How to read a bubble map
Each bubble is a wallet, sized by how much of the supply it holds. A line means the wallets have sent tokens or SOL to each other. What to look for:
- A cluster of linked bubbles often means one person or team spread supply across wallets. Add their share together; 20 wallets with 2% each is one 40% holder.
- Wallets funded from the same source in the minutes before launch are a classic sign of bundled or insider buys.
- Large unlinked wallets may be exchanges, liquidity pools or lockers. Check the label before panicking.
- Time travel matters. A clean map today can hide a cluster that already sold. Look at the map near launch.
What maps miss
Links only appear when wallets interact on-chain. Someone funding wallets through an exchange, a bridge or a mixer can look like strangers. A clean bubble map isn't proof of a fair launch; combine it with a rug checker and the launch's first trades. For pump.fun launches, see how common bundling is in our bundled launches data.
How to choose
- Checking one token before buying: Bubblemaps for the picture, RugCheck for the score.
- Investigating where money went: Arkham's Visualizer follows transfers across many hops and labels known entities.
- Building a bot or terminal: InsightX or Bubblemaps APIs return clusters and holders as data.
- Watching a token you hold: HolderScan shows whether holders are growing or whales are leaving.
The tools
Bubblemaps
Draws top holders as bubbles linked by transfers so clusters stand out, across Solana and other chains. V2 is free, including Magic Nodes, Time Travel and real-time data. BMT holders unlock top-1,000-holder maps, PnL, cross-chain analytics and AI explanations of clusters. Platforms embed maps by iframe; the Data API starts at $170 a month.
InsightX
Atlas Live is a real-time holder map that traces flows between wallets and detects proxy wallets, sold to platforms by quote for web, mobile and Telegram Mini Apps. The API covers holder distribution, clusters, snipers, bundlers, insiders and dev holdings over REST and WebSocket, free to 1,000 requests a month.
Arkham
A blockchain intelligence platform that labels wallets with the people and companies behind them. On Solana it offers the tracer, Visualizer and alerts. The Visualizer graphs transfers between wallets and entities, which suits tracing where funds went more than mapping one token's holders.
RugCheck
A free token risk report for Solana: mint and freeze authority, holder distribution, liquidity, insider signals and metadata, rolled into a risk score. Paid API plans from $40 a month.
HolderScan
Real-time holder data for 50,000+ tokens on Solana, Ethereum and Robinhood Chain: holder count changes, holder categories from new to diamond hands, cross-holdings and whales. Free plan; Premium $16 and Pro $42 a month billed every 3 months.
How we ranked
Tools that draw a map of how a token's holders are linked rank first, free before paid, then tools that show holder data without a link map. Ties go alphabetically. Features and prices were checked on each tool's own site or docs in October 2026. Editorial policy.
