Wallet Provenance & Deployer History

Two related investigation recipes: tracing where a wallet's funds first came from, and listing every token a deployer has launched (a common rug-check).

First incoming transfer (who funded this wallet)

Order the wallet's incoming transfers ascending by time and take the first — that's the initial funding event, and its sender is the funder.

{
EVM(network: eth, dataset: combined) {
Transfers(
where: { Transfer: { Receiver: { is: "0x..." } } }
orderBy: { ascending: Block_Time }
limit: { count: 1 }
) {
Block { Time }
Transfer {
Sender
Amount
Currency { Symbol SmartContract }
}
Transaction { Hash }
}
}
}

Order by Block_Time (not a transaction-timestamp field, which can drop rows). Repeat on the funder to walk the chain back a few hops; for deep multi-hop money-flow use Coinpath.

Every token a wallet deployed (rug-check)

Find contract-creation events by a deployer address to see all tokens/contracts it launched — repeat-deployer patterns are a rug signal.

{
EVM(network: eth, dataset: combined) {
Calls(
where: {
Call: { Create: true, Signer: { is: "0x..." } }
}
) {
Block { Time }
Call { To }
Transaction { Hash }
}
}
}

Call.To on a creation call is the newly-deployed contract address. On Solana, use the launchpad create instructions (e.g. pump.fun) filtered by the creator wallet — see the Solana launchpad pages.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find who funded a wallet?

Order the wallet's incoming transfers ascending by Block_Time and take the first; its sender is the initial funder. Walk back a few hops on the funder for provenance.

How do I list every token a deployer launched?

Query contract-creation calls (Create: true) filtered by the deployer/signer address; Call.To is each newly-deployed contract. Repeat-deployer patterns are a rug signal.

Can I follow funds across many hops automatically?

For deep multi-hop money-flow, use Coinpath (currently a v1 capability). The transfer-ordering recipe here is best for one or a few hops.
