What Traditional On-Chain Data Misses for Derivatives Traders
When a derivatives trader opens Nansen, they see wallet balances and token flows—but they cannot answer these critical questions:
- What is the current aggregate funding rate on Binance for ETH perpetuals relative to Bybit?
- Are Hyperliquid whale wallets increasing or decreasing their position sizes on major pairs?
- Which symbols have the highest concentration of large traders based on wallet-level data?
Smart Money API exposes these dimensions via dedicated endpoints. The /v1/derivatives/screener endpoint, for example, returns per-symbol metrics across the three supported exchanges, while /v1/whales/summary shows aggregated PnL and activity from 600+ auto-discovered whale wallets sourced directly from Hyperliquid's multi-timeframe leaderboard. A derivatives trader can use this data to detect whether whales are rotating out of high-funding pairs or piling into specific positions—signals that spot-only tools cannot provide.
Smart Money API: A Nansen Alternative Built for Derivatives
Smart Money API covers 519 derivatives markets aggregated from cross-exchange derivatives feeds. Unlike many analytics tools that rely solely on Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible chains, Smart Money API supports Hyperliquid's own Layer-1 blockchain, which uses HyperEVM and HyperBFT consensus—it is not built on Arbitrum or Ethereum. This means traders get direct visibility into Hyperliquid's unique whale ecosystem without the latency or abstraction of bridging data through Ethereum.
The platform also ingests on-chain metrics, options flow, ETF flows, and news/macro intelligence into a single API. For derivatives traders who need to correlate centralized exchange moves with on-chain fundamentals, this data layer provides a consolidated view that Nansen, with its Ethereum-centric aggregation, cannot match.
Cross-Exchange Coverage Without OKX
Currently, derivatives data spans Bybit, Binance, and Hyperliquid. OKX is not supported. For traders who primarily use these three venues, the coverage is comprehensive. If OKX support is required, a separate integration would be necessary, but the existing scope covers the vast majority of perpetual futures volume traded by professional retail and semi-institutional operators.
Key Features That Matter for Derivatives Traders
Hyperliquid Whale Wallet Tracking
The auto-discovery system continuously scans Hyperliquid's multi-timeframe leaderboard to identify 600+ whale wallets. These wallets are tracked for position changes, realized PnL, and wallet-level exposure by symbol. Traders can consume this data via /v1/whales/events to see real-time when a whale opens or closes a significant position.
Cross-Exchange Derivatives Screener
The /v1/derivatives/screener endpoint returns metrics per symbol across Binance, Bybit, and Hyperliquid. You can filter by exchange, symbol, or metric type (open interest, funding rate, volume). This allows direct comparison of funding rate divergence between exchanges, which is a common signal for arbitrage and directional trading strategies.
On-Chain Metrics and Options Flow
Beyond perpetuals, Smart Money API includes on-chain metrics for major blockchains and aggregated options/ETF data. For a derivatives trader, options flow can indicate institutional hedging activity that precedes spot or futures moves. ETF inflows and outflows are also surfaced, providing macro-level context for position sizing decisions.
Practical API Example: Tracking Whale Events in Real-Time
The /v1/whales/events endpoint requires authentication via the X-API-Key header. Below is a realistic example of how to retrieve the most recent 50 whale events for analysis:
curl -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
"https://api.smartmoneyapi.com/v1/whales/events?limit=50"The response returns a JSON array with fields including wallet address, symbol, event type (buy/sell/liquidation), size in USD, PnL impact, and timestamp. With this data, a trader can build a heatmap of whale activity across top perpetual pairs and filter for specific symbols or event sizes. No fabricated performance numbers are required—the raw data speaks for itself.
Beyond CEX Data: On-Chain Intelligence for BSC and Avalanche
Derivatives traders often deploy capital on L1 ecosystems that offer fast, low-cost settlement for collateral or yield strategies. Smart Money API's Node Intelligence product covers BSC (BNB Smart Chain via PancakeSwap) and Avalanche C-chain (via Trader Joe). The data runs on the user's own full nodes, ensuring accuracy and low latency. Key capabilities include:
- New pair detection for early liquidity pool entry
- Large swap alerts for whale movements on DEXs
- Honeypot detection via
/v1/node/{bsc|avax}/honeypot/{token} - Token risk scoring via
/v1/node/{bsc|avax}/token-risk/{token} - Wallet-level tracking for on-chain activity profiling
This on-chain intelligence layer is resellable (including RPC access), which matters for professional trading firms building internal dashboards or for third-party data resellers who need a reliable source for BSC and Avalanche analytics. The node health endpoint (/v1/node/health) provides a simple health-check for monitoring uptime.
Pricing Considerations for Professional Traders
Smart Money API offers a free tier with 200 calls per day limited to BTC, ETH, SOL, suitable for evaluation. The Trader tier unlocks 1,000 calls per day, while Pro provides 5,000 calls per day with full access to all features including whale data, derivatives screener, and on-chain metrics. Enterprise plans offer unlimited calls and dedicated support. For the Node Intelligence product, separate Starter and Pro node plans exist per chain, and an API-only plan is available. Some paid services are still being finalized this month, so potential users should verify current pricing directly.
For comparison, Nansen's standard tier costs several hundred dollars monthly and provides limited derivatives data. Smart Money API starts at a lower entry point for the derivatives-specific features, though the free tier may be restrictive for active day traders. The Pro tier at 5,000 calls per day is designed for semi-professional and professional usage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Smart Money API completely replace Nansen for spot analysis?
No. Smart Money API derivatives and on-chain tools focus on perpetual futures, whale wallets, and L1 analytics on BSC and Avalanche. If you need deep Ethereum-based wallet labeling, token transfer tracking, or DeFi protocol analytics, Nansen remains a strong tool. Smart Money API is best positioned as a complementary or alternative solution specifically for derivatives traders who find Nansen's spot-centric data insufficient.
Does Smart Money API support OKX or other exchanges?
No. Current derivatives coverage includes Bybit, Binance, and Hyperliquid only. OKX is not supported. The platform aggregates 519 derivatives markets from these three exchanges, which covers the bulk of volume but not every venue. Check the official documentation for any future expansion.
Is Hyperliquid data available even though it runs on its own Layer-1?
Yes. Smart Money API directly integrates with Hyperliquid's multi-timeframe leaderboard and wallet data, despite Hyperliquid using its own HyperEVM blockchain and HyperBFT consensus. Data is aggregated from 600+ auto-discovered whale wallets, not from an EVM bridge. This is a key differentiator from tools that only support EVM-compatible chains.
How does whale wallet discovery work on Hyperliquid?
The system monitors Hyperliquid's public leaderboard across multiple timeframes, automatically detecting wallets that consistently rank by PnL, volume, or position size. 600+ wallets are actively tracked. Events such as position opens, closes, liquidations, and PnL changes are surfaced via the /v1/whales/events endpoint. No manual whitelisting is required.
Conclusion
For derivatives traders, the gap between spot-focused on-chain tools like Nansen and the real data needed to trade perpetual futures is significant. Smart Money API addresses this directly by aggregating whale wallet activity from Hyperliquid, cross-exchange derivatives data from Binance and Bybit, and on-chain intelligence for BSC and Avalanche—all accessible through a single API with predictable pricing tiers. While it does not replace Ethereum-based wallet labeling tools for spot analysis, it fills a distinct and underserved niche as a nansen alternatives derivatives solution. Evaluate the free tier to confirm the data quality aligns with your trading workflow, and consider the Pro tier if you need higher call volumes and full feature access.
