How unbundle works

What is wallet clustering — and why it matters

When a crypto KOL or trader publicly buys a token, followers often treat it as a signal. But many influential wallets don't act alone: the same person (or group) controls a cluster of wallets. The hidden side wallets accumulate the token quietly, hours or days before the public buy. When the public wallet finally buys and the audience piles in, the side wallets sell into that liquidity. On-chain, this leaves fingerprints — and those fingerprints are what unbundle reads.

The detection signals

unbundle combines multiple independent on-chain signals into a link score for every suspected side wallet:

• Front-buys — the strongest signal. A wallet that repeatedly buys the same tokens before the main wallet is either very lucky or very informed. One overlap is a coincidence; three or more is a pattern.
• Common funding ancestor — side wallets are usually funded from the same sources as the main wallet. unbundle traces SOL funding flows backwards to find shared funders.
• Shared exit destinations — profits from coordinated wallets tend to consolidate to the same addresses.
• Fresh wallet timing — side wallets are often created days before their first coordinated buy.
• Timing consistency — insiders with systematic access front-run with a consistent lead time; organic followers are erratic.

Beyond clusters

The same data powers three more tools: Flippers finds wallets that are early buyers across many unrelated launches (serial insiders), Early Buyers reveals the first 50 buyers of any token contract, and Trace resolves the real origin wallet behind Relay bridge transactions.

Who it's for

Traders who want to know whether a KOL's "call" is already front-run before they copy it. Researchers and due-diligence analysts investigating coordinated manipulation. And anyone who would rather read the chain than trust the timeline.
