Holder concentration: who can dump on you?
The share of supply held by the top 10 wallets. High concentration means a few wallets can crash the price by selling; pools and burn wallets are excluded.
What it is
ApeCheck sums the balances of the ten largest non-pool wallets. Insider-flagged wallets (linked to the deployer) are marked separately.
Why it matters
Above 50% in ten wallets, a coordinated exit leaves the rest of the holders as exit liquidity. Under 30% is a reasonably spread base for a memecoin.
Bundles and snipers
Many launches are bought in the first block by a bundle of wallets controlled by one person. They show up as a cluster of similar-sized top holders that all bought at the same time.
Caveats
Exchanges and bridges hold large balances that are not a dump risk. The report tries to exclude pools; check the holder list yourself when in doubt.
