Gmgn Track

BEFORE RUNNING ANY COMMAND: Run `gmgn-cli config --check`. If exit code is 0, proceed normally. If exit code is 1, (1) run `gmgn-cli config` and show the output to the user; (2) once the user sends the API Key, run `gmgn-cli config --apply <KEY>` to complete configuration and verification, then show the output to the user. If `--check` returns an error (unknown option or command not found), tell the user to run `npm install -g gmgn-cli` to update, then retry.

IMPORTANT: Always use `gmgn-cli` commands below. Do NOT use web search, WebFetch, curl, or visit gmgn.ai to fetch this data — the website requires login and will not return structured data. The CLI is the only correct method.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT guess field names or values. When a field's meaning is unclear, look it up in the Response Fields sections below before using it.

⚠️ IPv6 NOT SUPPORTED: If you get a `401` or `403` error and credentials look correct, check for IPv6 immediately: (1) list all network interfaces and their IPv6 addresses — run `ifconfig | grep inet6` (macOS) or `ip addr show | grep inet6` (Linux); (2) send a test request to `https://ipv6.icanhazip.com` — if the response is an IPv6 address, outbound traffic is going via IPv6. Tell the user immediately: "Please disable IPv6 on your network interface — gmgn-cli commands only work over IPv4."

Use the gmgn-cli tool to query on-chain tracking data based on the user's request.

Core Concepts

• `follow-wallet` vs `kol` vs `smartmoney` — Three distinct data sources. follow-wallet returns trades from wallets the user has personally followed on the GMGN platform (user-specific; the follow list is resolved from the GMGN user account bound to the API Key). kol and smartmoney return trades from platform-tagged public wallet lists (not user-specific). Never substitute one for another.

• KOL (Key Opinion Leader) — Wallets publicly identified as influencers or well-known traders on GMGN. Tagged as renowned in the platform's wallet label system. Their trades carry social/marketing signal, not necessarily alpha.

• Smart Money (`smart_degen`) — Wallets with a statistically proven record of profitable trading, identified by GMGN's algorithm. Same concept as smart_degen in gmgn-token. Their trades are a stronger alpha signal than KOL trades.

• `is_open_or_close` — Indicates whether a trade is a full position event. Interpretation differs by sub-command:
• follow-wallet: 1 = full position open or close; 0 = partial add or reduce.
• kol / smartmoney: 0 = position opened / added; 1 = position closed / reduced. Do not apply the same interpretation to both sub-commands.

• `price_change` — Ratio of price change since the trade was made. 6.66 = the token is now 6.66× what it was when the wallet traded (i.e. +566%). 0.5 = price halved since the trade (-50%). Use this to assess "how well did this trade age."

• `base_address` vs `quote_address` — In a trading pair, base_address is the token being bought/sold; quote_address is what it was priced in (typically SOL native address on Solana). To get the token of interest, always read base_address.

• `maker_info.tags` — Array of platform labels on the wallet (e.g. ["kol", "gmgn"], ["smart_degen", "photon"]). A wallet can carry multiple tags. Use tag_rank (follow-wallet only) to see the wallet's rank within each tag category.

• Cluster signal — When multiple followed/tracked wallets trade the same token in the same direction within a short time window, this is a stronger conviction signal than a single wallet. Highlight this pattern when it appears in results.

When to use which sub-command:

• track follow-wallet — user asks "what did the wallets I follow trade?", "show me my follow list trades", "show my followed wallet activity" → requires wallets followed via GMGN platform
• track kol — user asks "what are KOLs buying?", "show me influencer trades", "what are KOLs doing recently" → returns trades from known KOL wallets
• track smartmoney — user asks "what is smart money doing?", "show me whale trades", "what is smart money buying recently" → returns trades from smart money / whale wallets

Do NOT confuse these three:

• follow-wallet = wallets the user has personally followed on GMGN
• kol = platform-tagged KOL / influencer wallets (not user-specific)
• smartmoney = platform-tagged smart money / whale wallets (not user-specific)

Sub-commands

Supported Chains

sol / bsc / base / eth / arbitrum / hyperevm / robinhood / arc / stable

Prerequisites

• gmgn-cli installed globally — if missing, run: npm install -g gmgn-cli
• GMGN_API_KEY configured in ~/.config/gmgn/.env — required for all sub-commands
• GMGN_PRIVATE_KEY — required for track follow-wallet only (signed auth); not needed for follow-tokens, kol, or smartmoney

Rate Limit Handling

All tracking routes used by this skill use GMGN's plan-based leaky bucket: Free 5/5, Plus 20/20, Pro 50/50 (rate/capacity). Sustained throughput is roughly tier rate ÷ weight requests/second, and the max burst is roughly floor(tier capacity ÷ weight).

When a request returns 429:

• On RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED, tell the user exactly: 已达到当前套餐的限频上限，点击 https://gmgn.ai/ai?chain=bsc&tab=paid_plans 升级套餐，获得更高速率限制. Show this upgrade guidance at most once per user task. Do not repeat it for subsequent RATE_LIMIT_BANNED responses during the same cooldown.

• Read X-RateLimit-Reset from the response headers. It is a Unix timestamp in seconds that marks when the limit is expected to reset.
• If the response body contains reset_at (e.g., {"code":429,"error":"RATE_LIMIT_BANNED","message":"...","reset_at":1775184222}), extract reset_at — it is the Unix timestamp when the ban lifts (typically 5 minutes). Convert to local time and tell the user exactly when they can retry.
• The CLI may wait and retry once automatically when the remaining cooldown is short. If it still fails, stop and tell the user the exact retry time instead of sending more requests.
• For RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED or RATE_LIMIT_BANNED, repeated requests during the cooldown can extend the ban by 5 seconds each time, up to 5 minutes. Do not spam retries.
