// Key takeaways
  • Four feeds: For you, Following, Live and News.
  • Follow without an account — follows live in your browser; sign in to ChadBot to keep them on your other devices.
  • A flip shows its return after fees when both trades were measured, and before fees when not; ≈ marks an estimate.
  • Heat ranks collections by buys over the last 10 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours or 24 hours.
  • Amounts always stay in their own chain's currency — SOL is never added to ETH.

What is ChadTape?

ChadTape is the social layer of ChadBot. One shared live stream carries the trades, sweeps and heat spikes the tape sees across Tensor, Magic Eden, Orbis and OpenSea, and your browser picks what to show you. Open it at chadbot.app/tape — reading it needs no account and no wallet.

How to follow a trader

chadtape Follow Example
  1. Open ChadTape.
  2. Tap the wallet on any trade, flip or sweep — its trader sheet opens with its trades, flips and holdings.
  3. Press Follow. For a collection, open it from any card and press Watch.
  4. Open the Following tab: only the traders and collections you follow, live.
  5. Optional: sign in to ChadBot to keep your follows on your other devices.

Flips: the return after fees

A flip is one wallet buying an NFT and later selling that same NFT. When ChadTape measured both trades it shows the return after fees — marketplace fees and royalties on both sides — and otherwise the price return before fees. An estimated figure carries a small ≈, for example when a royalty is not in the feed.

Fees vary by marketplace and collection.
★ Read the number, then the trader
A big return on one flip is luck until it repeats. Open the trader's sheet to see all of their flips on the tape before you follow.

Heat, Hot Hands and clans

chadtape Hot hands Example
  • Heating up — several different wallets buying one collection within minutes. The heat board ranks collections by buys over the last 10 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours or 24 hours.
  • Hot Hands — wallets ranked by the profit of their closed flips: by approximate USD value in the All view, or within the one currency you pick.
  • Clans — groups of traders under one tag, ranked together on their own boards.
  • Reputation — counts the days a wallet closed flips in profit and stayed in profit without its single biggest buyer; a place in a daily Hot Hands top 15 is worth more. Days reset at 00:00 UTC. Profit is estimated (≈) where marketplace fees aren't reported. It ignores open positions and trades off the tape, and a good record doesn't promise future results. A day counts when the wallet made at least that currency's minimum without its single biggest buyer (0.01 SOL · 0.0005 ETH · 0.25 USDC · 0.25 USDG · 0.25 USDT · 0.05 HYPE · 2 APE). The extra points for a top 15 need a full board: at least 15 wallets in profit that day. Days in other currencies don't count yet.

Sharing a moment

Any card on the tape can be shared as a link with its own image. The link is signed by ChadBot's server from its own record of the trade, so the card shows VERIFIED ON-CHAIN; a link someone edited by hand opens the plain tape instead, with none of its text.

Chains, marketplaces and currencies

On Solana the tape follows Tensor, Magic Eden, Orbis and OpenSea; on Ethereum, Robinhood Chain, Arc, HyperEVM it follows only the collections ChadBot follows on OpenSea. Every amount is shown in its own chain's currency, and nothing is added across currencies — WETH counts as ETH, nothing else is merged.
