This bubble has been said thousands of times, I'm too lazy to repeat it, but anyway, it's interesting, just be able to see it, ha, you can understand the first move of the dog dealer!
Bubblemaps is a visualization and auditing tool that turns complex on-chain data into 'bubble charts': it uses intuitive bubbles and connections to display the top 250 holding addresses, their transfer relationships, and concentration, helping you judge whether the distribution is abnormal or if there are suspicious 'accomplice' groups; it has currently iterated to V2 and is open for use on multiple mainstream public chains.
Product focus (functionalities that are useful)
1) Bubble chart mechanism: Each bubble represents a major holding address, with size corresponding to the holding amount, and connections representing real on-chain transfers; obvious 'clusters' are worth further investigation. 2) Time Travel: Replay the evolution of historical distribution and fund connections to perform project behavior audits more efficiently. 3) Magic Nodes: Automatically identify hidden address clusters to help you discover clues about collaborative trading, internal relationships, etc. 4) Multi-chain support and integration: Already covers Ethereum, Solana, BSC, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, etc., and multi-end entrances are also connected to common on-chain data/market tools, lowering the threshold for cross-ecosystem research.
Intel Desk (community investigation platform)
This is not a traditional forum, but a weekly rotating community collaboration investigation platform: Users recharge BMT into the platform and allocate funds to the 'cases' they care about; the official will allocate on-chain investigation resources and time based on the proportion of BMT each case receives; you can also submit clues, participate in votes, and track progress. To deter 'quick in and out' speculation, rapid withdrawals will incur a gradually decaying handling fee over time (e.g., initially about 20%, halved after 48 hours, down to <1% after 10 days). V2 is open to everyone, and holding BMT can unlock advanced features.
How to implement this (for researchers, risk control, compliance, and investors) is very important!
Pre-IPO due diligence: Search contracts → Review the cluster structure and historical evolution of the top 250 holdings → Mark teams/market makers/early large holders → Combine Time Travel to see if there are 'subsequent large positions' or abnormal fund transfers.
Post-launch monitoring: Add target tokens to the watchlist, regularly check if clusters shrink to a few addresses or if there are intensive inter-cluster transfers; mark and trace corresponding events (announcements, proposals, unlocks) when abnormalities occur.
Compliance/tracking: Cross-comparisons can be made on suspicious clusters across multiple chains, in conjunction with existing block explorers and risk control systems, forming a 'shape observed on the chart - path observed on-chain' dual evidence; community articles also provide practical examples of 'how to identify suspicious patterns from the chart'.
4 signals you should pay attention to (faster judgment of quality and risk) This is indeed something to watch, brothers!
1) Change in concentration: In Time Travel, whether the front row positions suddenly concentrate to a very small number of addresses. 2) Dense inter-cluster transfers: Frequent transfers between addresses in non-airdrop/team aggregation scenarios need to be scrutinized. 3) Cross-chain/cross-ecosystem expansion: Does the project show a 'healthy distribution' across multiple chains, or is it only attractive on one chain? 4) Community survey heat and conclusions: Whether Intel Desk's weekly resource allocation, voting, and conclusions are consistent, and whether they can be replicated with on-chain evidence.
Boundaries and reminders (speak plainly)
Bubblemaps provides strong visualized clues and evidence aggregation, but it is not an automatic adjudicator: large clusters ≠ necessarily malicious, connections between addresses ≠ necessarily related entities; final judgments still need to combine multi-dimensional information sources such as contract permissions, unlocking plans, KYT/blacklists, announcements, and code audits. The good news is that V2's functionality is sufficient to make 'rough screening - positioning - tracing' smooth, with low learning costs, suitable for consolidating your processes originally scattered across N tools into an interactive chart.
Use Bubblemaps as an 'on-chain relationship microscope + community collaboration investigation platform': first use bubble charts to see the structure, then use time playback to trace the process, and if necessary, throw cases into Intel Desk to let the community solidify the conclusions together. This approach can both enhance research and risk control efficiency, and turn grey judgments into verifiable on-chain evidence.
