How do I read holder distribution?
Short answer
Open the token's holders tab on an explorer like Solscan, then exclude the LP, burn, and known exchange wallets before judging concentration. A single non-LP wallet holding 15–20%+, or several wallets funded by the same address, signals dump risk.
Concentration is one of the fastest pre-buy reads, but weigh it alongside liquidity, authorities, and demand quality.
Related questions
Why exclude the LP and burn wallets?
They legitimately hold large amounts. Counting them as "whales" makes a safe distribution look dangerous and vice versa.
How can concentration be hidden?
Through sister wallets funded by one source. Trace the SOL that funded the top holders to spot disguised clusters.
What is a healthy distribution?
Broad ownership with no single dominant non-LP wallet, and no cluster of related wallets controlling a large share.
