Wallet IQ & Believer NFT
Wallet IQ
Section titled “Wallet IQ”Wallet IQ analyses a Solana wallet’s on-chain trading history and scores how it behaves: when it sells, how long it holds, whether it buys dips or exits the moment a position moves.
You do not need a Candle account. Go to the Wallet IQ page, connect or paste a wallet, and it scores.
How the score works
Section titled “How the score works”The analysis produces a raw Believer Score from 0 to 200, which converts to a Wallet IQ between 55 and 145. The baseline is 88.
The score is shown with its full breakdown — the factors that added to it and the penalties that subtracted from it — so you can see what drove the result rather than just the number.
Wallet IQ maps to seven tiers across three types:
| Tier | Type | Minimum IQ |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Chad | 145 |
| 2 | Chad | 130 |
| 3 | Chad | 115 |
| 4 | Mid | 100 |
| 5 | Paper Hands | 85 |
| 6 | Paper Hands | 70 |
| 7 | Paper Hands | 0 |
Believer NFT
Section titled “Believer NFT”Wallets scoring 100 or higher—the Mid and Chad ranges—are eligible to mint the Believer NFT free. Paper Hands wallets are not eligible. It is soulbound: it cannot be transferred, sold, or approved to another address on either chain. The contract reverts on every transfer and approval path.
The NFT you mint reflects your score:
| NFT | Minimum IQ |
|---|---|
| Diamond Hands | 130 |
| Holder | 115 |
| Neutral | 100 |
Scores below 100 do not produce a mintable NFT tier.
Launch eligibility
Section titled “Launch eligibility”- Open Solana launches do not require Wallet IQ or a Believer NFT.
- Solana Exclusive launches require an eligible score and a Solana Believer NFT to create or buy on the curve.
- Hood launches in the current web interface are Open and do not require the NFT.
What it unlocks
Section titled “What it unlocks”| Benefit | Detail |
|---|---|
| 0.5% trading fees | Pay 0.5% instead of the 1% Free agent rate. Web same-chain Believers also pay 0.5% (not free). See Fees. |
| Exclusive launches | Buy on gated bonding curves before the token bonds |
| Exclusive stream segments | Gated portions of livestreams and replays |
| Believer ring | Ring 4 in the Candle community. See $CNDL. |
| Profile badge | Once linked to your Candle account |
Across chains
Section titled “Across chains”The Believer NFT exists on both Solana and Hood, and holding it on either chain unlocks everything on both. Candle mirrors Solana holders to Hood automatically, and a Hood-minted NFT can be claimed back to Solana in one tap.
The two NFTs remain separate on-chain assets associated through Candle’s account-parity flow.
The exclusive-launch gate is checked on Candle’s servers against your actual on-chain holdings. It cannot be faked client-side.
If a launch is blocked
Section titled “If a launch is blocked”The launch page identifies the missing requirement. Connect the correct wallet, calculate Wallet IQ if no score exists, and mint the Believer NFT if the score is eligible but the required NFT is absent. Wallet activity and eligibility can change as new history is analyzed; a score is not a guarantee of investment performance or token quality.
A note on how your wallet is analysed
Section titled “A note on how your wallet is analysed”Wallet IQ is automated profiling. It reads your wallet’s public on-chain transaction history, scores it, stores the result against your wallet address, and that score determines whether you can mint the Believer NFT — which in turn determines whether you can buy into exclusive launches.
Scores may appear on public leaderboards keyed to wallet addresses.
