I still remember the first time I saw the charts from Bubblemaps; I thought, 'So complex data can be so intuitive.' In the crypto community, whether tokens are manipulated by large holders has always been a hot topic. However, it is difficult to clarify the issue based solely on the top ten holdings list. The bubble charts provided by Bubblemaps seem to provide the answer directly.
On the chart, each wallet is a bubble, and wallets that are closely related will connect to form a network. This way, whether the token distribution is overly concentrated or if there are cross-holdings can be seen at a glance. Previously, I saw a project claiming to have a reasonable distribution, but the Bubblemaps chart showed several wallets were highly correlated, which immediately gave the community a clearer understanding of the project's risks.
I believe this kind of transparent tool greatly aids community discussions. In the past, people easily fell into speculation; now, as long as you pull up the chart, debates can naturally return to the data level. For users, this enhances trust; for project parties, it is a powerful tool to prove transparency.
In the long run, I think Bubblemaps is promoting a market culture—data visualization and information equality. It lowers the barrier, allowing everyone to understand complex on-chain relationships. This is very beneficial for a market that wants to develop healthily in the long term.
