Waddles is a pseudonymous Solana memecoin trader known for his heavily tracked wallet and for his role in the MIRA charity token rally of December 2024.
Waddles is a pseudonymous cryptocurrency trader active in the Solana memecoin market, posting on X as @waddles_eth. His wallet is among the most followed in the trenches, appearing in wallet tracker roundups and copy trading lists alongside names like Cupsey, Orangie, and Cented, and monitoring services such as Topwallets advertise coverage of his moves.
Trading career
Waddles trades early stage launches on pump.fun and adjacent venues, and his labeled wallet circulates in community lists of profitable Solana memecoin traders, including forum compilations of popular trench wallets. Like other tracked whales, his significance to followers is less about published commentary and more about on chain footprint: appearances of his wallet in a new token's holder list are treated by tracker users as a market signal in themselves. Community tribute tokens referencing him, including a pump.fun coin titled "NASTY MEMECOIN TRADER (WADDLES)," exist on Solana as fan assets rather than official products.
The MIRA episode
Waddles is best known outside pure trading circles for his role in the $MIRA charity token event of late December 2024. MIRA was a Solana token created around the story of Mira, a four year old girl with a brain tumor whose father had appealed for help. In a widely shared post, Waddles explained that he had bought a large portion of the MIRA supply and sent half of it to the prominent trader blader, writing that he hoped to get the Solana community behind a good cause on Christmas. The token subsequently surged, with Benzinga reporting the crypto community pushed it to roughly an 80 million dollar market capitalization within hours, and CryptoPotato reporting that the girl's father pledged one million dollars to cancer research after the rally. The episode became one of the standard examples cited when commentators argue that trench culture can occasionally direct its liquidity toward charitable ends.
Public presence
Waddles keeps a lower posting profile than most trench personalities of comparable wallet fame, and his public reputation rests mainly on the MIRA episode and on tracker visibility. No third party allegations of wrongdoing involving Waddles appear in the sources consulted.
