Cipher: signal filtering

· One min read

Insider detection was the first half. Signal filtering is the second.

Cipher now does two things: detects insider activity on every new token, and uses that detection to filter the signal feed before anything reaches you.

Raw signals are noisy because most of them fire on compromised tokens. A volume surge looks the same whether it's organic or manufactured. Holder velocity looks the same whether wallets are accumulating or insiders are redistributing supply. Without the risk layer, signal and noise are indistinguishable.

Cipher's filter runs first. A volume surge on a token with 4 insider wallets holding 49% of supply doesn't fire. A volume surge on a token with zero insider flags does.

Signal types, now filtered:

  • Volume surge — unusual volume on a token with clean insider metrics
  • Holder velocity — rapid holder growth from organic wallets, not insider redistribution
  • Curve approaching — bonding curve above 80%, migration imminent, insiders not holding significant supply
  • Buy pressure — sustained buy/sell ratio spike from wallets that aren't flagged

Custom thresholds are coming — set your own insider % tolerance, sniper count limit, and dev wallet requirements.
