digest on Fridays. Platform-share alerts are never capped.
Account and transaction links open on DenaScan. This page reports what happened on chain. It is not financial advice, and an exchange deposit is not proof that anyone is selling.
