Key Takeaways
Bubblemaps is an on-chain intelligence layer — a visual engine that transforms raw blockchain data into structured, actionable insights.
The platform is used by traders, protocols, and researchers across nine blockchains. It helps users identify token flows and wallet behavior.
Key features include Magic Nodes, Time Travel, and a community-driven Intel Desk.
Bubblemaps integrates directly into major platforms like Etherscan, DEXScreener, and CoinGecko.
Introduction
Blockchain data is transparent — but not always intelligible. With millions of transactions happening daily, identifying insider activity, token anomalies, or early trading signals can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.
That’s where Bubblemaps comes in: transforming blockchain chaos into structured, visual intelligence.
What Is Bubblemaps?
Bubblemaps is a visual intelligence platform for Web3. Each map it generates uses bubbles to represent wallets, and lines to represent token transfers between them.
This visual format makes it easy to uncover:
Token clusters.
Insider distribution patterns.
Suspicious wallet interactions.
Early signals in market activity.
From detecting pre-launch wallet connections to analyzing token flow anomalies, Bubblemaps has become a go-to resource for traders, on-chain investigators, and protocols alike.
Used by over 500,000 traders, funds, and analysts, Bubblemaps helps users investigate networks, uncover insider activity, and spot early market signals across chains. It’s already integrated into leading Web3 platforms like Etherscan, CoinGecko, and DEXScreener.
How Bubblemaps Works
Each bubble on the map represents a wallet or address, and its size reflects the number of tokens it holds. Lines between bubbles represent past token transfers. This visual layout allows users to quickly recognize patterns such as:
Whale wallets or token hoarding.
Insider wallets connected through transfers.
Coordinated activity ahead of price action.
Bubblemaps organizes both token and NFT distribution data into these interactive “bubble maps.” Features like Magic Nodes automatically highlight hidden wallet connections, while Time Travel allows users to explore how distributions evolve over time. The platform supports multiple EVM and non-EVM chains and renders maps in seconds.
The Beginning: Bubblemaps V1
Let’s do a quick exploration of Bubblemaps V1 to illustrate its basic functionalities.
First, search for a token or wallet address. In this example, we used BMT, the native token of Bubblemaps, which is available on both BNB Chain and Solana networks.
By default, the visualization tool displays the top 150 holders of a token. Bubbles representing contracts or exchanges are automatically hidden. However, users can reveal them by clicking the eye icon next to their address or name.
Additionally, multiple contracts and exchanges can be revealed or hidden at once using the Top Wallets List menu. When a wallet is selected, clicking ‘Show Transfers’ displays the blockchain transactions associated with that address.
While connecting is not required to use the app, users have the option to log in with their X accounts or Web3 wallets such as Trust Wallet, MetaMask, or Phantom.
Today: Bubblemaps V2
Bubblemaps V2 is an upgraded version of the platform with better features for tracking token holders and blockchain transactions.
Key features of Bubblemaps V2 include:
Improved Bubble Maps: The bubble maps are more intuitive and feature new tools to improve your analysis.
Time Travel: Historical analysis that shows changes in token distribution over time, helping track potentially significant movements in the market.
Magic Nodes: Uses smart techniques to uncover hidden links between wallets, which can be useful for fraud detection.
Filtering and customization: Users can filter data based on token type, transaction amount, and other parameters.
Extra fresh data: The platform refreshes data every six hours to provide the latest insights.
Cross-chain: Bubblemaps V2 works with multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, Tron, BNB Chain, and many more to come.
Following a private beta with over 200,000 users, V2 is now open to everyone. Bubblemaps has already played a central role in high-profile investigations featured in The Financial Times, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. These include tracing suspicious wallet activity of the TRUMP and MELANIA tokens, and uncovering early insider movements during Solana’s memecoin season.
What Makes Bubblemaps Unique?
A new financial primitive: InfoFi
On-chain transparency was Web3’s first breakthrough, but transparency without structure can be overwhelming. Bubblemaps brings meaning to the noise, enabling real insights, accountability, and alpha.
This structured intelligence layer is what defines InfoFi: a new Web3 paradigm where information becomes financial infrastructure. Just as DeFi unlocked capital, InfoFi unlocks intelligence — and Bubblemaps is a core part of it.
Signature visuals
Bubblemaps is not a dashboard — it’s a visual tool. Its interface allows anyone, from retail traders to institutional analysts, to explore wallet clusters and detect trading anomalies at a glance.
This format makes complex on-chain activity instantly understandable — without requiring SQL or technical knowledge.
Live infra, everywhere
Bubblemaps is integrated across the leading tools in Web3, including:
Etherscan
CoinGecko
DEXScreener
Pump.fun
Photon
These integrations ensure Bubblemaps insights are accessible where users already trade, research, and investigate.
Community intelligence: the Intel Desk
The Intel Desk is Bubblemaps’ community-driven investigation platform. Users can submit on-chain cases and stake BMT tokens to vote on which investigations should be prioritized.
Any BMT holder can participate, and contributors are rewarded when their insights help uncover suspicious behavior. The system is designed to make blockchain research more collaborative and transparent.
The Intel Desk is structured to encourage ongoing participation across several roles:
Proposers: Submit new cases by staking BMT to highlight suspicious on-chain activity.
Voters: Allocate BMT to the most compelling cases. The more support a case gets, the more likely it is to be selected.
Investigators: Contribute research, insights, or visual analysis that help uncover relevant patterns. Successful contributions can be rewarded in BMT.
Each week, the Intel Desk allocates a portion of its resources to the top-voted cases. Once selected, these investigations may be published, featured on social media, or used as the basis for community reports. It transforms Bubblemaps from a solo analysis tool into a full-scale research platform driven by its community.
The Intel Desk not only empowers individuals to explore the blockchain but also creates a public archive of well-researched cases that improve transparency across Web3 ecosystems.
What Is the BubblemapsToken (BMT)?
BMT is the native utility token that powers the Bubblemaps platform. It grants holders access to advanced tools and governance capabilities.
BMT use cases:
Unlocking premium tools like AI clustering, historical token tracing, and advanced filters.
Voting on new investigations via the Intel Desk.
Participating in the long-term direction and development of the Bubblemaps ecosystem.

Closing Thoughts
Bubblemaps is building something much bigger than a blockchain visualizer — it’s constructing the InfoFi layer of Web3.
As the industry moves toward more transparency and intelligence-based decision-making, Bubblemaps is giving users the infrastructure to act on blockchain data with clarity and confidence.
From its signature visuals to its real-time integrations, it’s already used by hundreds of thousands of users. And with BMT unlocking the full experience, the platform is evolving into a powerhouse for both retail users and institutional analysts alike.
As crypto moves on-chain, the edge is no longer access but interpretation. Bubblemaps marks the shift where structured data drives discovery, conviction, and trust in the emerging InfoFi sector.
