Birdeye

Birdeye is an analytics and market data platform built initially for Solana that has since expanded to ten blockchain networks. Traders use its web terminal to screen tokens, track wallets, and set alerts; developers use its data API to build crypto products on top of the same underlying data layer.

Origins

Kha Nguyen, who served as head of product at Solscan before launching Birdeye, founded the platform in 2021 with the goal of giving traders fast, decoded access to on-chain market data. The company behind the product, Wings Lab Pte. Ltd., is incorporated in Singapore and had approximately 43 employees as of May 2026. Birdeye operates as a funded company; specific round details are not publicly disclosed.

Token Discovery and Screening

The feature that draws the most day-to-day usage is "Find Gems," a token screener that filters the full token universe across connected chains by market cap range, minimum holder count, liquidity floor, 24-hour volume threshold, mint authority status, freeze authority status, and social presence. Users can combine these filters to narrow tens of thousands of pairs down to a handful matching specific risk or signal criteria.

Token pages provide liquidity depth, a live trade tape, holder mapping, and routing and pool health data. The platform aggregates from major Solana DEXes including Jupiter, Raydium, Orca, and Meteora, and claims new pools and trades appear within seconds — faster than general aggregators. A trending tokens leaderboard tracks the top movers by price, volume, TVL, and views over 24-hour windows.

Birdeye also monitors more than 20 launchpad platforms, which lets users catch new token listings at or near launch before they appear on broader listing services.

Wallet Analytics and Smart Money Tracking

Any Solana wallet address can be analyzed for its full trading history, current holdings, PnL, and patterns of on-chain behavior. The smart money tracker identifies wallets with historically profitable early entries, flags coordinated buying clusters, and watches top holders for distribution events. Traders use this to follow wallets that have bought early before price appreciation rather than having to scan thousands of transactions manually.

The trade tape on each token page also allows inspection of transaction execution patterns — who bought, at what size, and from which wallet cluster — without needing a separate block explorer tab.

Alerts and Watchlists

Users can create watchlists of tokens and trader profiles. Price alerts fire via Telegram, Discord, email, or push notification. The platform also supports alerts on liquidity additions and removals, volume spikes paired with price impact, and wallet activity for tracked addresses. This makes it possible to monitor a token for specific structural events — such as a whale starting to sell — rather than just a price level.

Multi-Chain Coverage

Birdeye began as a Solana-native product. By 2026 it covered ten networks: Solana, Sui, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism, Avalanche, and zkSync, with data flowing from more than 300 exchanges. Solana remains the depth leader — the EVM chain coverage is functional but trails dedicated EVM analytics tools in breadth.

Birdeye Data API

The developer-facing product is hosted at data.birdeye.so under the name Birdeye Data. It provides REST endpoints across several data categories:

• Prices and OHLCV: real-time and historical candlestick data for any token or pair
• Liquidity: historical TVL, token balances, and USD liquidity for pools
• Holder analytics: holder distribution statistics by supply share
• Wallet portfolio and PnL: profit-and-loss summaries and trading statistics for any wallet
• Smart money signals: discovery and classification of high-performing wallet addresses
• Token and pair overviews: aggregate market intelligence snapshots from a token address
• Security utilities: mint and freeze authority checks and other token risk signals
• Blockchain utilities: chain-level data endpoints

Access requires an API key. A free tier is available with usage limits; paid plans for individuals, teams, and enterprises are tiered by request volume. Birdeye Data has been cited as a lower-cost alternative to services like Helius for teams that need token and DEX market data rather than raw RPC access.

Pricing

The web terminal is free with no account required for basic data browsing. A Pro subscription at approximately $45 per month unlocks additional screener capabilities and data depth. A mobile app is available on Android at no cost. The Data API offers a free developer tier; commercial tiers are priced by usage volume.

Ecosystem Position

Birdeye occupies the intersection of two use cases that often require separate tools: a front-end analytics terminal for traders and a data API for developers. Its Solana-first origin gives it meaningful data depth on that chain — particularly for DEX pair discovery and wallet intelligence — while multi-chain expansion makes the same data layer available across EVM networks.

The platform was cited in the Solana H1 2026 ecosystem report as a reference data source for on-chain activity across the network. Independent 2026 reviews rate it highly for Solana-focused analytics, noting the "Find Gems" screener and smart-money tracker as standout features, and the free tier as a differentiator against more expensive alternatives.
