Catenaa, Tuesday, September 22, 2026-  Onchain analytics platform Bubblemaps has introduced a new token discovery feed that screens projects for wallet concentration and coordinated buying patterns before they appear to users.

The Paris-based company said the system filters tokens showing suspicious insider clusters and launch bundles, two patterns often associated with manipulated token launches and potential rug pulls.

A bundle identifies wallets that bought a token within the same block or within seconds of its launch.

Such activity can indicate automated sniping or coordinated purchases by people connected to a project, although it does not by itself prove misconduct.

Clusters identify wallets linked through common funding sources, transfers or other onchain relationships.

Those connections can reveal cases where token supply appears distributed across several wallets but may actually be controlled by the same group.

Bubblemaps said the revised feed applies those tools before tokens are presented to users rather than requiring traders to investigate a project after discovering it elsewhere.

The company also introduced a Bubblemaps score for tokens appearing in the feed.

The score is intended to give users a faster assessment of wallet concentration and insider exposure without requiring them to examine a complete visual wallet map.

An integrated swap feature has also been added, allowing users to trade tokens from within the same platform after conducting their analysis.

The changes expand Bubblemaps from a blockchain visualization service toward a broader token discovery and trading interface.

Bubblemaps built its reputation around interactive wallet maps that display relationships between token holders as connected bubbles.

The platform supports networks including Ethereum, Solana and Base and has been used by traders and researchers to examine token ownership patterns and possible links between major wallets.

Its V2 platform previously added tools including Magic Nodes, which attempts to identify hidden wallet relationships, and Time Travel, which allows users to examine how token ownership changed over time.

The latest update comes as memecoin launches continue to attract scrutiny over insider allocations, bundled purchases and heavily concentrated token supplies.

Those structures can expose retail traders to sharp losses when early holders control enough supply to sell heavily into later demand.

Bubblemaps said its new tools are designed to move that analysis earlier in the trading process.

However, wallet concentration or bundled buying does not automatically establish that a token is fraudulent.

Onchain screening can identify warning signs, but project governance, liquidity, smart-contract design and developer behavior remain separate risks traders must assess.

The company’s BMT token provides access to some premium features across its ecosystem.
