What Is Bubble Maps?

Bubble Maps is a Web3 data visualization tool that transforms complex on-chain information into intuitive, interactive charts. Each bubble represents a wallet — the larger the bubble, the more tokens it holds — and lines between bubbles indicate token transfers, revealing relationships between addresses. With its color-coded, visual format, Bubble Maps makes it easy to analyze token distribution, identify wallet clustering, detect centralization, and spot suspicious patterns like wash trading, all at a glance.

⭐ Why Use Bubble Maps?

Bubble Maps makes blockchain data visual and simple. It allows you to:

Understand token distribution in seconds
Identify suspicious activity, like wash trading or token hoarding
Detect wallet clusters that might be controlled by a single party
Do your own research (DYOR) before investing in a project

📘 How to Read a Bubble Map

To make the most of BubbleMaps, here are the key elements you should understand:

Bubbles = Wallets

Each bubble represents a wallet holding the tokens. The larger the bubble, the more tokens that wallet holds. Most maps display the top 100 holders.

Lines = Wallet Interactions

Lines between bubbles show actual on-chain transfers. If two bubbles are connected, it means the wallets have exchanged tokens. This helps identify whether wallets are likely linked.

Colors = Relationships

Bubbles with the same color are part of the same transfer cluster — they’ve interacted or transferred tokens among themselves. This helps reveal potentially linked wallets or suspicious behavior.

Distribution Matters

Healthy projects tend to have decentralized holder structures. If most tokens are held by a few addresses or a connected cluster, it may indicate centralized control or dumping risk.

🚩 What to Watch For

Large connected clusters → May indicate insider wallets or whale control
A single wallet with over 50% of supply → Centralization risk
Fake distribution → Airdrop tokens sent to inactive wallets to fake decentralization
Unconnected top wallets → Often a sign of healthy distribution

🌐 Bubble Maps = Visual On-Chain Intelligence

Whether you’re an investor, researcher, or community member, Bubble Maps is a fast and effective way to uncover insights from token data. It bridges the gap between raw blockchain info and meaningful interpretation.
