Frequently asked questions

Look for wallets that repeatedly buy the same tokens before a known trader or KOL does, share funding sources with that trader, and send profits to the same exit destinations. unbundle automates this: paste a wallet address and it scores every suspected side wallet using front-buy patterns, funding ancestry, shared exits and timing consistency.

A wallet cluster is a group of blockchain addresses controlled by the same person or coordinated group. Traders use clusters to split their activity: hidden side wallets accumulate tokens quietly while the public "main" wallet creates the visible signal that followers react to.

A front-buy is when a wallet buys a token before another, better-known wallet buys it. If the same wallet systematically front-buys a KOL's purchases, it suggests insider knowledge — the wallet knew the public buy (and the attention it brings) was coming.

Scan the KOL's public wallet with unbundle. The analysis lists suspected side wallets with a link score and evidence — for example "bought 5 tokens before the main wallet" or "funded by the same source". A cluster of high-scoring wallets that consistently buy earlier means the public calls are pre-positioned.

Check the token's first buyers. If many of the earliest buyers are fresh wallets created around launch time, are flagged as snipers, or are connected to each other through shared funding, the launch was likely bundled. unbundle's Early Buyers tool shows the first 50 unique buyers of any Solana token contract with exactly these flags.

A serial flipper is a wallet that appears among the early buyers of many unrelated token launches. Buying early once can be luck; buying early across four or more launches is a signature of information access — the wallet is likely an insider, a sniper with private order flow, or part of launch teams.

A side wallet is a secondary address controlled by the same entity as a known main wallet. Side wallets are typically funded by the same sources as the main wallet, are often freshly created, and are used to accumulate positions without drawing attention to the public wallet.

A funding ancestor is a wallet that sent SOL to the address being analyzed — directly or through a chain of intermediate wallets. If a suspected side wallet and a known trader share a funding ancestor, they were bankrolled by the same source, which is strong evidence of common control.

When two wallets regularly send funds to the same destination address, their profits consolidate in the same place. Shared exits between a main wallet and a suspected side wallet indicate the same owner is collecting the proceeds of both.

A sniper is a wallet (usually automated) that buys a token in the same block or seconds after it becomes tradeable. Snipers are flagged by data providers like Cielo based on entry timing relative to the token's creation.

No single on-chain signal is proof. unbundle computes a link score from multiple independent signals — front-buys, shared funding, shared exits, wallet freshness, timing consistency. High scores indicate coordination that is very unlikely to be coincidental, but interpretation is always yours.

Currently unbundle analyzes Solana wallets and tokens. Cross-chain funding is partially covered: the Trace tool resolves the real origin wallet behind Relay bridge transactions, which often reveals the EVM wallet that funded a Solana address.
