sheets with onchain data by importing them from Etherscan!
A tip: ERC-20 transfers with the same transaction hash indicate the swap was made in the same transaction
This would get us the best guesstimate of which tokens this address is buying 💰
In the example above we see that 1.64 ETH worth of "CZ" tokens were purchased
