BMT Series (10): The Founding Team's Crypto Journey
The birth of Bubblemaps stems from the shared vision of a group of French crypto enthusiasts who keenly captured the pain points of on-chain data analysis and were determined to change the status quo through technological innovation. From a small-scale startup to a global team today, the founding team of Bubblemaps has brought the dawn of InfoFi to the Web3 world through their crypto journey.
Bubblemaps was founded in France by three founders, all of whom are early explorers in the blockchain field. Faced with the complexity and opacity of on-chain data, they realized that a mere blockchain explorer could not meet the needs of traders and analysts. Thus, they developed the bubble chart, an intuitive tool that visually presents token distribution and trading relationships, quickly winning the favor of the community. In 2019, Bubblemaps officially launched, marking the team's leap from concept to practice.
As the project developed, the founding team gradually turned their attention to a broader ecosystem. They not only focused on technological iteration but also actively collaborated with industry giants such as Binance, Solana Foundation, and LayerZero. These partnerships not only brought funding and technical support to Bubblemaps but also deepened the team's understanding of the potential of cross-chain data analysis. The $3 million equity financing in 2023 became a turning point for team expansion, attracting top talent from around the globe.
The team's crypto journey has not been smooth sailing. In the early days, they faced server performance bottlenecks and challenges in processing high-frequency trading data, but through continuous optimization, they launched version 2, achieving near real-time updates of on-chain data.
The founding team firmly believes that the future of blockchain lies in the transparency and operability of data. Their goal is not only to provide tools but also to build a community-driven Web3 intelligence network. It is this original intention that has allowed Bubblemaps to stand out in the fiercely competitive crypto field and made $BMT a bond connecting users, technology, and insights.
