Early RFD holders may have earned more than 50 times their investment in a single transaction. How did they do it? These people tracked the deployment address on Etherscan and found that it belonged to a well-known whale.

Here is a quick guide to help you find deployment addresses and discover potential projects before others.

The deployment address refers to the wallet used to create the Token contract. By examining the address owner, the location of funds received, and which wallets are connected to the deployment address, you can find a lot of information before others.

It is very easy to find the deployment address on Etherscan: first, you need the Token address, which you can find on Dexscreener or Dextools (beware of clone versions). After you copy the Token address, you can paste it into Etherscan to view the Token's transaction history. After that, you can use wallet tracking websites like Debank to show you the complete information of the wallet.

In the case of RFD, some people early on discovered that the deployment address came from a well-known whale called Blurr, who was an OG Punk whale in 2017. Afterwards, due to the involvement of the whale and the influx of high liquidity funds, RFD experienced a crazy pump.

The deployment address may be created through a new wallet or EOA, and in this case, the process is not so simple. However, you can still collect a lot of information from Etherscan, such as:

· Wallet funding methods

· Early blindly following investment addresses· Contact with other addresses

Under the $RFD scenario, another interesting clue is that the person providing liquidity has sufficient funds. You can find information about increasing liquidity on the last page of the "Transfer" file and look for multiple contract invocation transactions of Uniswap. If you want to delve deeper into the connections between addresses, on-chain analysis tools like Breadcrumbs can be useful, but not necessary.

Please make sure that the deployment address you verify is indeed the person you think it is, as someone may create an address with a similar name to mislead users. For example, some people mention that the deployment address of PEPE is releasing a new token, but all of these reports have been confirmed to be false information.

When viewing, always verify that the contract address matches what you are looking for. Some people may use names like Photoshop or similar, so be sure to verify this information yourself.

Sometimes projects also send on-chain information through Etherscan, and you can learn more about it through this thread.

This article only roughly showcases a small part of what Etherscan can do, but it's still a good starting point. The more you explore, the more unexpected discoveries you can make on the chain, and these discoveries often allow you to seize early entry opportunities.
