AltSignal vs Lookonchain

WebSocket-paced alerts (~2 sec from on-chain to your phone) vs Twitter-paced reports (hours late by the time you read them).

The core difference: latency

Lookonchain is a Twitter account that posts wallet activity. It's well-curated and free, but it has two structural problems:

Delay: by the time a post lands, the move is often hours old. Smart-money exits before you see entries.
Discovery: Twitter's algorithm decides when you see it. You miss most posts unless you're glued to the feed.

AltSignal is push-based. The moment a curated wallet opens or closes a Hyperliquid position over $50k, you get a Telegram alert. No scrolling.

End-to-end latency: Hyperliquid WebSocket event → AltSignal server → Telegram push → your phone ≈ 2 seconds.

When Lookonchain is enough

You're a passive observer, not actively trading
You want broad cross-chain coverage (ETH, SOL, BSC, etc.)
Your strategy is hour-scale not minute-scale
Free matters more than latency

Lookonchain is excellent for what it is. We don't pretend to replace it.

When AltSignal wins

You actively trade Hyperliquid, especially perps and altcoins
You've missed entries because the move was old by the time CT (crypto Twitter) talked about it
You want filters: only alert me on wallet X, only on token Y, only above $250k
You'd rather Telegram than Twitter for trading alerts
You want a curated list — labeled, attributed, vetted — not every whale
