The Daily Obituary

In which the dearly departed are named, and their causes of death recorded



Submit a deceased party

Any public address. We ask for no keys, and would refuse them.

No connection. No signature. Public record only. read a specimen notice

How the notice is prepared

Three steps, none of which touch your keys


The record is consulted

Your browser asks a public Solana node for the address's recent transactions. Nothing passes through a server of ours, for the sufficient reason that we do not operate one.

The trades are reconstructed

Every transaction records token balances before and after. A balance rising while SOL falls is a purchase; the reverse, a sale. No guesswork as to which exchange was patronised.

The eulogy is set in type

Hold times, fees rendered, transactions reverted, tokens never parted with. Whichever pattern dominates becomes the recorded cause of death.

Letters to the editor

Chiefly enquiring whether this is a trap. It is not.


Is it safe?

OBIT never asks you to connect a wallet or sign anything, because it never needs to. Reading a blockchain requires no permission whatsoever. Should any site claiming to analyse your wallet ask you to sign a transaction, close it at once.

What does it actually read?

Recent transaction signatures for the address, and the token balance changes recorded within each. All of it public and permanent, whether or not anyone looks.

Is anything stored?

Nothing. There is no database and no server. The analysis happens in your browser and vanishes when you close the tab.

Why does it say my wallet is not a grave?

Because the address never paid a fee and never held a token — making it a pool vault, a program, or an account others merely reference, rather than a wallet that trades.

Why only the most recent transactions?

Public nodes serve one transaction per request, so a complete lifetime would take several minutes to assemble. We read the most recent 120, which is where the interesting decay resides in any case.
