Bubble maps: how a single image exposes "distributed" supply
Scammers have long learned that a top holder with 60% scares people off, - so they slice the supply into dozens of "independent" wallets. Bubble maps kill this trick with a single image.
What the map shows
Each bubble is a wallet (size = share), lines are connections: transfers between wallets, a common funding source, synchronized operations. "Distribution" across fifty wallets connected in one graph with a shared root is one owner with extra steps.
Patterns you can spot right away
- Star: one wallet distributed to dozens - a classic pre-pump giveaway before "organic growth".
- Chain: A→B→C→D with equal amounts - a lazy scammer's attempt to cover tracks.
- Cluster around a CEX withdrawal: wallets funded by one series of exchange withdrawals - a single hand.
- Clean field: large holders with no connections and their own history - a genuinely healthy holder mix.
Limits of the method
Funding through exchanges and mixers breaks visible links - pros do exactly that: no visible connections on the map is not a guarantee of honesty. Plus false links: a shared exchange deposit address can "relate" unconnected people. The map is a first-pass filter, not a verdict.
