Bundle: when many wallets are really one holder
A bundle is a group of wallets, usually controlled by one person, that buy a coin together at launch. It looks like many holders on the chart, but it is one holder who can sell into any pump.

What is a bundle?
When a new coin launches, the creator or a partner can prepare ten, twenty or fifty wallets in advance. All of them buy in the very first moments, often in the same block as the launch itself.
A block is a batch of transactions that Solana confirms together. Buying in the launch block means the bundle gets the lowest possible price, before any normal trader has seen the coin.
On a holder list, the bundle looks like a healthy spread of early fans. In reality one person controls all of it.
Why does a bundle matter to you?
Supply that sits in a bundle is supply that can be sold at once. If 40% of a coin is bundled, that holder can dump into any green candle. Your buy becomes their exit.
Bundles also hide the real holder count. A coin that shows 200 holders might have 150 real people and 50 wallets owned by the dev. The real number tells you how much interest there is. The fake number tells you nothing.
How do you spot a bundle?
You need on-chain data, meaning the public record of every wallet and transaction. Look for these patterns.
- Many wallets that bought in the same block as the launch.
- Wallets that were created at the same time, or funded from the same source wallet.
- The top 10 holders owning most of the supply while the holder count looks high.
- A dev wallet with a history of the same pattern on past coins.
What is a safer pattern?
A common rule of thumb: prefer coins where the top 10 holders own under 25% of supply and no single wallet, other than the pool itself, holds over 5%. Spread-out supply means no one hand can crash the price alone.

Questions
- Is a bundle always a scam?
- Not always, but it always means concentrated supply. Treat it as a risk to size around, not a reason to relax.
- How is a bundle different from a sniper?
- A sniper is a bot that buys in the first block. A bundle is many wallets owned by one person doing that together. Snipers compete; a bundle coordinates.
