Token snipers.

A sniper is a bot or a trader that buys a coin in its first blocks, before most people know it exists, to sell to the people who come after.

What counts as a sniper.

A wallet whose first coins came from a buy in the first blocks after the launch block. Not the creator, and not a wallet already in the bundle: those are counted on their own. As with bundles, a wallet that gets coins from a sniper by transfer is counted with the snipers.

Bought: how much of the supply the snipers got early
Hold now: what those same wallets hold today

Why it matters.

Snipers buy at the lowest price there will be. A coin they still hold a big share of has a lot of supply waiting to be sold into the next buyers. One they have sold out of has already had that selling.

Data, not advice.No snipers is not a reason to buy. It tells you who got in first, nothing more.

Keep them out of Explore.

Turn on Snipers out in Explore: only coins whose snipers hold 5% or less now. With a strict filter on, a coin we didn’t count from its launch never passes.

Common questions.

Is a sniper the same as a bundle?

No. A bundle got coins in the launch itself or bought as a cluster; a sniper bought on its own in the first blocks. We count each wallet once.

Am I a sniper if I bought early?

Only if your first buy was in those first blocks. Buying in the first hour is not sniping.

Where do these numbers come from?

The chain: every transfer since launch, read by our own index, for coins launched since 14 Oct. An older coin says its launch wasn’t counted.
