About this desk
A Big Buys alert means a large single purchase hit the token.
Wallet alerts show what money did, which is harder to fake than a post. Make Money with Matt follows Big Buys on Solana and asks whose wallets they are and what they did before.
When tracked wallets move, Big Buys prints it. Make Money with Matt adds the context: size against liquidity, wallet history and what those wallets did after.
One habit: Compare the buy size with pool liquidity; a buy that moves price far is also hard to exit. Open the buying wallet and read its last twenty trades before trusting the buy.

Our method
Make Money with Matt runs these checks on each Big Buys alert.
| # | Check |
|---|---|
| 1 | Confirm the token cannot be minted again or frozen in your wallet. |
| 2 | Test that you can sell a small amount before adding size. |
| 3 | Decide your exit before you enter, including the price where you are wrong. |
| 4 | Compare volume with liquidity and holder growth. |
| 5 | Re-check the token an hour later; many setups change fast. |
| 6 | Work from the contract address; tickers repeat across chains and copies. |

The desk's screen
The rule behind this page. Make Money with Matt keeps an alert only if it passes all of these:
- market cap at least $50.0K
- liquidity at least $10.0K
In the 27 most recent lane alerts at build time (about 4 hours), 26 passed this screen. Median values for the passing alerts: cap $3.48M, liquidity $424.7K, holders 4844. 10 of the 27 lane alerts had liquidity below a tenth of their market cap, which makes exits expensive. Across the whole lane, the ten largest wallets held a median 24 % of supply.
Values measured on 2026-09-23 from the Empire feed. The screen is a filter, not a recommendation.
